There was a blockbuster deal involving a Toronto Maple Leafs division rival. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on the Florida Panthers trading for Matthew Tkachuk and why the Calgary Flames did well to get Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar in return (2:15). Is Florida a better team after making this trade given what they had to give up and how the rest of the team looks (6:45)?
There was a ranking put together by @JFreshHockey (on twitter) based on a fan survey that looked at the top NHL defencemen who played at least 18 minutes a night in the league (16:00). Mike and Dave look at where the top Leafs defenceman falls on the list and whether it was an appropriate spot (17:40). They also discuss if T.J. Brodie should have been ranked higher based on what he does for the Leafs (18:45). Looking at the rest of the list, Mike and Dave see how the rest of the league plays out including some surprises, players ranked higher or lower than they should (23:20).
