A challenge for the Maple Leafs will be to find a General Manager. [[Brian Burke]] was a favorite for the Leafs vacant position but decided to stay with the Anaheim Ducks. Burke was not given permision to talk to the Leafs about their vacancy by Ducks owner [[Henry Samueli]]. <ref>[http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/GAM.20080424.SHOALTS24/TPStory/TPComment globeandmail.com: Burke stays put, leaving Leafs in the lurch<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Burke had one more year left on his contract as the general manager of the Ducks and those close to him say he was interested in the Leafs' job.


On [[May 7]]. the Leafs fired head coach [[Paul Maurice]], along with two assistant coaches after missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons<ref> [http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080507/Leafs_fired_080507/20080507?hub=TopStories Paul Maurice fired as Leafs head coach] </ref>. On May 8th, the Leafs asked the Vancouver Canucks permission to speak to [[Dave Nonis]] about hiring him for a position with the club. <ref>[http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/05/08/5506096-sun.html CANOE - SLAM!

In mid-May, there were rumours that Gretzky was in the running for a position with the Maple Leafs. Gretzky responded to the rumours linking him to the Toronto Maple Leafs by stating that his focus was on the Phoenix Coyotes and developing their young talent. <ref>[http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=237662&lid=sublink03&lpos=headlines_nhl Gretzky's focus remains in Phoenix, not Toronto<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>


On June 10, Ron Wilson was hired as the new head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Wilson was fired in May by San Jose after the Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round of the NHL playoffs. Wilson has also coached the Anaheim Ducks and the Washington Capitals. The former U.S. college player spent parts of three NHL seasons with the Leafs in the 1970s. <ref>[http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/06/10/5831761-cp.html CANOE - SLAM!

The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Al Coates as their player-personnel director on Monday, June 16. <ref>[http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/06/16/5893916-cp.html CANOE - SLAM! Sports - Hockey NHL - Toronto - Leafs hire Al Coates<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Coates comes to Toronto after spending the previous six seasons with Anaheim. Coates has spent more than 30 years in pro hockey and has been part of two Stanley Cup-winning teams ('07 with Anaheim and '89 with Calgary).
The move perpetuated speculation that Anaheim Ducks general manager Brian Burke will become the Leafs' GM once his deal with the Ducks expires in 2009, but this speculation is premature. New head coach Ron Wilson played hockey with Burke at Providence, but this is largely considered moot and mildly coincidental.


Former NHL star Joe Nieuwendyk was named as general manager Cliff Fletcher's special assistant on July 8. <ref>[http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/07/09/6107731-sun.html CANOE - SLAM!

Throughout the offseason, the Maple Leafs have been involved in numerous transactions. On [[June 24]], the Toronto Maple Leafs put Goaltender [[Andrew Raycroft]] and Forward [[Kyle Wellwood]] on waivers. <ref>[http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=366888 Toronto Maple Leafs - Mike Ulmer's Blog: Leafs Begin Promised Overhaul - 06/24/2008<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Also, Interim GM [[Cliff Fletcher]] informed [[Darcy Tucker]] that he is to be bought out of his three-year contract, however it will not be official until June 25th. <ref>[http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=366920 Toronto Maple Leafs - News: Maple Leafs To Buy Out Tucker - 06/24/2008<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

When the free agent signing period began on [[July 1st]], the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] signed on defenceman [[Jeff Finger]], goaltender [[Curtis Joseph]] to back up current starting goaltender [[Vesa Toskala]] and former [[Dallas Stars]] forward [[Niklas Hagman]]. Another transaction was made on [[July 3rd]], as [[Cliff Fletcher]] was busy again as he traded for former [[Montreal Canadiens]] forward [[Mikhail Grabovski]] in exchange for the rights to [[Greg Pateryn]] and a 2nd round draft choice in 2010. The Leafs also resigned forwards [[Dominic Moore]], [[John Mitchell]], and Greg Scott.

“The elegant simplifications of the human form, picked out with Beck's layered color, is reminiscent of the 19th-century Munich school, a style conceived to ennoble the human form and the very atmosphere it walks through. Beck crosses this up with his ugly folks and perverse demi-narratives. It is just the unpredictability of beauty and disgust mixing that arrests the viewer -- and sometimes makes him or her mad as a wet hen.”

“Mr. Beck says he once heard a visitor to one of his shows characterize the work as ‘Norman Rockwell gone bad.’ That sums up his territory: Mr. Beck seems determined to take America's pulse at the end of the century, and it races. Mr. Beck's sturdily built characters tend to smile a lot, but it's obvious that the smiles mask anxieties.”

“This artist is not afraid to paint at the top of his lungs. Beck's handling of pigment is professional, but everywhere subordinated to the themes he's painting. Its chalky flatness works almost as if he's stressing the fact that his painting is no Frenchified thing, but real American art.”

“Beck's complex figure compositions bring baroque spatial dynamics into the back yards of America. His individuals are either unhappily sexualized or awkwardly self aware, or both. They strain under the demands of pleasure, always terrified that they will reveal some forbidden part of their private psyches.”
Richard Huntington, Buffalo News [12]


On October 6, the team placed [[Mark Bell]] on waivers.

The 2008–09 Toronto Maple Leafs season is the franchise's 91st, and their 81st as the Maple Leafs. The Leafs will look to qualify for the postseason for the first time since the 2003–04 season. Template:NHLSeasonTOC

Offseason

A challenge for the Maple Leafs will be to find a General Manager. Brian Burke was a favorite for the Leafs vacant position but decided to stay with the Anaheim Ducks. Burke was not given permision to talk to the Leafs about their vacancy by Ducks owner Henry Samueli. [1] Burke had one more year left on his contract as the general manager of the Ducks and those close to him say he was interested in the Leafs' job.

On May 7. the Leafs fired head coach Paul Maurice, along with two assistant coaches after missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons[2]. On May 8th, the Leafs asked the Vancouver Canucks permission to speak to Dave Nonis about hiring him for a position with the club. [3]

In mid-May, there were rumours that Gretzky was in the running for a position with the Maple Leafs. Gretzky responded to the rumours linking him to the Toronto Maple Leafs by stating that his focus was on the Phoenix Coyotes and developing their young talent. [4]

On June 10, Ron Wilson was hired as the new head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Wilson was fired in May by San Jose after the Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round of the NHL playoffs. Wilson has also coached the Anaheim Ducks and the Washington Capitals. The former U.S. college player spent parts of three NHL seasons with the Leafs in the 1970s. [5]

The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Al Coates as their player-personnel director on Monday, June 16. [6] Coates comes to Toronto after spending the previous six seasons with Anaheim. Coates has spent more than 30 years in pro hockey and has been part of two Stanley Cup-winning teams ('07 with Anaheim and '89 with Calgary). The move perpetuated speculation that Anaheim Ducks general manager Brian Burke will become the Leafs' GM once his deal with the Ducks expires in 2009, but this speculation is premature. New head coach Ron Wilson played hockey with Burke at Providence, but this is largely considered moot and mildly coincidental.

Former NHL star Joe Nieuwendyk was named as general manager Cliff Fletcher's special assistant on July 8. [7] While playing for the Florida Panthers, Nieuwendyk gained experience as a special consultant to GM Jacques Martin.

Throughout the offseason, the Maple Leafs have been involved in numerous transactions. On June 24, the Toronto Maple Leafs put Goaltender Andrew Raycroft and Forward Kyle Wellwood on waivers. [8] Also, Interim GM Cliff Fletcher informed Darcy Tucker that he is to be bought out of his three-year contract, however it will not be official until June 25th. [9]

The Maple Leafs bought out goaltender Andrew Raycroft on June 28th, making him eligible for free agency on July 1st. When the free agent signing period began on July 1st, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed on defenceman Jeff Finger, goaltender Curtis Joseph to back up current starting goaltender Vesa Toskala and former Dallas Stars forward Niklas Hagman. Another transaction was made on July 3rd, as Cliff Fletcher was busy again as he traded for former Montreal Canadiens forward Mikhail Grabovski in exchange for the rights to Greg Pateryn and a 2nd round draft choice in 2010. The Leafs also resigned forwards Dominic Moore, John Mitchell, and Greg Scott. On July 14, the Maple Leafs acquired forward Ryan Hollweg in a trade with the New York Rangers for a 5th round draft pick in 2009.
