"That's where the conversation started on the Friday edition of Leafs Morning Take as David Pagnotta filled in as co-host for Jay Rosehill. Naturally, we transitioned into a segment about what's happening behind the scenes. How motivated are the Leafs to make a trade? Who's available? Is Berube's job on the line? Pagnotta hit on what's potentially to come if the Leafs can't find their footing."
"The Leafs are in D.C. to take on a red-hot Caps team, who've won five of six. This will be a tough one. At the time of recording, we weren't sure about what the Leafs roster will look like. Dakota Joshua will draw back in. Furthermore, it seems likely that Max Domi could be a healthy scratch. For the record, we agreed that decision -if it ends up happening."
"Speaking of which, Dan Riccio of OFF THE ROSTER, The Nation Network's new sports show, stopped by. Dan's been in Vancouver for almost a decade, he covered Joshua when he was with the Canucks. In fact, Riccio admitted Joshua needed to be poked and prodded, so maybe the health bomb was a blessing in disguise. In addition to promoting the show, Riccio hit on Joshua, the Leafs and Canucks potentially hooking up on a deal,"
Following an overtime win in Columbus, the Maple Leafs play back-to-back on a Black Friday 5 PM ET start in Washington and then in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Behind-the-scenes questions include trade motivation, available players, and whether Berube's job is at risk. Dakota Joshua is expected to return while Max Domi could be a healthy scratch, creating accountability concerns throughout the lineup. Dan Riccio noted Joshua needed prodding in Vancouver and called the injury pause possibly beneficial. Riccio also discussed a potential Leafs-Canucks transaction and urged caution about adding players amid current struggles.
