Simon Benoit

And I'm a little more optimistic about Raddysh that because of the, like micro stats, the five-on-five stuff, I think he can cook with the top end of this team.

And Andrej's an underrated Addition over Simon Benoit, who was probably on the worst defense in the league last year.

There's just a lot of ways this can go well, but it probably all hinges on Bobrovsky not being a complete lemon, and that is pretty terrifying.

Yeah.

And look, we, we mentioned the Joseph Woll addition, but again, to just zoom out, this team really didn't do much of anything in the off-season.

It was Joseph Woll, Noel Acciari, and Simon Benoit were the additions.

So, and I know leaving, Garnet Hathaway, Emil Andre, Ursin, some other randoms, Glen Denning, Noah Juulsen, don't exactly move the needle either way.

I guess when you saw the step that the team made, I was maybe expecting a little splash on the off-season market to really bolster that blue line.

They add, uh, Woll in net, Joseph Woll.

They add, uh, Simon Benoit, a D swap they made with the Leafs.

Noah Charry also comes over there.

Noel in the fourth line, whatever.

They, uh-

...

...

Yeah.

And, and another thing, too, like, I, I think, um, I know Brierre mentions, uh, Simon Benoit in his RG interview.

I'm not sure if Tockett did.

He may have.

They think he can bring something.

That said, like, if he's, if he's obviously struggling, and Murchison or, or McDonald is down in the minors doing real well and taking a step, like, he's not the kinda guy that I think they would hesitate to send down to the minors and call up one of the kids.

Like, I don't think Simon Benoit's part of the future, so-

I don't think so

Who-

Who added Noel Acciari, Simon Benoit, and Joseph Woll.

Nice upgrade from, um-

Yeah

A couple of the first moves, bit of eyebrow raisers.

Like, he trades Joseph Woll- And Simon Benoit to the Flyers for Mill Andre.

Um, they get a goalie that they were never gonna keep and then a pick.

And it's just like, it seems light for a goalie that a lot of people liked, a lot of people in the organization thought had a bright future.

The key departures and key additions of the offseason for the Maple Leafs, as I said, huge overhaul.

In terms of key departures, you've got Joseph Wohl, Brandon Carlos, Simon Benoit, Dennis Hildeby, Matthias Michelli, Nick Robertson, and Kelly Arncroft.

And these are all players.

That doesn't even go as far to say as their head coach, Craig Berube.
