JD reacts to a wild night in sports and focuses on the current state of Maple Leafs fans. Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos joins JD to talk about what a prospective trade for Matthew Knies would have looked like, why the Leafs may have considered moving on from Knies, if he's convinced one way or the other with the Leafs direction, if a Knies trade is more likely in the future now that his name has been floated in the media, if Brad Treliving's job security has possibly changed, if he thinks the Leafs could go back to having a president of hockey operations role and if there's a chance the NHL could step in to curtail the no-move clauses in contracts. JD and Producer Armen then discuss Bam Adebayo's outrageous 83-point performance.
