## Resource

Toronto’s new GM John Chayka is playing the long game, holding onto young talent like Matthew Knies — a gritty, skilled forward worth more than his asking price — while the Rangers’ interest fizzled. Chayka’s strategy? Build value, not make splashy trades. Meanwhile, Montreal gets a massive scheduling advantage, facing back-to-back games 19 times this season — the most in the league — giving them a built-in edge. For Toronto, it’s about controlling what they can: preparation and execution, especially in a tight Atlantic division.
