Everyone is surprised the hiring we all heard about has happened.

Looking at the very young and very raw defenseman out of Switzerland, Daniil Ustinkov, and his potential as a mid-round swing for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Looking at one of the more underrated defense prospects in this year's draft, who could be another John Marino available in the mid to late rounds.

This is very confusing, can the PWHL please get some team names?

A run through the pending UFAs and RFAs doesn't reveal a lot of keepers.

These people have been playing hockey for nine months.

But is it a deal the Leafs should be making?

No water bottles were harmed in the making of this FTB.
