Leafs Hour: Projecting Auston's Future

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look ahead to the Leafs' matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, where they will have Scott Laughton back but still be without Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz. They react to today's update that Stolarz's injury is more serious than originally thought, discuss Matthews' availability issues in recent seasons, and ask if the captain will ever return to his Hart form. Then, they get into Calle Jarnkrok's move to the top line, Jacob Quillan's potential, and whether the quick ramp-up will become too much for Joseph Woll. Finally, Aaron Portzline (34:05), Blue Jackets reporter with The Athletic, shares his impressions of Columbus through 20 games, Kirill Marchenko's superstar potential, Yegor Chinakhov's future with the team after demanding a trade, and much more.
