In Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert's weekly visit with Frank Seravalli (1:49), we look at the quiet success of the Jets and how they did it, a bizarre retirement story about Nolan Patrick and why Martin Jones is more than capable of being the Leafs' backup than Samsonov. Later, Jake Fischer (25:31) of Yahoo! looks around the NBA with a specific focus on the Raptors roster, why it clearly is not working and if the team has shown their cards ahead of the deadline. Then, why a weak draft class will impact trades and why it can help the Raptors.
