Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin the show by continuing the conversation around the uncertainty of Auston Matthews' future with the Maple Leafs, then get into Toronto's 4-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, which one player would be replaced on the defensive pairings, and how the group has bought in on performing better on defence. Former NHL executive and Sportsnet hockey analyst Mike Futa (42:09) weighs in on which area on the Leafs roster they should be upgrading, if Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov are the future goaltending tandem, and his assessment of Matthew Knies within Toronto's prospect system. Then, senior columnist from Sportsnet Eric Francis (1:07:04) jumps on to discuss Matthew Tkachuk's return to Calgary for the first time since being traded to Florida, Flames' struggling on offence, and how can head coach Darryl Sutter help turn their season around.

A Knies Addition for the Leafs: Kyper, Bourne and Producer Sam open with a chat about the Lightning's acquisition of Brandon Hagel from Chicago, the likelihood of the Panthers adding Claude Giroux, where Andrew Copp might end up, and whether the Leafs adding Marc-Andre is a possibility (0:30). Next, they discuss Toronto's win over the Hurricanes, Erik Källgren's outing, the play of the team without Auston Matthews, Michael Bunting's performance against Carolina, whether Matthew Knies can make a big impact with the team, and Toronto's penchant for taking bench minors (12:40). Afterwards, Doug MacLean phones in to talk about what's next for Dubas at the deadline, the Hagel deal, Matthew Knies, Källgren's style of play, John Tavares needing support on the second line, and the team's too many men penalty against the Canes (42:55).
