Leafs Hour: Early Playoff Outlook

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee are back after a brief break for the NBA trade deadline. They start with the Leafs' win over the Stars on Wednesday night, the passion of the McCabe/Benoit pairing, overreliance on the stars and Samsonov's worrying performance. Then, a chat about Brad Treliving's top priorities ahead of the deadline and Tavares' 5-on-5 struggles. They are joined by former GM Gord Stellick (30:18), who weighs in on what an ideal deadline looks like for the Leafs, where they can get a boost internally and which players can be relied on to turn their underwhelming seasons around in the playoffs.
