Thursday's FTB: Leafs play another Metro team

Happy Thursday, everyone. The Leafs have won five games in a row, will they make it six tonight?

In Leafs prospect news, as the OHL goes trade-happy, Sam McCue is on the move:

🚨TRADE ALERT🚨

Busy Day at the Trade Desk in Owen Sound....We have another one to announce!

The Attack have acquired Cole Zurawski from the Flint Firebirds for Sam McCue and 4 picks.

Thank you Sam for your commitment to the Attack organization! Welcome to the Bears Den Cole. pic.twitter.com/IW2c6b1CLI

Flint is sitting in the middle of the standings, so this is going to be a challenge for the number two man in the OHL in points to move up to a team doing better (Owen Sound is not doing well), but not all the way up to a top team.

This is for the next game on Saturday, but this is a preview before that game:
