SHAKEUP: Leafs Make Big Changes to Front Office with Wickenheiser, Metcalf & Leach OUT

John Chayka's front office overhaul continued as the Maple Leafs parted ways with assistant GM Haley Wickenheiser, director of amateur scouting Mark Leach, analytics director Darryl Metcalf, and longtime employee Dave Morrison. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti discuss why the moves happened, whether they signal a new direction for the organization, and if Leafs fans should be concerned.

The guys also break down Toronto's latest RFA signings, discuss William Villeneuve's opportunity to crack the NHL roster, and react to the Anaheim Ducks matching the Philadelphia Flyers' massive offer sheet for Leo Carlsson and the Carolina Hurricanes catching heat for the Stanley Cup engravings.
