Leafs Hour: Capitals Clash & Trouba Traded

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off by reacting to the Rangers trading Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks, how trading the captain impacts New York's locker room and their next steps. Then, they look ahead to the Leafs' matchup tonight against the Washington Capitals and discuss Jake McCabe's status, Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews sticking together on a line and the schedule picking up. Next, they evaluate Morgan Rielly's play this season. Finally, former NHLer Kris Versteeg (29:32) shares how the Leafs differ from previous years, how they compare to the Cup-winning Blackhawks teams he played for and why they should hold off on a Marner extension until the playoffs.
