## Resource

It's a stacked Wednesday on Morning Cuppa Hockey... Carter Hutton sits in for Jonny Lazarus alongside Colby Cohen for a Season 3 episode that lands right in the thick of the NHL's wildest week of the summer... and The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta joins the show off the top to make sense of all of it. The Maple Leafs dropped the hammer on a new head coach... Jim Hiller is officially the 41st bench boss in franchise history after John Chayka and company canvassed more than two dozen candidates before circling back to a familiar face from the Mike Babcock era. Carter and Colby dig into what Hiller's hire actually means for Auston Matthews and William Nylander... and Pagnotta brings the insider lens on why Toronto zeroed in on him after a search that dragged through names like Patrick Roy and Joe Pavelski. Plus, the latest on Matthew Knies, Darnell Nurse, Ryan Craig, Dylan Larkin, and Mike Babcock. It's silly season in full swing, and nobody covers it better than the guy who broke half of it.
