About this episode
Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs' draft decisions and the scrutiny surrounding Auston Matthews amidst playoff discussions.

Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti examine betting markets making McKenna a lock at first overall, but insiders argue nearly six prospects have a real shot at No. 1. Mike and Dave dive into conversations they've had about Mitch Marner’s playoff heroics in Vegas which has brought upon scrutiny of Auston Matthews’ role and Toronto’s management of star players. The episode also spotlights the latest NHL coaching carousel drama, with Mike Babcock’s surprising link to the Edmonton Oilers sparking controversy
