Summary
The Leafs just pulled off a masterstroke trade, sending struggling goalie Joseph Woll and expendable defenseman Simon Benoit to the Flyers for a promising young blueliner and a third-round pick — freeing up nearly $5 million in cap space while undoing a past mistake. New GM John Chayka turned a bad deal into a smart one, positioning Toronto to re-sign Ersson and Andrae without breaking the bank, while the Flyers prepare to lock up Vladar long-term. This is Chayka’s breakout move — and it’s a strong start. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
