## Resource

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this episode alongside Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs GM and friend of the show. They discuss the Leafs' decision to hire former franchise rival Daniel Alfredsson behind the bench, what the move means for the locker room, and the coach's relationship with Mats Sundin and William Nylander. The trio also touch on how the roster has improved since the season ended, and the implications of Leo Carlsson's $18 million AAV offer sheet. Later, former Raptor and current Sportsnet NBA analyst, Alvin Williams (26:18) joins the show to reflect on the Raptors retiring Kyle Lowry's jersey, his legacy in Toronto, the return of Kawhi Leonard, and the possibility of DeMar DeRozan returning to the Raptors after being waived by the Kings.
