and and Matthew’s with you but before we just get off the goal tending the the star’s injury we know where you feel about Joseph wall but did stoler’s injury now completely change the management mindset because we went into the season even prior to training camp thinking that it’s Joseph Wall’s net and stolar will be there to back him up and then stolar goes uh a house of on fire and gets hurt but is the fact now that he’s hurt and and and the the history of the knees have come up and like where are you now moving forward let’s say a month from now yeah now you’re now I’m trying to like Google remedies for dry heaving now I’m thinking about it I don’t know you’re getting now you’re making me nervous that was always the concern like not just with like that that was the concern coming into the season with you know the Leaf’s entire tending picture picture can they stay healthy um I I think the fact that this latest injury is not related to past injuries is a good thing we don’t know that no I I you try to take I’m I’m catching myself here I was about to say you try to take the leavs and their injury stuff at face value but that’s been kind of a a messy road to walk down lately I I I think they had always wanted this to be you’re right they had wanted this to be Joseph Wall’s net um he still it comes back to what I said before he still has to prove that he can stay healthy too and that’s kind of unfair to him but um no I I I don’t know if it’s changed much right what has it changed for you what do it changed for you guys uh yeah it does change for me uh a little bit uh I’d rather deal with Joseph walls injury history than stolar stolar is makes me 10 times more nervous than Joseph walls yeah I I think the thing that that see that that gets me with Anthony stol Arts though is like a lot about his injuries some of them the second one in particular uh was literally just a freak knee injury like he was telling me that and it sounds strange but like he was in his truck and his leg just turned and he was like oh doesn’t feel right uh whereas I think with Joseph wall he literally they had concerns about what he was doing in the offseason was he taking not was he taking care of his body in the right way but were there things he could do to better prepare himself and his muscles his body you know in the game so maybe that’s why I’m not as concerned I don’t know it’s injuries goalies it’s it’s funny it’s not just goalies it’s McMahon and it’s Matthews and it’s Pat and there’s like some concerns in this team I love it when it is functional they’re all day to day don’t worry about true I don’t know why you’re getting concerned it’s day to day nothing to see here day to day um day to day so the big boys get thrown together for a full hockey game according to sport logic uh last time it had happened was in 2020 according to William neander it had never happened for a full game before what are your thoughts on them finally trying it for a game and I don’t know maybe it going imperfectly and what that means now I mean my thoughts are don’t consult William neander for for history oh God that’s a great Point like you know William neander uh yeah anyway I don’t like it I don’t like it at all you know I I think back to the the 2020 Series against Columbus where Sheldon did it a few times and this he was trying to win games late but it always felt like a desperate ation play more than anything else that’s what and I’m not saying that’s what it was last night but like do you need to do this like what what what’s your endgame here because you’re not going to do this for the rest of the season you’re not gonna do this in the playoffs when Sheldon did it against the Blue Jackets is you know it was we’re down we have to win these games to for for people to keep their jobs and that’s the way it felt to me then and now like it’s so if you’re if you’re down in game seven against whoever it ends up being this year maybe you you try it but I just think now I was about to say I I feel like it sets the rest of the the four lines back but the third line last night proved me wrong but like why you’re not going to do it in game one against Tampa why are you doing it now what are you hoping to learn what are you hoping to get that that you you wouldn’t get otherwise are you trying to to do it to give Matthew some juice because like let’s call a spade Spade he does it doesn’t look like he’s got it right now right but if you there’s other ways to do that I just I I think it sets the rest of the the four lines back I don’t know and I think the numbers kind of bear that out early in the show we gave our thoughts on on what we see from from Austin tell us what you see tell us what’s missing tell us where is uh the second best player in the world he looks like someone like me that’s like I I’ve got a lot of Christmas shopping to do I’ve got some stories to finish uh my like various parts of my body are hurting because I’m on the wrong side of 40 like he looks like he’s wearing a lot right now so let’s just get through this he looks like he he looks like he is is being pulled in different directions uh mentally and maybe that’s too deep a read on it but I wonder if there’s something nagging him uh injury like it just he he looked like he was slower than normal last night I mean the the the back check on the one goal like doesn’t that get other players benched for you know a few shifts right like doesn’t that effort doesn’t that kind of effort get a fourth liner you know stapled to the bench for the rest of the period I I don’t know um you would think like normally with scorers it’s like once they get one the floodgates open but he’s being asked to do multiple different things he’s not just a scorer uh all I it’s an easy way but sometimes like the the right answer is is the easiest one like just looks like he’s carrying a little something some kind of injury or some kind of ache because he’s not spry and when he’s not spry it’s it’s very noticeable Josh we only got a a quick minute here but uh you got to ask about the third line and whether or not the last two games on the third line would give you the belief that all things being equal through the trade deadline you could start them all together in the playoffs you could start that third line together in the playoffs if you accept that defensively you might get CED in and you just better hope that that’s not a that’s I don’t really want to start my playoff run with we may get caved in I wouldn’t like yeah but then you hope that like Max doy is his best self and and him and Nick Robertson find the kind of chemistry that you think passers and shoo would have but no like what what do you what do you expect like you’re gonna show me Nick Robertson doesn’t scream defensive stability to me but if you accept if you accept that you hope it gets you some goals at the other end then but again Craig buub doesn’t strike me as someone that would be a lot of fun in Vegas he’s not a gambler right so I don’t know if I don’t know if it’s going to stick um but it builds Nick Robertson do it because like he’s hanging on for dear life and I don’t know I like what’s where’s the trade value what what are you really gonna get from so you you you’re best off to me to just like keep trying to get a goal here and there out of them because like that that might be your only option right now I I proposed to Jim nil the other day just trade him for your brother straight up because Jason ain’t doing a whole lot better right now in Dallas why didn’t I think of that that’s there you go Joshua great stuff man thanks for joining us really appreciate it yeah take care guys thanks cloak yeah um josa clo athletic if Nick Robertson were to get traded our show would have to fold we would have no content so I think for no other reason if you talk about the big three on the Leafs now you could claim that that is the most expensive line in NHL history yeah well it is currently the most expensive one so logically it would carry out that ever ever this is the most expensive line in the history of hockey history of the game Leafs facing Center crisis amid injuries eyeing trade market for Solutions as the Toronto Maple Leafs battle through a growing injury list and a suspension their lack of depth at the center position has become a glaring issue according to sports Net’s Elliot Friedman in his latest 32 thoughts article the Leafs are among the teams exploring trade options to bolster their lineup this effort is coming amid increasing competition from teams like the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators who have also set their sights on improving their Center depth fredman didn’t mince words about the Leaf’s predicament the teams currently focusing on centers including Chicago and Nashville must consider when others will enter the market Toronto will undoubtedly be one of those teams he wrote while the Blackhawks and predators may have an edge in terms of cap space and assets the Leafs remain a team to watch as the season progresses the leaf situation is urgent with up to seven forwards currently unavailable due to injury or suspension Ryan Reeves is serving a five-game suspension while key players like Austin Matthews upper body Matthew KES upperbody Caye jro groin / sports hernia David Camp lower body Max doy lower body and Max posio lower body are all sidelined the team has even considered temporarily shifting Mitch Marner to the center position highlighting the severity of their depth issues this isn’t just a short-term concern for the leaves depth at Center has been a persistent challenge for for the team and while stop Gap Solutions like Marner could help in the interim the front office appears Keen to explore longer term fixes for fans of the blue and white this has been a recurring theme the leaf Center depth often becomes a problem at the worst possible times James Myrtle of the athletic recently added more fuel to the speculation naming several potential trade targets who could help the Leafs address their issues among them is Ryan O’Reilly a familiar name for Toronto fans O’Reilly who signed a 4-year $18 million deal with Nashville in 2023 might be a trade candidate if the Predators underwhelming start to the season 6-1 11-3 31st in the league prompts a rebuild however his steep price tag and history with the Leafs including rejecting a free agency offer less than 2 years ago make this a complex and potentially unlikely move other names mentioned by Myrtle include former Leaf nazam cadri currently with Calgary as well as players like Michael granin Nick jugad Brock Nelson Yanni gourd Trent Frederick rodc foxa and Shan car while some of these options seem more plausible than others it’s clear that general manager Brad TR living will need to get creative to find the right piece without mortgaging the team’s future cap space remains one of the biggest obstacles for the Leafs unlike teams like Chicago and Nashville which have more flexibility and assets Toronto is walking a financial tit Trope as fredman noted competition will intensify as capc constrained teams strive to create room for the Leafs that could mean waiting for the market to develop further a risky move given their current current needs the situation also highlights the Leaf’s ongoing struggle to build a roster that can withstand the grueling nature of an NHL season injuries are an inevitability in hockey but Toronto’s current predicament underscores the importance of depth a quality the team has struggled to consistently maintain looking back on recent years the Leafs have often leaned heavily on their star players particularly Matthews Marner and William nander while these players have delivered in Spades the lack of reliable depth options has left the team vulnerable in critical moments the current crisis at Center is merely the latest example of this recurring issue some fans have called for more aggressive moves from TR living arguing that now is the time to strike while the team’s core is in its prime others however are more cautious pointing to the dangers of overpaying for short-term fixes striking the right balance will be key especially as the Leafs aim to keep their Championship window open despite the challenges there’s no denying that Toronto has the talent to be a contender provided they can patch up their lineup the ongoing rumors and speculations surrounding potential trades show that the Leafs are at least exploring every Avenue to strengthen their roster for fans of the blue and white this moment feels like a pivotal point in the season with a lineup ravaged by injuries and a tough schedule ahead the Leafs must act decisively to avoid falling behind in standings the addition of a Dependable Center could be the difference between weathering the storm or watching another season slip away whether it’s O’Reilly cadri or another surprise name one thing is certain the the Leafs are under pressure to deliver and for a fan base as passionate and loyal as Toronto’s there’s no room for excuses the time to act is now and Leaf’s nation is watching closely as the trade deadline approaches the stakes couldn’t be higher will TR living pull off a move that solidifies the leaf status as a contender or will the search for Center depth become yet another chapter in the team’s long history of Whata ifs only time will tell but one thing’s for sure it’s never boring in Leaf’s land as the Maple Leafs navigate this critical juncture their fan base remains as vocal as ever Toronto is a city that breathes hockey and the pressure on Brad TR living to make the Right Moves is immense every decision he makes or doesn’t make will be scrutinized from talk radio to social media where Leaf’s nation is already debating the merits of the various names being floated as potential trade targets among the louder debates is whether the team should prioritize a high-profile acquisition like Ryan O’Reilly or nazam cadri or focus on a lower cost reliable Center who can fill a supporting role without costing too many future assets while O’Reilly’s leadership and playoff experience make him an attractive option his contract and recent history with the Leaf’s add layers of complexity to any potential reunion similarly cadry’s gritty two-way play style remains a fan favorite but his cap hit and availability might render him an unrealistic Target another Factor complicating the leaf situation is their tight salary cap while Chicago and Nashville can make moves with relative ease due to their financial flexibility Toronto must navigate a Labyrinth of constru restraints to make any trade work this likely means including salary retention or moving existing contracts to make room which could drive up the cost of any potential deal the question then becomes how much are the Leafs willing to sacrifice to address their immediate needs one potential trade partner generating Buzz is the Seattle Kraken Yanni gourd a Dependable two-way Center has been mentioned as a possible Target gourd’s versatility and Championship pedigree from his time with Tampa Bay make him an appealing option Seattle however is in playoff contention and may not be inclined to part with a key piece unless the Leafs can provide a substantial return another intriguing name is Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders Nelson is a consistent scorer and reliable Faceoff man qualities that would undoubtedly bolster Toronto’s Center depth however the Islanders are notoriously cautious when it comes to trades and prying Nelson away would likely require a significant package including picks or prospects that the Leafs may be hesitant to part with for all the trade talk some analysts believe the Sol ution might come from within Sheldon Keefe has shown a willingness to experiment with his lineup and players like pontis homberg or Fraser mton could be given an opportunity to step up while relying on less experienced players carries risks it might be the Leaf’s only option if the trade market proves too costly or slow to develop adding to the Leaf’s urgency is the timing the Atlantic division remains one of the toughest in the league with teams like Boston Florida and Tampa Bay continuing to dominate any prolonged slump could see Toronto slip further down the the standings putting their playoff hopes in Jeopardy for a team with Stanley Cup aspirations failing to address their weaknesses could have catastrophic consequences Brad TR living’s history as a general manager suggests he’s not afraid to make bold moves his time with the Calgary Flames was marked by Blockbuster trades including the acquisition of Jonathan hubero and McKenzie weager in the Matthew kachu deal Leaf’s fans hope he brings that same decisiveness to Toronto especially as the trade deadline looms beyond the immediate need for a center this situation underscores a broader issue with the Leaf’s roster construction depth has been a perennial concern and while Toronto boasts some of the League’s topend Talent their Reliance on a handful of stars has left them vulnerable in moments like this moving forward addressing this imbalance must be a priority for the front office if the team is to achieve sustained success as the Leafs head into a critical stretch of the season the next few weeks could Define their trajectory
