Bolts Give Buds A Reality Check

from Leafs Talk Hosted by Sportsnet

The Toronto Maple Leafs return from the NHL's Olympic break with a 4-2 loss to the Lightning in Tampa Bay. JD Bunkis and Sam McKee break down the game and discuss why the Leafs must be sellers at the trade deadline and how the Lightning have outpaced Toronto in player development. Then, they dive deeper into the game and discuss Auston Matthews' play after being rushed back from D.C., Matthew Knies regaining some pace, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson continuing to elevate his trade value.
