Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Sportsnet’s Eric Francis, as they discuss the Flames' loss to the “glorified AHL team” that was the Chicago Blackhawks yesterday afternoon. The pair chat about Calgary's four-game road trip, how the team can make room for Dustin Wolf, the latest on Noah Hanifin, and Jonathan Huberdeau’s slow but steady improvement as of late. Next, Producer Matt Marchese joins Jeff to break down William Nylander's contract extension, the Maple Leafs' contract decisions on the horizon, Connor Bedard’s injury, and more (18:50). Later, we go live to Toronto's practice facility and hear from the man himself, William Nylander, as well as Leafs GM Brad Treliving (50:00). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
