Yesterday was all about Nylander, so today is for everyone else. A fact, bit of news or something about everyone else on the roster. No guarantees it's nice though.

**Tyler Bertuzzi**

[The ice-time breakdown on D, Tyler Bertuzzi heating up, and what’s the plan for the third-line left-wing spot? - Maple Leafs NotebookAs we await the official announcement on the William Nylander contract extension, we’ll discuss the Maple Leafs’ three-game winning streak, the ice-time distribution on the blue line, the third-line left-wing spot, and much more in this week’s notebook. When the Nylander contract is final, be sure to check back for my full thoughts on the \[…\]![](https://www.mapleleafshotstove.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/MLHS-LOGO2-EMBLEM-500x500.png)Maple Leafs HotstoveAnthony Petrielli![](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/matthews-wins-it.jpeg)](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2024/01/08/toronto-maple-leafs-notebook-blue-line-tyler-bertuzzi-third-line-lw-spot/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

  
**Max Domi**

**Pontus Holmberg**

Holmberg with the assist and the net-front disruption on this goal:

**Calle Järnkrok**

Järnkrok has the lowest $/point of any non-ELC player on the Leafs.

  
**David Kämpf**

**Matthew Knies**

No one talks about Knies more than Habs fans.

  
**Mitch Marner**

**Auston Matthews**

I never look at points, is he doing okay this year?

**Bobby McMann**

**Ryan Reaves & Nicholas Robertson**

> Reaves and Robertson still in healthy scratch grey at practice.

**John Tavares**

> John Tavares is a year and a half away from free agency himself. The captain reiterates that he too wants to stay in Toronto.

**Simon Benoit**

**TJ Brodie**

Brodie has been letting his hair grow. If you want to find out how people feel about that, you are on your own. 

**Mark Giordano**

Giordano is the lowest cost per minute played on the Leafs.  
  
**William Lagesson**

Lagesson eye-tests as defensively good, but his negative effect on offence (much worse than Benoit's) makes him hard to play. 

**Timothy Liljegren**

Liljegren is averaging 20.9 minutes per game since his injury and was at 17.9 before.

**Jake McCabe**

McCabe does not miss John Klingberg.

**Jake Muzzin**

I miss Jake.

**Morgan Rielly**

Rielly has the highest xGF/60 on the PP of all NHL defenders. (Yes it is extremely stupid that the Leafs keep looking for a righty for the PP.)

**Conor Timmins**

Timmins looks better by almost all stats than even his most ardent fans will describe him. He's offence only, and likely isn't playing for that reason alone.

**Dennis Hildeby**

Hildeby is not starting tonight.

**Martin Jones**

**Joseph Woll**

Woll was placed on Injured Reserve, one month ago today.

That was harder than I expected! Do not ever search Leafs defenders on Twitter or even Google. Every one of them is a useless bum who makes big mistakes even while sleeping.

In actual news, the Ducks fleeced the Flyers in what is essentially a trade forced by the player: 

> TRADE: We have acquired left wing Cutter Gauthier from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a second-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft.

There's some quotes from various Flyers people sounding more than a bit put out by this. No one has yet asked them if the name Eric Lindros means anything to them. 

That's it for this morning! Don't forget there's a fun and exciting Sharks game later.
