In this episode of the #1-ranked podcast in women’s hockey, as recognized by Feedspot, we dive into the biggest questions facing the Toronto Maple Leafs this offseason. With Mitch Marner’s departure all but sealed, we explore how his potential exit could reshape the team's identity—and what that could mean for John Tavares.
We are also joined by Leafs beat reporter David Alter of The Hockey News, who shares his insight on playoff-tested rosters and the crucial role older, experienced players play when the stakes are highest. From creative contracts and free agency strategies to what it really takes for rookies to earn a spot, this episode is a must-listen for any Leafs fan bracing for big changes. Plus, as a special treat, David shares his "best of" media meals that fuel the press box from his popular TikTok.
To wrap up the show we discuss the surprising retirement announcement from Joe Bowen, voice of the Leafs and touch on the enduring legacy of hockey broadcasters, as well as how listener support helps sports podcasts like ours thrive.
We are heading into an offseason that will shake up the Leafs roster in ways we likely haven't seen for almost a decade! Our show will be moving to the Patio soon, but when the news breaks we'll have you covered with great guests, the latest news and more all summer long! Be sure to subscribe to stay in the loop. Go Leafs Go!
