A Tropicana Nightmare For The Blue Jays & Draft Lottery Dream For The Leafs

What a wild week it's been around Toronto and we were super excited to have Nick Ashbourne return to the show to help us make sense of it all.

Starting with the Blue Jays we check in on how concerning Vladimir Guerrero Jr's lack of power is and just how much further the rotation can be stretched. Plus - has this injury-plagued start already cost them a chance to win the division?

Later on talk circles around to the Maple Leafs and whether the immediate criticism of John Chayka was warranted and if all the excitement about Mats Sundin returning has been misplaced. How does Toronto's winning of the NHL Draft Lottery change the equation, if at all?

There was an awful lots of meat on the bone this week down in the Big Smoke and we were excited to have Nick help us unpack it all.
