Belief Level in Sergei Bobrovsky + Day One Recap with GM John Chayka

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back at day one of NHL Free Agency, including the Maple Leafs' moves, winger Nick Paul from the Tampa Bay Lightning for goaltender Dennis Hildeby, Florida Panthers choosing Jacob Markström in net via trade over re-signing new Leafs netminder Sergei Bobrovsky, and the risk factors for Toronto bringing in the 37-year-old. Then, Maple Leafs' General Manager John Chayka joins the guys (25:20) to discuss his focus during the first day of signing season, the centreman and goaltending market, his belief level in the aging Bobrovsky coming off his 2025-26 performance, where his expectations lie for scoring depth, how Jack Roslovic would fit in the lineup, dipping into the top defensemen market, and what's left ahead for his team's offseason.
