Real Kyper & Bourne

Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Linus Ullmark on the verge of returning with him backing up James Reimer against the Colorado Avalanche, the conflicting departments between the sport science staff and coaching staff on an NHL club, Ondřej Palát's strong debut with the New York Islanders, and Barry Trotz speaking on Ryan O'Reilly's future with the Nashville Predators.

They discuss the disappointing, winless homestand, the team's regression from last season, Craig Berube's fiery postgame comments, and another rough game for Joseph Woll.

Later, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss whether the Leafs should aim to bottom out so they can retain the Top-5 protected pick they traded to Boston, and the players that should be moved if they do retool.
