James Mirtle on Matthews' Future, Bobrovsky Buzz, Raddysh & Toronto's Risky Bet

The Athletic's James Mirtle joins Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill to break down the biggest storylines surrounding the Maple Leafs as draft week begins.

The conversation starts with the blockbuster Brady Tkachuk trade to Florida and what lessons the Leafs can learn from how things unraveled in Ottawa. Mirtle discusses Auston Matthews' future in Toronto, why maintaining an open dialogue with his camp is crucial, and whether the Leafs can do enough to convince their captain that they're built to contend.

The boys also dive into the Matthew Knies trade rumours, why his name continues to surface in speculation, and the risks of involving a young cornerstone player in trade talks. Plus, Mirtle shares his thoughts on the Sergei Bobrovsky rumours, the Leafs' aggressive sign-and-trade for Darren Raddysh, and whether Toronto's recent moves signal an all-in approach to the next few seasons.
