The Athletic’s Corey Pronman gives a few thoughts on the organization’s draft work and young prospects: “You can kind of start seeing what a legitimate top two lines look like, you can see what a legitimate top-four defense looks like.

The Leafs have inked Joey Anderson to a three-year contract. Here’s Toronto GM Kyle Dubas on Anderson: “I mean, he’s no slouch either. And I know people don’t view it that way. But there was a lot of interest in Andreas, and we elected to go with Joey because of his combination of talent that he’s shown, his character, and his competitiveness.” [Sportsnet]
We’re truly into the offseason now: Sportsnet is running a little tournament to determine “The Greatest NHL Goal of the 21st Century.” Among the 32 initial choices: Blake Coleman’s nifty little one-handed goal against the Jets last year. [Sportsnet]
