## Resource

JD and James Mirtle, senior writer at The Athletic, break down all of the Maple Leafs activity on the first day of NHL free-agency. JD asks James about the likelihood of Morgan Reilly returning to the Leafs, Sergei Bobrovsky's contract, if there is a danger that Matthew Knies feels alienated, and if Zach Werenski is truly of the trade table. JD and James also give their letter grades for each Leafs signing.
