On Tuesday, ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan linked the Toronto Blue Jays to free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger in free agency.

On defence, the Leafs are caught flat-footed often and are giving up too many odd-man rushes. On offence, the Leafs don’t forecheck with nearly the same ferocity and get slowed down in the neutral zone with relative ease. They’re not moving their feet, they’re getting beaten cleanly to pucks both ways and look a step behind all over the ice.

Toronto is a good basketball team. The depth that the Raptors possess will give the Hornets' second unit challenges, making it tough to predict a win for Charlotte. Things have generally fallen apart for the Hornets after starting hot in first quarters, and tonight will be more of the same.
