They talk about Max Domi's health, the success of Mitch Marner in the Stanley Cup Final, how Mike Babcock will fit in as the coach of the Edmonton Oilers and they remember former General Manager Cliff Fletcher who passed away at the age of 90 last week.

April 30 Is John Chayka really the best option to guide the Maple Leafs?
With news trickling out about the hiring of a new Maple Leafs management team, Jonas and James discuss the shocking decision by the franchise to reportedly hire John Chayka as the next General Manager, and Mats Sundin as team president. They talk about Tie Domi's involvement in the decision, the possible conflict of interest in hiring Chayka as he is represented by the firm hired by MLSE to look for a new Hockey operations leader. Is Chayka, who has been out of the league for 5 years, and has had a checkered past and an iffy track record as GM of the Arizona Coyotes the best that Keith Pelley could do? Is the legendary Mats Sundin, who has been out of the game and in Europe for the past 17 years qualified to run and right this ship? What will Auston Matthews think? Will Pelley be able to get buy-in from a frustrated fanbase and the media?
