Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the Leafs' loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night, takeaways from seeing Connor Bedard up close and how his media availability has radically changed since Taylor Hall's comments. They continue with a look at the Leafs' defensive pairs, a wrinkle in the goalie battle and how Matthew Knies might fit on the top line. With William Nylander's impressive start, they get into how his extension might look and how the Leafs can maximize their negotiations (40:07).
