Welcome back to Hobson's mailbag. I apologize for the lack of posts on the topic of this segment, I've been very busy with schoolwork and other distractions, but we're back tonight. Tonight's edition features two questions via twitter and one via facebook. Enjoy.
@PHUHobson What are your thoughts on the media members not being allowed to be on the team charter anymore?

I think it's a good thing for the team and the organization all together. Everybody knows that the Toronto media is among the worst in the entire NHL. Considering this season will likely feature a long run of pain for the Leafs and their fans, the media will have an even bigger reason to attack players any chance they get. In general, I think the media staying off of the plane to road games is a good call. Will be better for the team.
@PHUHobson Which team in the Atlantic will give Toronto the biggest problem in terms of how they match up? Vise versa?

Who will give the Leafs the most trouble this season? I'm gonna go with not neccesarily the best team, but the team that has been known to cause the most trouble for the Leafs over the years. The Buffalo Sabres. The Leafs have always had a ton of trouble against the Sabres dating back to the mid 2000s, mainly at First Niagara Center. Tonight was a good example of that case. Buffalo has a good team heading into this season and with the Leafs likely to be in the Auston Matthes sweepstakes, it's very likely that Buffalo rips on the Buds every chance they get. Now, who will the Leafs give the most trouble? That's hard. If anyone, maybe Ottawa. It's almost the same situation as the Buffalo/Toronto deal, but the other way around. The Leafs have always seemed to have Ottawa's number, so maybe them if anyone? I don't know.Q: How do you feel about the Zajac rumours? (Jacob Du via Facebook)
A: It really depends who the Leafs send back. I highly doubt that Shanahan and Co. would make a deal revolving around Zajac, despite his relationship with Lou Lamoriello. If anything, he'd be a camp dump in a deal acquiring a 1st round pick or a prospect for JVR, Kadri, or Bozak in return. In general, I'm okay with Zajac becoming a Leaf as long as they're getting something with more value along with him in return.
Thanks for reading.
