Chayka, Leafs Make A Splash | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on with one of the loaded episodes of the summer as Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen dig into the first major trade of John Chayka's tenure as Maple Leafs GM, sending Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae and a third-round pick. Nick Alberga joins the show to break down what the deal says about Chayka's approach so far, where the Leafs' head coaching search stands now that Western Michigan's Pat Ferschweiler has emerged as a real candidate alongside Patrick Roy, Joe Pavelski and Dallas Eakins, and why Mitch Marner's quiet finish in a losing Stanley Cup Final effort for Vegas has reignited all the old questions out of Toronto.

Then Kevin Kurz hops on to give the Philly side of the Woll trade, what a genuinely trustworthy goaltending tandem with Dan Vladar means for a team that hasn't had that luxury in years, and where expectations sit for the Flyers this offseason. He and the guys also get into the swirling trade rumors around Darnell Nurse, whether Owen Tippett could be the one to move first, and if Rasmus Ristolainen is finally getting moved out of Philadelphia after surviving the deadline.

To wrap things up, Mike Bartner stops by for some hypothetical fun, from picking the Leafs' next head coach off the board to bold predictions on which team makes the biggest surprise leap next season.

From a major trade shaking up two franchises to coaching carousels and offseason what-ifs, the guys cover it all with insight, analysis and plenty of strong opinions.
