## Resource

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the second hour by discussing the latest in the Maple Leafs’ coaching search, including Jay Woodcroft emerging as a candidate. Does his experience coaching Connor McDavid in Edmonton makes him a fit for Toronto’s core? They also weigh David Carle’s candidacy, the team’s thorough approach, and how long the Leafs can afford to wait before hiring a new coach. The conversation then shifts to William Nylander’s comments about wanting to stay in Toronto, his fit in the market, and whether the Leafs can build a contender around him. Later, Sportsnet.ca NHL analyst Jason Bukala (28:35) joins the show to discuss Ivar Stenberg’s draft outlook, why his defensive game may be causing him to be underrated offensively, and how his World Championship performance has impacted his stock. Bukala also shares thoughts on Tinus-Luc Koblar’s NHL potential and weighs in on the Leafs’ coaching search and Carle's potential fit in Toronto.
