Marner Madness & Inside the Leafs' Deadline w/ James Mirtle + Fitting in Trade Adds, Winners and Losers w/ Kris Versteeg

JD reacts to reports of Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner being approached to waive his no-move clause during trade talks with the Carolina Hurricanes. The conversation continues with The Athletic's James Mirtle (10:45) as together, they dissect what Toronto being in on Mikko Rantanen tells us about contract negotiations with Mitch Marner, what factors into the discussion beyond money, and first impressions on Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo. Then, JD addresses the Toronto Raptors flirting with a record that could take them out of a prime draft position in Stats You Should Know. Afterwards, two-time Stanley Cup Champ Kris Versteeg joins the show (50:45) to reflect on his experience being traded on deadline, the challenge for Laughton and Carlo acclimate in the middle of a divisional playoff race, the argument for Laughton to play up and down the lineup, if the Colorado Avalanche had the best deadline, and the surprising breakup between the Boston Bruins and Brad Marchand. JD and the producers close out the show with What We Missed.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.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
