About this episode
Justin Cuthbert and Mike Futa dive into the Maple Leafs' trade talks for Mikko Rantanen; Mitch Marner's involvement, Toronto's offer including Fraser Minten, Easton Cowan and two first round picks, as well as why a deal ultimately wasn't reached. They pivot to discuss the Hurricanes' mentality on Rantanen from their initial acquisition of the player to recouping assets during his quick turnaround. Liam McHugh of TNT shares his takeaways of the trade deadline "royal rumble", before looking into Brad Marchand's fit with the Panthers, the most intriguing potential playoff matchup, and the most surprising and underwhelming teams in the trade market (20:32).
