Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up the morning by welcoming on NHL insider Frank Seravalli! Does Frank think that we see Auston Matthews return soon, and upon his return to the lineup what are reasonable expectations for him carrying this team? Where does Frank think the roster construction went wrong? How far back should we go back to see where it went wrong? Why didn’t the Leafs stars take long term deals like the rest of the stars in the league did? If they can’t turn it around how does Frank see the Leafs approaching the rest of this season? Will they try to salvage it or will they take a half step back for the team to be better in the future? After the break, Ben and Brent are joined by the co-host of Real Kyper and Bourne, Justin Bourne! (25:35) What has Justin made of the slumping Leafs as they are currently constructed? What has gone wrong for them so far this year? Does Justin think they can turn it around? As they get more healthy will they continue to improve? If Craig Berube isn’t going to coach them hard then what is the point of him being the coach? Are we seeing anything differently tactically from Berube and Leafs other than trying harder? And do we need to give the Leafs a chance with a healthy roster. Ben and Brent close out the day with their final thoughts on where the Leafs currently sit.
