About this episode
As the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to spiral, can a West Coast road trip save their season? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti examine management’s hesitancy to make bold roster decisions, and question if Brad Treliving has what it takes to steer the franchise out of the “mushy middle.” They also look at the complication that the Leafs face with a "tear it down" rebuild that some are suggesting they should do.With the Leafs sitting 23rd in points percentage and a depleted defensive corps allowing league-worst numbers, is it finally time for Toronto to rebuild? Mike and Dave look more closely at possible trade chips and whether it will be tough to move stars with no-move clauses.Everydayer Club: If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
