We've got trades in the NHL.

The Leafs have traded Joseph Wall and Simone Benoit.

for a goaltender.

We'll let you speak on it, Noodles.

Yes, Emil Andre is a smaller defenseman, puck-moving defenseman.

He can skate.

He can skate and make plays.

And he hasn't been given the opportunity necessarily in Philly.

I don't know if that was a pocket thing or guys ahead of him that were also not that big, and they didn't want three or four smaller guys on the back end.

And the Leafs get a third-round pick.

So this is the first deal Czajka's made.

And Sundin, right, these are Swedish players coming in.

I think that's an important element of this.

Andre is a Swedish defenseman that, you know, not that Czajka can't scout himself or pick up the phone and call people, but I think the benefit of having Matz is,

And this isn't just exclusive to Swedish players, but Mats can get on the phone with anybody in Sweden, and they will call him back in five seconds flat and give him the goods on what this player is all about.

Who is he?

Where does he come from?

Background, work ethic, what's he all about?

So I think the possible benefit of having Sandin around could be in play here, but this is the first trade of the John Chayka era.

And Morgan Riley's likely on his way out at some point.
