David Carle to the Leafs? Colby Cohen Doesn’t See It Happening

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by former NHLer and Morning Cuppa Hockey co-host Colby Cohen to break down all the latest surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs.

First up, Colby dissects Toronto’s blue line and explains why he believes they need more puck-moving ability on the back end. He compares the Leafs’ defence to what the Philadelphia Flyers have built, while also stressing the importance of properly slotting players like Jake McCabe with the right partner. He also admits he wasn’t a fan of the way Toronto deployed its defence corps this past season.

The conversation then shifts to reports suggesting the Leafs are willing to discuss anyone on the roster except Auston Matthews. Colby weighs in on whether Toronto can realistically address its needs on the trade market without moving one of the organization’s core players, mentioning names like William Nylander and Matthew Knies.

Later, the guys dive into Toronto’s ongoing coaching search. Colby shares why he believes there’s little chance the Leafs can pry David Carle away from Denver, before identifying Jay Woodcroft as a coaching candidate who really stands out to him for the job.

To wrap things up, Colby discusses top prospect Gavin McKenna, his massive upside, and whether he would take him first overall.
