Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee begin with the news that TJ Brodie will hit the IR and what the Leafs will miss in his absence. They are joined by NHL Network's Mike Kelly (21:36) who shares some thoughts and analytics on Auston Matthews' underwhelming goal-scoring pace, Morgan Rielly's struggles and whether or not Calle Järnkrok can be a long-term solution on the second line. Then, Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe joins the show (41:17) and goes deep on the Winnipeg Jets, the reason for this season's turnaround, the Rick Bowness effect and their financial future inspiring more urgency. Later, former NHL pro, agent and GM Brian Lawton of NHL Network discusses the 'buyers market' ahead of the deadline, who the Leafs should target and who may become available (1:03:54). Finally, Kyper, Bourne and Sam play a game of 'Star or Superstar.'
