The Men’s Olympic Hockey Tournament has begun, and while there aren’t any current NHL players, the Leafs have an interest in four players taking part. One or more of them could, in theory, play for the Leafs later this season.
- Josh Ho-Sang, currently on the Marlies on an AHL contract, has skated on Team Canada’s top line in practice in Beijing. Ho-Sang might get an NHL contract after the Olympics are over if the Leafs have the cap space to keep him on the roster. He would need to be signed by the trade deadline, however, to be eligible for the playoffs.
