Deadline Goals in Toronto with David Amber

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the second hour discussing what a successful trade deadline might look like for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They outline the many possibilities of moving pending UFAs, restocking the prospect pool, or extending Bobby McMann or Scott Laughton. They also consider how Colton Parayko vetoing a trade might hint at how situations like Morgan Rielly’s could unfold and whether the pressures of playing in Toronto differ from other markets. Later, they welcome Sportsnet’s David Amber (28:10) to share some of his favourite trade deadline memories. D.A. discusses how busy this year’s deadline could be across the league, whether teams will prioritize volume over marquee names, potential sell-offs, Parayko turning down a move to Buffalo, and the value of acquiring a goalie. The hour wraps up with a look at the biggest issue facing the Oilers as they head into the stretch run.
