Ben and Brent continue to look ahead to NHL free agency as July 1st quickly approaches. The pair focus on what the Maple Leafs need to do to "change their DNA" as GM Brad Treliving has indicated. Anthony Petrielli of Maple Leafs Hotstove joins the conversation to discuss what's next for Toronto's pending UFAs Mitch Marner and John Tavares. They also debate if the team could actually get better, even if both players are lost to the open market. Later on, Sportsnet's Joe Siddall (27:40) checks in from Cleveland ahead of the first game of the Blue Jays' road trip tonight against the Guardians. The trio discuss why this upcoming stretch is so important for the ballclub, the state of the starting rotation, and the level of trust in the bullpen with Jeff Hoffman closing.
