The Maple Leafs' apprentices, the Marlies, have punched their ticket into the Calder Cup Conference finals with an emphatic wallop.

Why the Leafs won't be making that 25th pick at the draft -- And -- what's left to consider on this reported search for additional front office help. What exactly is Brendan Shanahan looking for?
