Ben and JD discuss the Maple Leafs’ acquisition of Nick Foligno and Toronto’s busy weekend on the trade market. Sportsnet NHL Insider Chris Johnston weighs in on the acquisition cost for Foligno, the addition of David Rittich, and the team’s desire to make additional moves ahead of the 3pm trade deadline. Justin Bourne, co-host of Hockey Central, stops by to chat about Foligno’s fit in the Leafs’ lineup, Riley Nash being an insurance policy in the bottom six, and evolution of Kyle Dubas’ team-building philosophy. Kevin Bieksa, former NHL defenceman and current Sportsnet analyst, chimes in on the Leafs’ moves and the team’s current blue line depth.
