Wear podcaster with pride.

Considering what's happened to radio in the last 20 years.

Let me ask you this.

Let me try to make this point, see if it lands with you.

With all the moves the Maple Leafs have made,

Starting with the John Chayka hiring and then Hiller and the Joe Wall trade and now the Darren Radish signing.

What's intriguing about it is whether you're pro move or anti move for all of these, there's a protein shake here for everybody.

Like right now, because we're still living in the world of speculation.

We don't know how this is all going to work out.

But there's enough for everybody to be able to make a statement, either pro or con, about all of these moves and for all of them to stand up right now before a puck has been dropped.

Like nothing is overwhelmingly positive.

Nothing is overwhelmingly negative.

A ball hasn't left the yard and no one has slumped shoulders walking back to the dugout after looking at a called third strike.

You know what I mean?

Like there's enough here for everybody to go like, no, this is what I think about this one and here are my reasons why.

You can't win the Stanley Cup with Steve Iserman.

You can't win the Stanley Cup with Alexander Ovechkin.

You can't win the Stanley Cup with Sebastian Ajo.

History is riddled with all of this.

Speaking of coaches, Colby Cohen has a great saying.
