Well I guess there's some confirmation about Kadri. It's a good area if you're someone who doesn't wanna be bothered. It's quiet and there's not much foot traffic here as opposed to say, liberty village or the area around the ACC.Bozak, Bernier, Komarov, Jonas Valenciunas, and former leaf Matthias all reside in trump tower. Kadri lives out by exhibition in a condo at Bathurst and lakeshore. Gardiner and Rielly live in maple leaf square, 55 Bremner, lots of social media stuff to confirm they live there. Yes Kessel and Bozak lived at college park 2. There is no hot dog stand outside that condo and there literally never has been in the time Kessel played here.
That's as much as I'll share. I know more stuff including a couple players emails, but I'm not that much of a jerk that I would share it and I'm literally never going to do anything with that knowledge... But let's just say they are so hilariously simple it's like they're hiding in plain sight.
Source: I live in Toronto and walk around a lot. Also whenever you see the leaf eps or snapchats / instas there are lots of clues if you know TO and you know condos. Trump confirmed by my own eyes and by employees who work there. It's not really a secret if you live downtown... People are generally decent and don't even bother them too much when they're out and about either.
Why the hell would a professional athlete live with their parents?

On the leaf episodes last season.. Or was it HBO? They literally did a whole bit on him in his condo... Getting ready for the game, leaving out of the parking garage, driving down the streets in that area. Seriously it's not a secret, these guys don't live in secrecy in safe houses, they count on the good nature and common sense of people and realize there are crazies out there, but then remember that they are big professional athletes who can easily check anyone who steps out of line. These guys are also usually fiercely protected by their building staff, so there's a bubble at least.
This is something I speculated on a while back.
Living in a Cap world, every organization wants to get an edge.
What would stop the Leafs from building this amazing, say 10 million dollar plus mansion/complex somewhere in the city. It would have multiple units in it, say 7 or 8 sub units in it (or more?). Amazing gym, workout rooms, in a gated private area.
"UNITS" could be offered to players, families, UFA's as temporary lodging... I know players often live in hotel rooms sometimes for weeks/months pending their contract status. Something like "as a member of the organization we also have this space available for you and your family, coming to a city you don't know and hunting for a place to live, here's a 4-5 star dwelling you can "use as a member of the team".
Not trying to "skirt the salary cap", but wouldn't this be a huge bonus to any player as say a UFA, knowing their accommodation was included for a crazy low monthly rate, in a building with teammates etc and other families? How could the league see this a cap circumvention in any way? Just the team offering a place to live for a dirt cheap rate. Cannot be quantified monetarily for cap reasons.
I am surprised this hasn't happened yet in sport.
Kessel lived by a hotdog stand.
Not joking, but I actually saw him one snowy day with a Pizza Pizza bag a few years ago on Bay at College Park. I think that's where his condo was, so it makes sense. Not a fat joke, everyone eats 'za.Bozak, Bernier, Komarov, Jonas Valenciunas, and former leaf Matthias all reside in trump tower. Kadri lives out by exhibition in a condo at Bathurst and lakeshore.

I believe the Nylanders live together
Conner Brown stays with his parents too.
Why wouldn't Hyman too, though he does have University life under him.
to support them ?Why the hell would a professional athlete live with their parents?
to support them ?
you assume all parents of professional athletes are swimming in money
some people actually care for their parents or family household
just saying
Salming and Sittler lived in the High Park area back in the day.
You have to be a millionaire to live in the downtown-ish neighborhoods in Toronto anyway. The young kids seem to live in the condos around the ACC, but I imagine if and when the team has those long standing veteran again, you'll see them in Forest Hill, the Bridle Path and those kids of places again.
From 24/7 it wasn't very hard to figure out where he lived, it was pretty obvious it was the Avenue Condos if your familiar with Forrest Hill. I'm sure they live all over the place, Sundin lived on Russell Hiil Rd, then Oakville, Cujo in the burbs (King City specifically), Tucker, Corson, Thomas and Roberts in Lawrence Park. Due to the location of our practice facility, it seems most guys live in the condo's in Liberty Village/western parts of Harborfront, between the ACC and our practice facilities. Almost all the Jays live in the condos around the dome and live elsewhere in the off-season, probably the same for most Raptors but some may have moved further west due to the practice facility being moved to the ex grounds.When Phaneuf signed his contract it was at the Leafs Hotel in Ann Arbor.
Makes sense to own and pay down a mortgage over just renting, these guys easily have enough money to do that.you don't have to be a millionaire to rent; i can't imagine anyone on the current roster would buy a place to live in
