Nick Alberga and David Pagnotta break down another massive week in Leafs Nation with Senior Writer from The Fourth Period, Dennis Bernstein.
To start, they dive into Toronto's stunning sign-and-trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning for Darren Raddysh. Bernstein explains why he likes the move, why the 8-year, $68 million contract doesn't bother him, and what realistic offensive expectations should be for the Toronto native moving forward.
The conversation then shifts to Morgan Rielly's future with the Maple Leafs, with Bernstein suggesting Anaheim as a potential landing spot if Toronto decides to explore a move.
From there, the guys discuss Matthew Knies and why trading the young winger makes little sense unless the Leafs are blown away by a king's ransom offer.
Finally, Bernstein weighs in on the hiring of Jim Hiller as head coach. Having covered Hiller during his time with the Kings, Bernstein admits he was surprised by the hire, discusses the analytics connection with John Chayka, and explains why he still has plenty of questions about how it'll all play out in Toronto.
