August 17 Toronto Maple Leafs | John Chayka Summer Spotlight | Auston Matthews' Health and What's Next
Our Toronto Maple Leafs Summer Spotlight Series rolls on with Leafs GM John Chayka headlining today's episode. We revisit the tumultuous end to last season, which led to Brad Treliving's dismissal, Chayka's hiring and the subsequent disastrous introductory press conference, all the way through to landing the first overall pick and the impressive offseason that followed. From there we get into his pairing with Mats Sundin, managing ownership, the fans and media, and where Auston Matthews' health fits into all of it, since that and his play will ultimately dictate where the organization goes from here.

August 05 Toronto Maple Leafs | Sergei Bobrovsky Spotlight | Comparing the Leafs to the Blue Jays
Our Toronto Maple Leafs Summer Spotlight Series rolls on as we discuss arguably the most intriguing offseason addition of them all, Sergei Bobrovsky. Was last season a one-off or a sign of things to come? Can he lead the Leafs back to the playoffs, and does his addition to the dressing room make a difference? Is it fair to expect 50+ starts from a soon-to-be 38-year-old goalie? We discuss all that and much more.

Our Toronto Maple Leafs Summer Spotlight Series rolls into its 4th instalment as we turn our attention to John Tavares. Is there a way to make him a better fit within this roster given where he's at in his career? Will the new regime of John Chayka, Mats Sundin and Jim Hiller help get more out of him?
