They also preview a pivotal Game 5 of the AHL Eastern Conference Final as the Toronto Marlies continue their battle with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.On the Leafs front, the boys debate whether Toronto should make a play for Dylan Larkin after reports surfaced that the 29-year-old All-Star centre has requested a trade out of Detroit. Plus, David Pagnotta dropped a bombshell on Thursday afternoon, revealing that the Maple Leafs had a trade framework in place with Montreal prior to the deadline involving Matthew Knies. The proposed package reportedly included Alexander Zharovsky, another prospect, and two first-round picks before the deal ultimately fell apart due to "complications." Nick and Rosie break down the stunning revelation and discuss what it could have meant for the future of the franchise.They also sift through all the latest news and notes from the NHL Draft Combine in Buffalo, including what they're hearing as the Leafs prepare to make the first overall selection later this month.Meantime, Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Pronger stops by to weigh in on the Stanley Cup Final, Toronto's coaching search, the Leafs' offseason outlook, and all the chaos surrounding the organization.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Hall of Fame defenceman Chris Pronger for a jam-packed interview.To kick things off, Pronger weighs in on Dylan Larkin's reported desire to leave Detroit and discusses potential landing spots for the 29-year-old star centre. While he sees a fit in Toronto, Montreal, and several other markets, Pronger stresses that acquiring a player of Larkin's calibre would come at a significant cost—especially in a weak free-agent class.From there, Pronger reflects on his experience interviewing for the Maple Leafs' President role and shares his thoughts on the direction of the organization under John Chayka. He believes winning the draft lottery was a massive boost and likes several of the moves the Leafs have made since Chayka took over.The conversation then shifts to David Pagnotta's report that Toronto and Montreal had a Matthew Knies trade completed at the deadline before complications prevented it from being finalized. Pronger isn't convinced the Leafs were getting enough value in the reported package and cautions against moving a player like Knies unless the organization is committing to a full-scale rebuild. In his view, if you're trading Knies, you need proven NHL talent coming back—not just futures.Pronger also discusses Auston Matthews' influence on the franchise moving forward, suggesting the Leafs likely have two separate long-term plans: one with Matthews and one without him. Plus, he weighs in on what Toronto should do with the No. 1 overall pick, the ongoing coaching search, and whether he believes the Leafs can get back into the Stanley Cup Playoff picture next season.

Brenden Escott and The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta dive into a series full of controversy, momentum swings and mounting pressure. A questionable goal call takes center stage as we try to make sense of how officials ruled it a good goal despite inconclusive evidence—and why the lack of transparency continues to frustrate. From there, the focus shifts to the Oilers as a whole, who have shown flashes of strong starts but can't seem to hold onto a lead, now surrendering it in four straight games. What's behind the trend, and how concerning is it as the series wears on? Goaltending becomes a major talking point as well, with a debate brewing over who should get the crease: Connor Ingram or Tristan Jarry. We break down both options and what the decision could signal. Special teams are another glaring issue, particularly Edmonton's penalty kill, which has been picked apart by Anaheim's red-hot power play clicking at a staggering 6-for-12. What are the Ducks doing so well, and why can't the Oilers adjust? Finally, we wrap with a look around the league as two teams—Ottawa and Los Angeles—bow out of the first round. It's the end of the line for a pair of seasons, and in L.A. the end of an era, as Anze Kopitar skates off into retirement on home ice in front of the Kings faithful.
