About this episode

The episode discusses the Toronto Maple Leafs' trade possibilities and player values following a disappointing season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs shake up the NHL rumor mill, signaling they're "open for business" with only Auston Matthews deemed untouchable. Could a blockbuster trade reshape the roster? Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down Chris Johnston’s insider report, explore Matthew Knies’ soaring trade value, and debate whether a larger retooling is on the horizon for the Maple Leafs. With speculation swirling around William Nylander, Jake McCabe, and Morgan Rielly, no name is safe as the Leafs search for answers after a disappointing season. The conversation pivots to former GM Brad Treliving’s candid remarks about the team's lack of buy-in and questions surrounding coaching changes, including Derek Lalonde getting an interview for the head coach job. Plus, the Toronto Marlies suffer a tough loss in the playoffs, and the Vegas Golden Knights thrive again with Mitch Marner in the postseason
