About this episode
The episode discusses the Toronto Maple Leafs' surprising hiring of Daniel Alfredsson as an associate coach and the implications of Mitch Marner's departure.
The Toronto Maple Leafs made one of the most surprising hires of the NHL offseason, bringing Ottawa Senators legend Daniel Alfredsson aboard as an associate coach under Jim Hiller. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti break down why the hire happened, what Alfredsson brings to Toronto's coaching staff, and how Senators fans are reacting to one of the biggest rival moves in recent memory. Plus, former Leafs head coach Craig Berube shares why losing Mitch Marner was about much more than points, revealing that Toronto lost its emotional leader when Marner departed. The guys discuss whether Matthew Knies, Gavin McKenna, or someone else can fill that leadership void heading into the 2026-27 season.
