The Toronto Maple Leafs captaincy has been passed off from John Tavares to Auston Matthews while the NHL Network ignites a spicy debate. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on Tavares, showing his support for the decision to hand the captaincy to Matthews and what it says about him. Mike and Dave discussed the latest on the team’s assistant captains going into next season and some of the interesting things that were said at the press conference by players in attendance, including Mitch Marner, Morgan Rielly, and Brad Treliving. To end the show, Mike and Dave take a look at the NHL Network’s top 20 ranking of wingers and discuss where Mitch Marner and William Nylander landed on the list and the debate that has been brought out by it.

Morning Guys. Thanks for the pod.
I literally lol when you said if Matthews came out with a shaved bucket "it would be concerning" 😂
Willy over Mitch… oddly enough, he just seems to play harder…given how his first few years here. He will get 40+ goals again and 100 points this season. he just gets better each year. Marner shrinks in big moments and doesn't shoot nearly enough.
time for Matthews to go FULL Sundin now…. shaved head and remove the visor. …. (yah right). Sundin mucked it up
You talk about Marner running the power play and how good he is. Really 4% pp in the playoffs
Also Wendal Clark and Gilmour
marner number 6 on that list
Sam Reinhart is an elite two-way player. You wouldn’t know it being blinded by all that Marner and Nylander flashy stuff, but yeah, when he and Barkov are on the ice, best of luck to ya.
Mitch plays PK/PP/ leads TOI, 2 way player, leads pts, +/-, top 5 playmaker, played every playoff game (with no one to pass too) There’s a reason ROR wanted Mitch in Nashville. What players did ROR say would never win, when he left?
