TSN Hockey Analyst Craig Button joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down a statement win for the Maple Leafs in Denver, as Toronto’s 4–3 overtime victory snapped Colorado’s 17-game home winning streak. Craig explained what a win like that says about the Leafs and what’s changed during their impressive 10-game point streak.

With Toronto back in a playoff spot for the first time since November 7, Craig shared how he’ll be viewing this team moving forward. He also weighed in on Brad Treliving and what the Leafs’ biggest needs are ahead of the trade deadline — pointing to an offensive defenceman as the top priority. That led to a discussion about Dougie Hamilton, and Craig didn’t hesitate when asked if Hamilton would be a fit in Toronto: “Unquestionably yes.”

To wrap things up, Craig offered his thoughts on the progression of Easton Cowan and the development of Ben Danford.
