Does Matz need new scouting staff?

Who stays, who goes?

Yeah.

But how would he know?

That's the million-dollar question is how can he feel comfortable enough to have a true evaluation of their body of work over however long they've been around and how far you want to go back.

Pritam's been around all 10 years of Brendan Shanahan's world.

Was he not?

Yeah.

So how far would Mats go back to say, hey, what happened here, right?

When we lost, when we gave up a first rounder and it ended up being Seth Jarvis, like what happened?

Okay, let's welcome in Steve Peters, works for ESPN.

He's an analyst for Inside the Coach's Room.

Also been around the Phoenix Coyotes at the time.

Arizona, was the name switch done when you were still there?

So, Steve, obviously with the feel that John Chayka is right at the forefront in all of this for the Toronto Maple Leafs, many around here, including us, are starting to wonder who's John Chayka and what can he bring to the table.

And, you know, let's just start there.

What stands out for you in terms of why the Leafs would be so interested in John Chayka?

You're watching and listening to Steve Peters, NHL ESPN producer.

Also, of course...

You worked for Arizona slash Phoenix under John Chayka.
