Behind the Leafs' 'Data-Centric' GM Search + Astronaut Chris Hadfield!
About this episode
Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome a special guest to kick off the national hour: Canadian astronaut and Leafs fan, Colonel Chris Hadfield (5:08)! He shares his thoughts on the Leafs' season, the Artemis II trip, his new book Final Orbit, and he reminisces on returning to Earth on the same day the Leafs lost to the Bruins in Game 7 of the 2013 playoffs. Later, former NHL player, agent, and GM Brian Lawton (28:41) discusses the NHL's shift to an analytics-first approach, how teams should use analytics, how the Leafs used their data under Brad Treliving, and why the Leafs should not move on Sunny Mehta until they hire a president.
