After a horrid stretch of hockey and falling to fifth in the Atlantic division, the Toronto Maple Leafs have drawn criticism from fans and media alike. But the team that is currently disappointing Leafs Nation isn't exactly what it was meant to be.

When Mimico, Ontario native David Clarkson signed a lucrative seven-year, $36 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs this past offseason, the former Devils winger could hardly hold his excitement to play for the team he grew up watching.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis made his presence felt early into the start of the NHL's free agency period, inking winger David Clarkson to a seven-year deal worth $36.75 million, and re-signing centre Tyler Bozak to a five-year extension.

Toronto - James Reimer is back. The Toronto Maple Leafs goalie made his first start on home ice since returning from a head injury and went toe-to-toe with New Jersey Devils’ Martin Brodeur on Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre.
