Matvei Michkov Trade Request: Is Tocchet the Problem?

Matvei Michkov trade request fallout: why the Flyers are wasting their best chance creator, plus the Leafs' Bobrovsky problem and Oilers' goalies.

Nick Zararis (Locked On Oilers) goes solo on Locked On NHL. The Toronto Maple Leafs overhauled the front office, the bench and the crease, so why are they 7th in the Atlantic? Sergei Bobrovsky's numbers have barely moved from last year, while Darren Raddysh, Jack Roslovic and Gavin McKenna have held up their end. In Philadelphia, Kevin Weekes' report and Rick Tocchet's response put Michkov's usage under the microscope, along with Dan Vladar's workload. And the Edmonton Oilers are 14-3-3 with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard on historic 84-game paces. Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi are the reason it's working.
