Chayka, Leafs Make A Splash | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Chayka, Leafs Make A Splash | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Author: The Nation Network June 17, 2026 Duration: 1:29:46

Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on with one of the loaded episodes of the summer as Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen dig into the first major trade of John Chayka's tenure as Maple Leafs GM, sending Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to the Philadelphia Flyers for Samuel Ersson, Emil Andrae and a third-round pick.


Nick Alberga joins the show to break down what the deal says about Chayka's approach so far, a live reaction to Jim Hiller being named the 41st Head Coach of the Toronto Maple leafs and why Mitch Marner's quiet finish in a losing Stanley Cup Final effort for Vegas has reignited all the old questions out of Toronto.


Then Kevin Kurz hops on to give the Philly side of the Woll trade, what a genuinely trustworthy goaltending tandem with Dan Vladar means for a team that hasn't had that luxury in years, and where expectations sit for the Flyers this offseason.


He and the guys also get into the swirling trade rumors around Darnell Nurse, whether Owen Tippett could be the one to move first, and if Rasmus Ristolainen is finally getting moved out of Philadelphia after surviving the deadline.


To wrap things up, Mike Bartner stops by for some hypothetical fun, from picking the Leafs' next head coach off the board to bold predictions on which team makes the biggest surprise leap next season.


From a major trade shaking up two franchises to coaching carousels and offseason what-ifs, the guys cover it all with insight, analysis and plenty of strong opinions.

There’s a particular kind of hockey talk that only comes from having lived it, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on Morning Cuppa Hockey. Hosts Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen bring their own distinct perspectives-forged from playing at multiple levels, including a Stanley Cup win-to the day’s biggest stories. Their conversations are less about delivering unanimous takes and more about digging into the nuances behind the headlines, the trends shaping the league, and those controversial plays that everyone is arguing about. This podcast thrives on that genuine back-and-forth; they know the game deeply, but they don’t always see it the same way. Alongside breaking down the news, they regularly pull back the curtain to introduce fascinating figures from around the hockey world, offering listeners a richer understanding of the sport’s characters and culture. It’s the kind of daily analysis that feels like a conversation with well-informed friends, perfect for starting your day. You can catch new episodes live Monday through Thursday, but the recorded podcast is always there for your morning routine, whenever you need that fix of authentic, experienced hockey insight.
