The Leafs' 2026-27 schedule is officially out, and David Alter of The Hockey News joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break it all down.
The guys discuss the biggest takeaways from the schedule, the surprising back-to-back disparity between Toronto and Montreal, and why the NHL did a better job of grouping road trips this season. They also dive into the shortened training camp, what it could mean for the quality of play early in the season, and the storyline Alter is most excited to cover—including Mike Babcock's return to Toronto.
Plus, Alter weighs in on John Chayka's offseason, whether the Maple Leafs are actually better than they were at the end of last season, the biggest question surrounding Gavin McKenna, and his prediction for where Toronto will be by Christmas.
