JD reacts to the Toronto Maple Leafs blowing a 3-0 lead, but holding on for a shootout win against Utah HC last night. Then, the conversation shifts to the NFL with James Palmer, senior reporter for Underdog and insider at Bleacher Report (11:45). JD and James discuss the quarterback market, Sam Darnold's fit with the Seattle Seahawks, the Pittsburgh Steelers' and Mike Tomlin's pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, why the Houston Texans moved on from offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, and which teams have impressed most with their offseason transactions. Then, Sportsnet's Jason Bukala joins (51:40) JD to discuss Leafs captain Auston Matthews continuing to look 'off', Toronto emptying the cupboard of future assets including prospects Nikita Grebenkin and Fraser Minten, and a shift in draft philosophy under Mark Leach in his first year as Leafs' Director of Amateur Scouting. Afterwards, JD and the producers close out the show with What We Missed.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
