Hunter: There are few players in the league who can immediately change the vibe for a team, and even at this stage of his career, Kadri is one of them. He hasn\u2019t played postseason hockey since winning with Colorado in 2022, but I can\u2019t think of a better addition for the Avs to make, especially in a division like the Central whose entire purpose is to shatter the dreams of two hockey franchises.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott: That is, until he makes a dangerous hit and is suspended for the rest of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Hunter: There\u2019s an old saying in Denver \u2014 I know it\u2019s in Toronto but it\u2019s probably in Denver \u2014 that says, \u201cFool me once, shame on \u2026 shame on you. Fool me three times<\/a>, we can\u2019t get fooled again!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 40-17-6, +41 Scott: I was a bit disappointed the Canes didn\u2019t try to swing for an elite forward with all the cap space they have, but if the market wasn\u2019t there, no sense in overpaying. Bringing in Nic Deslauriers is a bit of a net-negative addition, so unless he\u2019s mostly a veteran presence in the locker room and not actually in the lineup, I\u2019m not a fan of that being Carolina\u2019s only move. Regardless, this is the most wide-open the Eastern Conference has been, especially in the Metropolitan Division, so the Hurricanes need to make the most of it even without any reinforcements.<\/p>\n Record: 39-14-10, +47 Hunter: The Stars saw their 10-game win streak snapped by the Avalanche in a shootout loss, thanks to Colorado scoring the tying goal with 15 seconds left in regulation. Now seven points back in the division, they\u2019re all but assured to play the Wild in the first round. Dallas kept things light at the deadline, acquiring Tyler Myers<\/a> for depth on the blueline, then Michael Bunting from the Predators<\/a>, who has \u201crandom double-overtime goal in Game 5\u201d written all over him. The Stars may not have picked up any \u201cbig names,\u201d but if it ain\u2019t broke\u2026<\/p>\n Scott: Still, if there was a time to take a big swing, it was this season when they had all the cap space they did from Tyler Seguin\u2019s season-ending LTIR placement. I don\u2019t mind Bunting as a depth-forward addition, but Myers as their solution on defense is underwhelming, especially since Jim Nill continues to acquire slow, bad defensemen every year.<\/p>\n Record: 39-19-4, +51 Hunter: Tampa lost three of four games last week and have dropped five of their past six. Still, their matchup against the Sabres was arguably the game of the year<\/a>, an 8-7 loss that saw fights, scrums and more than 100 penalty minutes. Those are the types of games that galvanize a team.<\/p>\n Also, let\u2019s talk about the Lightning\u2019s acquisition of Corey Perry<\/a>. The 40-year-old has two goals and a fight in his first two games since the trade, and while his offensive numbers don\u2019t jump off the page, his performance in last spring\u2019s postseason with Edmonton was impressive (10 goals in 22 games). Some say Tampa \u201cguaranteed\u201d they will lose in the final<\/a>, but you need players to drag you into the fight, and there aren\u2019t many men with bloodier knuckles than Perry.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: I know Colorado has all the hype surrounding them after their deadline, but I think Tampa\u2019s \u201cdeadline additions\u201d will just be getting healthy. For my money<\/a>, they\u2019re still the team to beat right now.<\/p>\n Record: 37-16-11, +30 Scott: I was of the opinion that the United States winning the Olympics would be better for the game long-term (political catastrophe aside), and I think an underrated aspect of that statement is that it\u2019s made Bill Guerin believe he is some hockey mastermind. You big-brain leaving off Cole Caufield, Adam Fox and Jason Robertson one time and suddenly you\u2019re throwing a second-round pick at Michael McCarron and telling Minnetonka product Bobby Brink playing for the Wild isn\u2019t a family reunion<\/a> while also acquiring Nick Foligno to specifically have a family reunion with Marcus (he\u2019s reaching Paul Fenton-lizard territory<\/a> with his quotes these days). Guerin is getting too big for his britches and he needs to be stopped!<\/p>\n I will at least say that, family restrictions aside, I like the Brink addition for Minnesota.<\/p>\n Record: 39-19-6, +32 Scott: I\u2019m going to be honest, I wasn\u2019t a fan of the Sabres\u2019 deadline. I like that they tried to swing big for a guy like Colton Parayko or Robert Thomas (although I think Parayko nixing them saved them from a possibly bad trade), because if there was a place to improve, that was it. I otherwise thought their lineup was good as is and they didn\u2019t need to spend to add depth that would disrupt their chemistry, but not only did they add depth, they added bad depth. I like Sam Carrick as a defensive center, but Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn played a surprisingly big role in sinking the Jets defensively this season (sub-45% 5v5 expected goal share when either player is on the ice, 52.17% when neither player was on), they are gonna do some serious damage to Buffalo\u2019s momentum when they play. I don\u2019t mind bringing Schenn as a veteran for when the noise gets crazy come playoff time, but yeah, they should have just left the team as is.<\/p>\n Also, mark your calendars folks: Apr. 6, Sabres vs. Lightning. This may be the NHL\u2019s next exciting rivalry, and we get at least one more matchup of them after the barnburner they played on Sunday. This could even be a potential second-round series too, so we may be spoiled in the next couple months.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hunter: We know the Parayko trade leaked before he nixed the move<\/a>, but I wonder how many others around the league used their veto in potential deals with Buffalo. I know \u201cwinning cures all\u201d and some players could be more open to a trade, but the Sabres\u2019 reputation still precedes them. Does their pool of available assets grow with a playoff run this spring and continued success next season?<\/p>\n Record: 36-21-7, -1 Hunter: Last week<\/a>, I scoffed at reports of the Red Wings being interested in Tyler Myers, arguing that if you\u2019re going to make a move, go after Justin Faulk. Well, that\u2019s exactly what they did<\/a>. The price was steep, giving up a first- and third-round pick along with a talented prospect in Dmitri Buchelnikov, but for this year and next, they get a legitimate top-four defender with offensive upside.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: Good job Stevie, you broke the cycle of generational (management) trauma<\/a> and got an actually decent defenseman.<\/p>\n Record: 32-17-14, +25 Scott: After making a ton of trades prior to last week, the Penguins were quiet during the deadline, only adding the massive but still young Elmer Soderblom for a third-round pick. Pittsburgh is clearly content with the group they have going into the playoffs, and we obviously think it\u2019s a good one here at Daily Faceoff. The key now is going to be weathering the storm with both Sidney Crosby (injury) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) out of the lineup. The Pens got three of four points over the weekend without both, so it\u2019s gone well thus far.<\/p>\n Record: 34-18-10, +13 Hunter: I\u2019m torn on the Canadiens, who lost twice in California and allowed 15 goals in three games. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes know they\u2019re not good enough to be serious contenders, but most players saw last spring\u2019s playoff berth as a stepping stone for this season.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a balance between staying on track and giving fans and players something to rally around, and that doesn\u2019t mean throwing around first-round picks. There\u2019s a middle ground in acquiring someone who can come in and say, \u201cI\u2019ve been there before, let me show you how it\u2019s done.\u201d Montreal didn\u2019t do that, and it feels like an opportunity missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: I mean, Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki were both on the 2020-21 team who went to the Cup Final, as were Josh Anderson, Phillip Danault and Brendan Gallagher. Outside of maybe adding a veteran presence in net (Sergei Bobrovsky?), it\u2019s not like it\u2019s a pressing need for them.<\/p>\n Hunter: You don\u2019t think Juraj Slafkovsky, Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov want to go on a run that isn\u2019t an automatic elimination? It\u2019s not a pressing need, but players want to know management believes in them. Also, with just five points separating them and the Blue Jackets, the chance of missing the playoffs and taking a step back is worth making a move.<\/p>\n Record: 35-22-6, +12 Hunter: The Bruins haven\u2019t won or lost more than two games in a row since Jan. 17, but they still hold the second Wildcard spot. Boston mostly stood pat at the deadline, although I\u2019m curious if Lukas Reichel<\/a> gets a shot in the lineup after they got him from the Canucks. He\u2019s a 2020 first-round pick, his AHL numbers suggest something\u2019s there, and the Bruins have a German head coach in Marco Sturm who might be better equipped than most to unlock the German-born Reichel.<\/p>\n Record: 32-21-9, +2 Hunter: I\u2019ll be honest: I\u2019m rooting for the Blue Jackets. They\u2019re 13-2-2 since replacing Dean Evason with Rick Bowness, and Adam Fantilli has found his game, scoring five goals in the six games since the Olympic break. I don\u2019t know about the Conor Garland trade,<\/a> but perhaps getting out of Vancouver could be what fixes him. Columbus is just three points back of a Wildcard spot \u2014 I say they do it.<\/p>\n Scott: While I think Columbus\u2019 bigger need is on defense, I think Garland is a fantastic addition to the team, at least right now with how strong of a two-way player he is. The contract is concerning, especially with how he\u2019s produced this year, but I\u2019m going to cut him some slack considering he played for the Canucks. For the Blue Jackets to add a good top-six forward without dealing a first-round pick is some tidy work.<\/p>\n Record: 29-21-14, +4 Scott: Many wondered if the Golden Knights had a last-minute stunning trade up their sleeves like the Tomas Hertl trade from two years ago, particularly in net, but they were pretty quiet by adding Nic Dowd and Cole Smith. It\u2019s on this current group to get out of their current funk, which saw them go more than three months without beating a playoff team until their 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings. THREE MONTHS. Vegas wouldn\u2019t even be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference right now. I\u2019ve seen plenty of people group Vegas in with the other Stanley Cup contenders, and they may be on paper, but I need to see more than this to be convinced.<\/p>\n Hunter: If the Golden Knights draw the Oilers in the first round, the likes of Adin Hill and Akira Schmid will face the wrath of a hellbent Connor McDavid, and there\u2019s no world where that works out for Vegas. Also, isn\u2019t it maddening that none of the Pacific Division teams would be in a playoff spot in the East? What\u2019s going on?\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: You say that like Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram won\u2019t be equally out of their element against Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner and company.<\/p>\n Hunter: Nothing about Marner in the spring scares me.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: True, playoff Marner will make Jarry look like prime Carey Price.<\/p>\n Record: 34-25-4, +28 Scott: As a big MacKenzie Weegar fan (big enough to suggest he should have been considered to play for Canada at the Olympics), I love this addition for the Mammoth<\/a>. I was already higher than most on this group, and I think inserting a legit top-pair defenseman does wonders to their outlook. If they hang on to the first Wildcard spot and set themselves up with a path through the Pacific Division to start the playoffs, I think they might be a sneaky contender to go on a deep run.<\/p>\n Record: 36-23-5, +5 Scott: Did Lou Lamoriello sneak back into the office to make one final trade? I\u2019ve liked what the Islanders have done so far this season to maintain a retool while being competitive, but the trade for Brayden Schenn is a perplexing one. He doesn\u2019t fit the Islanders\u2019 timeline, they didn\u2019t retain any of his salary, they gave up a ton to get him and he\u2019s also just not a good player anymore. This feels like something Lamoriello would have done five years ago, not based on what we\u2019ve seen from Mathieu Darche so far. It\u2019s not back-breaking, but it\u2019s not a step in the right direction either.<\/p>\n Hunter: Doesn\u2019t it feel like every playoff team in the East thinks they have a shot at making a run? I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re right (e.g. the Islanders), but with the Panthers out of it, they\u2019re thinking: \u201cWhat the hell, go for it.\u201d Does that mean they\u2019re better than the Lightning or Hurricanes? Of course not. But in a two-week series with Ilya Sorokin, anything is possible.<\/p>\n Record: 31-22-9, +14 Hunter: The Senators played themselves out of a position where Steve Staios could feel comfortable spending assets at the deadline. Even after Ottawa earned five of six points last week, they\u2019re still five back of the Bruins for the final Wildcard spot. It\u2019s hard to believe a team with the third-best 5v5 expected goals percentage could miss the playoffs, but that\u2019s what poor goaltending gets you.\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 35-25-3, -10 Hunter: The Ducks sit at the top of the Pacific Division with fewer than 20 games to go, a sentence I couldn\u2019t imagine typing going into the season. Anaheim has won 13 of their last 17 games, an impressive response after a 2-11-2 stretch between Dec. 11 and Jan. 10. Even more impressive is Pat Verbeek getting a top blueliner in John Carlson<\/a> for a modest return, then trading away Ryan Strome and his $5-million cap hit<\/a> without retention.<\/p>\n Record: 31-25-8, +9 Hunter: The Oilers didn\u2019t make any flashy moves, but Connor Murphy<\/a> and Jason Dickinson<\/a> give them much-needed depth they lacked through the first three quarters of 2025-26. Neither has seen playoff action since 2020 and both were major reasons for Chicago\u2019s top-ranked penalty kill (how the hell did the Blackhawks have the best PK in the league?).<\/p>\n But in the crease \u2026 I get it, Edmonton \u201cused their bullet\u201d with Tristan Jarry, but he\u2019s looked awful, posting a minus-6.1 goals saved above expected in his last 10 games and an .862 save percentage since being acquired. I\u2019m sure the prices for Jordan Binnington and Jesper Wallstedt were astronomical, but you only have so many years with the best player in the world in Connor McDavid. You might as well go for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: I hear there was a guy in Pittsburgh who\u2019s done well this season too\u2026 maybe the Oilers should have dealt Jarry and a second for Stuart Skinner?<\/p>\n Hunter: I\u2019d make that deal!\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 29-22-11, -13 Scott: The Flyers didn\u2019t sell aggressively as they could have, but I wouldn\u2019t say they missed out on selling any player whom they couldn\u2019t also sell in the summer. If the market isn\u2019t there, there\u2019s no need to rush a trade right now for the players signed for next season. I was a bit confused by the Brink trade, but for a team lacking a strong option on the blueline for the future, David Jiricek is a decent gamble if they develop him properly.<\/p>\n Record: 31-26-7, +8 Scott: Okay, I have a hot take: I actually didn\u2019t hate the Capitals\u2019 Trade Deadline. Don\u2019t get me wrong, David Kampf and Timothy Liljegren aren\u2019t Dowd and Carlson, especially with the hit to the morale of Alex Ovechkin and co. it caused. But they managed to get a first-, a second- and two third-round picks for Carlson and Dowd, and only gave up a fourth and sixth to replace them in the lineup, with Liljegren still providing some upside at 26. It\u2019s a horrible look optics-wise, but these moves are the kind of forward-thinking ones which have given the Capitals a second life and positioned them for success beyond Ovechkin and Carlson.<\/p>\n Record: 31-29-3, -19\u00a0 Hunter: Imagine being Jeff Petry: You sign with the Panthers in the offseason, thinking you will be a depth piece on a Cup contender, and it just so happens to be the year Florida gets hit with injuries and plummets in the standings. Now he\u2019s been shipped to the Wild<\/a> and will play that same role. And hey, did you know the Panthers have lost nine of their last 12? Now you do!<\/p>\n Record: 25-23-14, -23 Hunter: The Kings traded Perry to the Lightning; acquired Scott Laughton from the Leafs<\/a>, and one day earlier sent Warren Foegele to the Senators<\/a>. On the ice, they dropped two of three and have now lost seven of their last nine \u2026 yet they\u2019re just three points back of a Wildcard spot. Still, it wasn\u2019t an inspiring Trade Deadline in Anze Kopitar\u2019s final season.<\/p>\n Scott: I wonder if Artemi Panarin regrets not waiting until the end of the season before signing an extension with the Kings.<\/p>\n Hunter: I wonder if Ken Holland would have given him even more term if they waited until July 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 29-24-9, -9 Scott: Say what you will about the Kraken, they know their type. Bobby McMann perfectly fits in with what they have going on with their group. He\u2019s an ideal middle-six forward, one who doesn\u2019t drive the bus but acts as a strong complementary piece to a line with playdriving talent. The problem is every player on Seattle is this type of player! They still don\u2019t have the talent and are likely poised to either make the playoffs and be cannon fodder for the Avalanche or miss the playoffs and, if they\u2019re lucky, just sneak into the top 10 of the draft and not get a talented forward. At this point, it\u2019s impressive how they\u2019ve maintained mediocrity for so long.<\/p>\n Hunter: Not a trade or on-ice observation, but I was happy to see the team sign Jordan Eberle to a two-year extension<\/a> that will keep him under contract until he\u2019s 38. I\u2019m sure he could have fetched a decent return for the Kraken if he asked to be moved, and even at his age, he would have commanded a healthy AAV in free agency. But he seems happy in Seattle, and it wasn\u2019t long ago that Eberle was toiling away in a rudderless Edmonton lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: I get where you\u2019re coming from a \u201cgood vibes\u201d perspective, but moves like that are part of the problem in Seattle.<\/p>\n Hunter: I think Seattle\u2019s in a position where they need reliable veterans who can steer the ship, and if they overpay Eberle to wear the \u2018C\u2019 and be a stable voice, I\u2019m fine with it. Plus, his contract is set up where the Kraken can move him elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott: Yeah, it makes more sense with the captaincy, but they aren\u2019t exactly lacking in reliable veterans.<\/p>\n Record: 32-30-2, -26 Scott: The Devils were inactive at the deadline, and to be honest, that may have been the smart play. Their big names on the market were Dougie Hamilton and Simon Nemec, and it just didn\u2019t make sense to move either player. Sure, Hamilton frees up cap space, but he\u2019s a talented defenseman and New Jersey was going to get pennies on the dollar. Nemec just makes no sense to move considering the talent he\u2019s begun to show this season, unless he\u2019s a piece the Devils move to bring in a high-end player. Keeping both players around is probably the smarter play for the long run.<\/p>\n Record: 28-27-8, -29 Hunter: The Predators have lost 11 of their last 16 games, including three in regulation last week. How are they still three points back of a Wildcard spot? Is the Western Conference that bad? They traded away Bunting, Michael McCarron<\/a> and Cole Smith<\/a> for picks, but Ryan O\u2019Reilly and Steven Stamkos stayed put. I\u2019m curious to see what Barry Trotz\u2019s replacement decides to do with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 26-26-10, -11 Hunter: In a lost season for the Jets, they moved Tanner Pearson<\/a>, Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn<\/a> to the Sabres, acquiring three draft picks and Isak Rosen, who produced in the AHL and could find a full-time NHL job with a Winnipeg squad that\u2019s offensively starved. And hey, they won three games this week! Everything\u2019s coming up Jets!<\/p>\n Scott: I don\u2019t think the Jets trading Stanley and Schenn and then winning both games with them out of the lineup is a coincidence. I pointed out how different the Jets play with and without those two on the ice, and I wonder if we see Winnipeg go on a late run late in the season now that they\u2019ve moved on from those two.<\/p>\n Actually, they\u2019re only five points out of a playoff spot\u2026 do we see them sneak into that last spot? Their competition (Los Angeles, Nashville, San Jose, Seattle) aren\u2019t exactly making it hard for them. I\u2019m not saying it will happen, but it\u2019s something to keep your eye on.<\/p>\n Hunter: Don\u2019t. Don\u2019t give me hope.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Record: 30-25-6, -23 Scott: Oh boy, that Kiefer Sherwood contract. Why does every fun up-and-coming team make this kind of move? I still remember when the Leafs did this (to a much lesser extent) with Matt Martin, but the Sherwood contract will be back-breaking once the Sharks have to start paying their stars. They have the cap space for it now and the next couple seasons, but will they in 2029 or 2030? I doubt it. Sherwood is the type of player who is valuable when you sign him to a $1.5 million contract in free agency, not when you trade multiple second-round picks and sign him to almost $6 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 27-26-11, -24 Scott: Off the ice, the Leafs did\u2026 alright\u2026 for the first time in a while. They surprised a lot of people when they managed to get a first-round pick for Roy without retaining on his $3 million cap hit, and while the returns for McMann and Laughton (go Kings go) weren\u2019t as rich, they at least got something for the two free agents they had to move, and can explore players like Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the summer.<\/p>\n On the ice, it\u2019s a trainwreck. While they haven\u2019t played at the same low level as their first week out of the Olympic break, the Leafs are now in a seven-game losing streak and plummeting down the standings. I joked with a friend about the Leafs having another stretch of play like they did in 2011-12 or 2013-14 to really bottom out, but they just might at this rate. They\u2019re the ninth-worst team in the league, and it\u2019s not out of the question they sink lower. Of course, the most-realistic spot they end up in if they were to fall off more is\u2026 sixth. Enjoy the pick, Boston!<\/p>\n Hunter: Forget the trades, which at this point seem menial compared to the big picture: They\u2019re so bad. They\u2019re so, so, so bad. There was a clip from last week of Craig Berube yelling at the players<\/a> during a TV timeout, and each of them had the same thousand-yard stare Mark Wahlberg had in Boogie Nights<\/a> when he realizes his life is falling apart. It\u2019s a trainwreck fans will talk about years down the road, or use as a comparison when other teams completely crash out. But hey, at least they got a first-round pick for Roy. Atta boy, Tree!\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 25-29-9, -46 Scott: You certainly can\u2019t complain about the work the Blues did at the deadline. While they didn\u2019t commit to a fire sale like many thought they would, they moved on from their biggest veteran pieces who clearly didn\u2019t have futures with this group in Faulk and Schenn and in return for two firsts, two thirds and two solid prospects in return, and Jonathan Drouin isn\u2019t a bad roster player to have around either, especially as a reclamation project. He\u2019s already got his first goal as a Blue!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Record: 25-30-7, -34 Hunter: Craig Conroy did well at the deadline, sending Weegar to the Mammoth and Kadri to the Avalanche for a total return that included a first-round pick and four second-round picks. Combined with the Rasmus Anderson deal<\/a> from last January, Calgary has six first-round picks, eight second rounders and four third-round picks between 2026 and 2028.<\/p>\n Record: 24-30-8, -29 Hunter: The Rangers shipped Sam Carrick<\/a> to the Sabres for draft picks, but \u2026 wasn\u2019t it a foregone conclusion Vincent Trocheck was on his way out? He\u2019s on the wrong side of 30 and his value has never been higher after winning Olympic gold. Trocheck has three years remaining on a contract that pays him more than $5.6 million annually, so why not take the best available deal and move on?<\/p>\n Scott: I\u2019ve said this before already in the rankings, but it seems like the market for the high-end players wasn\u2019t there. Why take Trocheck for less than you think he\u2019s worth when he still has term on his contract and can be dealt in the summer or next season at the price you want for him?<\/p>\n Hunter: Because I don\u2019t think that return will be there next season, and I feel like we\u2019re entering a dark era of the Blueshirts that will torpedo all their statlines. But then again, this is the NHL: someone (almost) always overpays.<\/p>\n Scott: There will certainly be someone in the summer still willing to pay a premium to bring on a player like Trocheck.<\/p>\n Record: 23-29-11, -36 Hunter: On the ice, the Blackhawks lost three games. Off the ice, the reality of another lost season set in, as Kyle Davidson traded Murphy, Dickinson and Colton Dach to the Oilers in separate deals, as well as captain Nick Foligno to the Wild<\/a>. Chicago got a first- and second-round pick out of it, but we\u2019re six years into the rebuild with nothing to show for it. This summer, ownership will need to review if Davidson is the right person for the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n Record: 19-36-8, -71 Scott: It wasn\u2019t quite the fire sale Canucks fans hoped for, but Vancouver jumped on a couple opportunities to move Garland and Myers for the right price and have two seconds, a third and a fourth to show for it. It\u2019s too bad they couldn\u2019t get anything for their pending UFAs (or UFA, let\u2019s be real, nobody wanted Evander Kane), but beyond that, there was no need to sell any of the big names if the Canucks weren\u2019t going to get the right prices for them.<\/p>\n Now the real mission begins \u2013 keep up the tank job. It\u2019s hard to see Vancouver blowing the 10-point (dis)advantage they have over the Rangers, but the Canucks can\u2019t let up at any point if they want the best chance at the first pick!<\/p>\n _____<\/p>\n CHECK OUT OFF THE ROSTER \u2013 NEW EPISODES EVERY WEEKDAY<\/p>\n Off The Roster is Toronto sports.
