Deadline Day Takeaways

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert continue recapping the NHL Trade Deadline, beginning with Sportsnet's Jason Bukala (0:20). The trio review whether the Toronto Maple Leafs improved enough by adding Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo, why Brad Treliving was comfortable subtracting Fraser Minten while holding onto Easton Cowan, Jake Walman's impact on the Edmonton Oilers blueline, why Logan Stankoven will soften the blow of the Carolina Hurricanes losing Mikko Rantanen, and the Ottawa Senators' underrated yet effective deadline. Afterwards, Ailish and Justin are joined by Sportsnet's Sam Cosentino (29:45) to dig further into the Senators bringing in Dylan Cozens and Fabian Zetterlund, they debate Ottawa's readiness for a playoff push and the potential of Mikko Rantanen's Dallas Stars taking on his former squad in the Colorado Avalanche this postseason. The show comes to a close with Ailish and Justin's deadline takeaways, including the Winnipeg Jets and Washington Capitals deciding to opt for a quieter deadline.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.
