You have Matthew Nyes.

You have some really, really good pieces.

I think it's a risk worth making and taking and.

I can't come out here and suggest that he's going to get 70 points and 22 goals next season.

But I think if he can flirt with 15 goals and 60, 65 points, I think the Maple Leafs are going to be in a really good position.

Because let's not forget, they've been coveting a right-handed shooting defenseman who can run the first power play for years.

They thought maybe they had that guy in John Klingberg.

But I mean, at that point in Klingberg's career, he was nothing.

Yeah, he wasn't the guy that they're getting right now.

And Darren Radice, the year he's having or had, I should say,

with Tampa.

So definitely some risk, but I think nervous excitement is the way the fan base is probably looking at it right now.

I think the writing has to be on the wall just from a minute standpoint.

You look at that blue line, it's getting pretty busy quickly.

Like I fully comprehend and I acknowledge that I think there's a lot still to be done with that blue line, even with Emile Andre coming in the other day.

And now you add Darren Radish.

I wonder about Brandon Carlo moving forward.

He's one year away from UFA status long term.

I'm not sure he fits with this current regime.

Morgan Riley, McCabe, OEL, like there's some pretty good players.
