What Will the Leafs Do with the First Overall Pick?
5/7/202650 min
Justin Bourne and Sam McKee welcome guest host JD Bunkis to look back on an eventful week in Leafs Land. They discuss John Chayka's guarded comments on the Leafs' direction thus far, whether he and Sundin will truly have an equal partnership in the front office, and the various factors affecting what the team does with the first overall pick. Then, they weigh Gavin McKenna against Ivar Stenberg, and which makes more sense for the Leafs at the top of the draft. Finally, they discuss Craig Berube's job security heading into next season, whether his style matches with Chayka's analytics-first vision, and what the Leafs should do to convince Auston Matthews that they're headed in the right direction.

Hi there. It's Justin Bourne. About a year ago, I found myself, like many of you out there, with just a couple weeks to go before Mother's Day and stressing about what to get my own wonderful mother. I was chatting about it with a coworker when another overheard us and mentioned Aura Frames, and to this day, it's the most success I've ever had with a present. These digital frames let your mom relive all the great times you've had together in the past, and if you're like me and don't live close, it can keep your mom up to date with a steady stream of new pics of the grandkids and life in general. The best part is you can even pre-load it with pictures, so the second she pulls the frame from the premium gift box, it's ready to go. It's a solid upgrade from the usual flowers. Named number one by Wirecutter, you can save on the gifts moms love by visiting auraframes.ca. For a limited time, listeners can get $25 off the best-selling Carver Matte Frame with code Justin. That's A-U-R-A frames.ca, promo code Justin. Support the show by mentioning us at checkout. Terms and conditions apply. [upbeat rock music] Welcome in to Real Kipper and Bourne. My name is Justin Bourne. We are joined today, not by Nick Kypreos. We got JD Bunkes in the house. Bunk, thanks for joining. How are you?
