Jonas and James check-in from the Leafs California swing to dissect a tough start to the trip and discuss how this season will reflect on the Leafs top players, the role injuries have played in the team's inconsistency and lack of depth, and the idea of splitting up the top two lines to spread out the offence. Plus, what to make of Pierre Engvall's struggles after a hot start, assessing Alexander Kerfoot's play on the Tavares-Nylander line, the goaltending strategy and the team's level of confidence in Frederik Andersen, projecting defensive pairings when Morgan Rielly returns to the lineup, and much more.
