Should the Maple Leafs trade Matthew Knies?

About this episode

The episode discusses the Maple Leafs' coaching search and trade considerations involving Matthew Knies and other players.

The Maple Leafs are in the final phase of the search for a new head coach, with five candidates remaining. Jonas and James wonder if the Leafs should just wait until Bruce Cassidy is free and clear of the Vegas Golden Knights. They discuss the trade that wasn't, involving Matthew Knies to Montreal, and if the Leafs should go after Dylan Larkin? They talk about Max Domi's health, the success of Mitch Marner in the Stanley Cup Final, how Mike Babcock will fit in as the coach of the Edmonton Oilers and they remember former General Manager Cliff Fletcher who passed away at the age of 90 last week.
