## Resource

The Toronto Maple Leafs have their new head coach, and Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to the breaking news that Jim Hiller has been hired to lead the franchise behind the bench. What made Hiller the choice, what kind of coach are the Leafs getting, and what does the hiring mean for the future direction of the organization? David Pagnotta joins the show to break down the coaching decision, the reaction around the league, and what comes next for Toronto as a pivotal offseason continues. The crew also dives into the blockbuster trade that sent Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers, examining what the deal means for the Leafs' roster and whether more moves could be on the horizon. Plus, despite the coaching hire and trade, Matthew Knies' name continues to circulate in trade rumours. How much smoke is there around the young forward, and could Toronto still have another major move up its sleeve? After the hockey talk, the conversation shifts to the Toronto Blue Jays following a big win over the Boston Red Sox, as the hosts discuss what the victory means moving forward. They also tee up Canada's next match at the FIFA World Cup 2026, breaking down the key storylines, players to watch, and what Canada needs to do to continue its push on soccer's biggest stage. From the Leafs' new bench boss and offseason drama to Blue Jays baseball and World Cup coverage, Off the Roster has you covered.
