For us Finnish hockey fans this is pretty cool! In August we get to see John Klingberg play in Finland again. He played 20 Liiga games with Jokerit in 2011-12, and as an awesome gesture he will return to play in the Liiga Alumni game.The game will be played August 16th at Lahti ice rink, and profits go to the support of youth hockey. The teams will be Häme region against the rest of Finland. Häme (Tavastland in Swedish, Tavastia in Latin, dunno in English) is a region in Finland, and in 2019 HPK, a team from Häme won the Liiga championship bowl Kanada-malja.Source in Finnish: https://ift.tt/2LgOosp in addition to Klingberg the Dallas Stars seems to be pretty strongly presented at the Liiga Alumni game as 30% of active players and over 40% of retired players are or have played in the Stars.Active players in alphabetic order:Aleksander BarkovValtteri FilppulaMiro HeiskanenRoope HintzJulius HonkaHenri JokiharjuJussi JokinenKaapo KakkoOliwer KaskiJoel KivirantaJohn KlingbergLeo KomarovJesperi KotkaniemiPatrik LaineKevin LankinenEsa LindellMikko RantanenJuuse SarosTeuvo TeräväinenJoni TuulolaJuuso VälimäkiAnd retired players:Kari Eloranta, Niklas Hagman, Sami Helenius, Raimo Helminen, Marko Jantunen, Niko Kapanen, Veli-Pekka Ketola, Jari Kurri, Jere Lehtinen, Juha Lind, Jyrki Lumme, Toni Lydman, Antti Miettinen, Ville Nieminen, Janne Niinimaa, Petteri Nummelin, Teppo Numminen, Janne Ojanen, Lasse Oksanen, Marko Palo, Reijo Ruotsalainen, Esa Tikkanen, Marko Tuulola, Jarkko VarvioSo many interesting line combinations in there to choose from!

A brief history of the Maple Leafs trading for defensemen
The Maple Leafs pulled off a major trade on Monday, acquiring Jake Muzzin from the Kings for a first-round pick and two prospects. For the most part, early reactions were positive for Toronto and the deal undeniably makes them better in the short term.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the move will work out in the long run. That’s the funny thing about trades; you can never be quite sure how they’ll be viewed in hindsight. That can be especially true when you’re dealing for help on the blueline, where finding the right fit for the right player can be tricky even if the price tag makes sense.
Luckily, the Leafs have plenty of experience in this area. Today, let’s crack open the history books and look back on the last 30 years of the Toronto Maple Leafs trading for blueline help. This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list of each and every defenceman the team has acquired during that span (as much as I’m looking forward to all the comments along the lines of “Ummm, no Gord Kruppke?”), but we’ll cover off most of the bigger names.
Some of these moves worked. Some of them didn’t. Some of them were just confusing. And someday down the road, we’ll be able to look back and know which category the Muzzin deal belongs in.
The blockbusters
“Blockbuster” is admittedly subjective, and there may be other deals on this list that you’d argue belong in this category. But in the modern history of Leafs’ blueline deals, these three stand out. And maybe somewhat surprisingly, from a Leafs’ perspective, they mostly hold up well in hindsight.
The trade: On January 31, 2010, the Leafs sent Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Ian White and Jamal Mayers to Calgary for Dion Phaneuf, Fredrik Sjostrom and Keith Aulie.
The situation: This was the first full season of the Brian Burke era and it was not going well. With the Leafs near the bottom of the league and without their own first-round pick, Burke pulled off a seven-player swap with the Flames that was built around Phaneuf, a 24-year-old who was less than two years removed from being the Norris Trophy runner-up.
youtube
The verdict: At the time, the consensus was that the Leafs had pulled off a robbery. In hindsight, not so much, as Phaneuf never lived up to the franchise-savior hype that greeted him in Toronto. Still, he was the Leafs’ captain and top defenceman for most of the next seven years and none of the players they gave up for him amounted to major losses. This trade still looks like a win on balance, even if it never came close to matching expectations.
The trade: On March 3, 2004, the Leafs acquired Brian Leetch and a fourth-round pick from the Rangers for prospects Maxim Kondratiev and Jarkko Immonen, plus a first and a second.
The situation: This was John Ferguson Jr.’s first major trade as Leafs GM and it was an all-in move at the deadline. The 2003-04 Leafs were very good and very old and with the lockout looming they represented what looked like the last chance to win a Cup during the Pat Quinn era. With his window open for a big move, Ferguson went out and landed the biggest name available in the 36-year-old Leetch.
The verdict: Leetch debuted with a three-assist night and instantly looked like the team’s best blueliner. But the Leafs didn’t win the Cup that year, falling in the second round to the Flyers. And while Leetch had a year left on his contract, it was wiped out by the lockout, so this became an expensive short-term rental. Still, none of the picks or prospects amounted to much of anything, so it’s best viewed as a smart gamble that just didn’t pay off.
The trade: On November 10, 1990, the Leafs sent forwards Ed Olczyk and Mark Osborne to the Jets for Paul Fenton and Dave Ellett.
The situation: This was the Leafs hitting the detonate button on a disastrous start to the season. A year after generating some optimism with a .500 finish, the Leafs were a 2-15-1 laughingstock when they pulled the trigger on a four-player blockbuster.
youtube
The verdict: Ellett didn’t come cheap, as Olczyk had been the Leafs best forward during his three seasons in Toronto and had only just turned 24. But while he’d play well in Winnipeg and for another decade around the NHL, the deal still worked out well enough for the Leafs as Ellett became their top blueliner for most of the next seven years and was a key piece of the Fletcher/Burns/Gilmour-era resurgence.

The Difference between the 2009 and 2017 Maple Leafs
The start to this season has been a dream situation for the Maple Leafs with a 6-1 record over 7 contests and currently near the top of the NHL Standings. Lead by Auston Matthews with 6 Goals and 10 points and a very balanced offensive attack that has scored a league high 34 goals through 7 games (Average of 4.9 Goals a game). The team unfortunately hasn’t been stellar defensively with 22 goals allowed during that time (3.1 Goals Per game). Still, this Maple Leafs start has been a dream come true for many fans who have suffered for years as a Maple Leaf fan and although other fans are probably tired of hearing that, it’s true. The Maple Leafs have only made the playoffs twice in the last 12 seasons and went on a stretch of 7 seasons without playoff hockey. From the Playoffs the Maple Leafs haven’t won a playoff round since 2004. The 2009-10 season was a particular dark time in Leafs hockey; they had just come off a season where Mats Sundin was playing with the Canucks, McCabe went to Florida and Brian Burke just stepped into the front office (which was an improvement of Cliff Fletcher but so is a 9 year old with limited hockey knowledge). Enter the Ron Wilson Maple Leafs, a team that will be attempting to right the sunken ship and reach the postseason. During the off-season Brian Burke signed Mike Komisarek to a 5 year deal (lead to a buy-out) , Francois Beauchemin to a 3 year deal and traded for Garnet Exelby. He also traded away prospect defenseman Anton Stralman (who is now a consistent defenseman on Tampa Bay) for forward Wayne Primeau and a 2nd round pick. He acquired All Star Phil Kessel for 2 First Round picks (Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton) and a 2nd Round Pick (Jared Knight) to eliminate our prospect pool for the next couple seasons. Lets Take a look at the 2009 opening night roster in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens (Phil Kessel was sidelined with a shoulder injury for the first month of the season).
LW C RW
Alexei Ponikarovsky Mikhail Grabovski Niklas Hagman
Jason Blake John Mitchell Matt Stajan
Lee Stempniak Rickard Wallin Viktor Stalberg
Jay Rosehill Wayne Primeau Colton Orr
D D GK
Francois Beauchemin Tomas Kaberle Vesa Toskala
Ian White Mike Komisarek
Luke Schenn Garnet Exelby
If you have no idea who have theses players are, then you are fortunate and if you remember this lineup, then you understand the pain. The Leafs out shot the Canadiens 46-27 but lost 4-3 in overtime on a Josh Gorges goal. The Redeeming quality was 2 goals by Matt Stajan, Ponikarovsky with a goal and Colton Orr, Jay Rosehill and Mike Komisarek each receiving fighting majors. The Following match-up was a 6-4 loss against Washington. Toskala was pulled after allowing 3 goals in the first period and new comer Jones Gustavsson allowed 3 goals on 19 shots in the second. Down 6-1 the Leafs scored 3 in the third to make the outcome seem better than the humiliation it really was. The Grabovski line does well contributing 3 goals. The following game is a closely fought battle with the Senators but the Senators score two in less than a minute and win 2-1 in regulation. Jonas Gustavsson with 26 saves and Matt Stajan scored. Pittsburgh is next and Crosby scores twice on the power-play. The game is over after two periods with the Penguins up 4-1. Final score of 5-2. Vesa Toskala struggles allowing all 5 goals and Rickard Wallin has 2 assists. Fun Fact, this was the only season Wallin ever played in the NHL. He quickly realized the Leafs were awful and returned to Sweden the following season. Next game is a 7-2 loss against the Rangers. Sean Avery scores 2 goals and even Wade Redden snipes one past Vesa Toskala who is still in net for this game. 0-4-1 is the record. The following night is a 4-1 loss against Colorado with Joey McDonald allowing 4 goals on 28 shots. McDonald had spent the previous year as back-up of the New York Islanders and only played 6 games with the Leafs during this season. Darcy Tucker scored against Toronto and added an assist and at this point I remember rooting for players like Tucker (former Leafs) during these stretch of games. Tyler Bozak also made his NHL debut in this game and assisted on the only Maple Leafs goal. A couple of nights later the Maple Leafs lost 4-1 against the Rangers and Joey McDonald is bad again. The Leafs re-affirm to fans that our defense is awful and our offense can’t score. The only Redeeming quality was the fans of Toronto for the continued support for this team on a Saturday night in 2009. The Maple Leafs next game is a 3-1 loss against the Canucks in another painful game. The Leafs finally picked up a win a few nights later against the Ducks, 6-3 thanks to a Niklas Hagman hat trick and moderately decent defensive effort. The Bottom line, the Maple Leafs opened the 2009-10 season 0-7-1. They have just opened the 2017-18 season 6-1-0. The Difference 8 years makes is phenomenal. The only remaining players in the NHL from that opening night roster is Matt Stajan (Calgary), Lee Stempniak (Carolina), Francois Beauchemin (Ducks) and Luke Schenn (Arizona). The modern day Maple Leafs currently outscore their opponents 34-22. The 2009 Maple Leafs during their opening 8 games were outscored 35-15. In 2009 Leafs fans were on the bad end of the spectrum but finally there is hope. Management is smart with draft picks and prospects and understands a true rebuild. The coach demands the players to work hard and there are consequences if effort is not shown (Marner demoted to 4th line). During the 2009 season Jason Blake, Phil Kessel and Ponikarovsky rarely back checked or showed any interest in defense but their minutes never changed. It is nostalgic to look back at the old Leafs and appreciate how far we have come and I even have favorites from those years. My favorite 3 players on the 2009 team were Mikhail Grabovski, Colton Orr and Tomas Kaberle. So, Regardless of the times, I’m always a Maple Leafs fan and looking back at 2009 and that start should make fans appreciate the new look 2017 Maple Leafs even more.
