Tip Of The Tower Podcast

Staff writer Jake Middleton joins us again this week to discuss the shocking Dion Phaneuf trade. We share our thoughts on the deal (2:05), wonder if Phaneuf made a mistake by keeping Ottawa on his trade list (6:40), discuss whether Mike Babcock can work his magic on Jared Cowen (7:30), and project the ceiling of Tobias Lindberg (9:32).From there we stick with the trade talk and wonder if the Leafs are trying to "pump-and-dump" Nazem Kadri (14:00). We then discuss the idea of acquiring Jacob Trouba (15:55), try to set an over/under line for how many players the Leafs will trade at the deadline (22:00), if there's a player we would like to see the Leafs pursue (24:30), and who is the one player we would be shocked to see the Leafs trade away (30:04).You can listen to every episode of the ToT-cast on iTunes, Soundcloud, or stream it from our website.
