After reflecting over the weekend, Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' trade deadline.

Later, they discuss Oliver Ekman-Larsson's comments following the trade deadline, ways to improve the deadline, and what to expect from the Leafs down the home stretch.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour alongside Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs GM and friend of the show! They discuss Toronto's trade deadline moves, who deserves blame for the team's disappointing season, and Scott Laughton and Nic Roy both scoring in their debuts. They also debate the team's roster deployment under coach Craig Berube, concerns around Oliver Ekman-Larsson's deadline situation, and what the team has left to play for this season. The conversation then shifts to the surging Buffalo Sabres and the state of the Atlantic Division. After the break, they revisit comments from Elliotte Friedman about the future of Auston Matthews in Toronto, and share their view on if he would ever leave the franchise, the influence he holds within the organization, and the growing scrutiny surrounding his recent play.

Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving joins the show to recap his team's trade deadline, the club's approach in keeping Oliver Ekman-Larsson on their roster, and his assessment of Craig Berube and Auston Matthews this season.

A relatively quiet trade deadline was highlighted by the surprising move of longtime Capital John Carlson to Anaheim, where the Ducks leaned further into building an offensive identity. Calgary GM Craig Conroy provided late day drama by sending Nazem Kadri back to Colorado as he chases another Stanley Cup. The Flames also moved Mackenzie Weegar earlier in the week and now sit on a large stockpile of draft picks as they rebuild with a new arena waiting in the wings. Several notable names stayed put, including Robert Thomas in St. Louis and Colton Parayko who declined a trade to Buffalo. Nashville’s Ryan O’Reilly and Steven Stamkos, and goalies Sergei Bobrovsky and Jordan Binnington also stayed with their current teams despite the rumour mill. Toronto sold off pieces like Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and Nic Roy while keeping Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Montreal held firm despite exploring a bigger hockey deal as their young playoff window opens. Edmonton added Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson earlier in the week, but with Colorado loading up and Dallas and Minnesota looming, whoever survives the Pacific could still face a Western Conference buzzsaw.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then, former NHL head coach, general manager and president Doug MacLean (28:52) stops by to share his takeaways from the deadline, why Anaheim Ducks look to compete for a deep run into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Washington Capitals moving on from John Carlson, the unknowns surrounding the Vancouver Canucks' future, and who's poised to improve with the remaining games left.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Brian Burke to break down the state of the Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Burke weighs in on Toronto's handling of rookie Easton Cowan and explains what typically happens behind the scenes between a GM and coach during deadline week. The conversation stems from Craig Berube telling reporters there would be no “roster management” scratches—only for Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson to sit out against the New Jersey Devils hours later.Burke says he's stunned the Leafs find themselves in this position—potential sellers for the first time in a decade—and admits he's puzzled by the team's lack of intensity. He places the blame squarely on the players, not Berube. Burke also outlines what his deadline strategy would be, including maximizing the return on Ekman-Larsson and potentially moving Laughton and McMann if the price isn't met.Plus, Burke weighs in on the big questions surrounding the roster—whether he'd ever consider moving Auston Matthews or William Nylander, why Matthews is a hard no, and why he'd at least listen on Nylander. He also defends Morgan Rielly, saying the market has unfairly turned on him, before giving his honest assessment on whether this Leafs team can turn things around quickly.
