Maple leafs have had serious talks with the Arizona Coyotes for D-Man Jason Demers. Demers fits the style of Leafs defensive scheme and could pair with either Reilly or Gardiner. Demers can fill the gap till Timothy Lilgegren is ready to fill that role.

Hearing Mike Green of the Detroit Red Wings is being looked at to bolster the Maple Leafs Blueline. The Leafs have been testing the water by dangling Kasperi Kapanen and picks. Leafs do not want to part with Nylander like most teams have asked for in return. #Leafs

Today there is no home team, no away team but one team that stands together to support awareness of mental health and the effects it has on those we love, those that are friends and those that are our fellow countryman! #BellsLetsTalk

Encourage the @NHL to do more to get behind mental health. Players that retire from the NHL struggle to find a purpose and have higher levels of anxiety. #BellLetsTalkDay

@DarrenDreger Great story on Paul Ranger! What courage and reminder of how important it is to talk about mental health #BellLetsTalk
