Darren Dreger

He's been looking pretty much all season long and drifting back into the offseason.

And you're right, Brian.

I mean, when you look at how they've been able to keep this group basically together with duct tape, again, I repeat, Oliver Ekman-Larsen has been one of their mainstays, shifting sides, playing in the cave, you know, all of that.

My understanding on TANF, just to bring you fully up to speed there as well, man, he's working at it.

You know, this guy is trying to get to a place where he can return.

Now, there's no guarantee that he's going to be able to do that.

Far from a guarantee.

He's already been out long term, but it's something that we're going to have to continue to monitor.

In the meantime, Tree Living Pierre continues to kick tires, as we know, like most general managers looking across the market, in fact, scouring the market for some help on that blue line.

No, I also wonder, too.

Yeah.

You know, it gets a little bit more complicated, too, for the Maple Leafs.

Like, you know, we just saw Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks go to the San Jose Sharks for a couple of second-round draft picks and an American League defenseman, 25-year-old, right?

And I think that, you know, there were some mutterings by Leaf fans, well...

Kiefer Sherwood's a nice player.

Like, you know, as a rental, like, why wouldn't you give that some thought?

Well, the problem with that is, you know, again, some of the trades that were made prior to Tree Living arriving in Toronto are still haunting this team from a draft pick perspective.

So second-round picks are actually valued.

And then you do have to look at what your business is moving forward.

What do we think Bobby McMahon is going to get on a contract extension?
