Leafs Hour: Matthews Sidelined + Kempe's Contract with Luc Robitaille

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee share their expectations for the Leafs' game against the L.A. Kings without Auston Matthews, who is sidelined with an injury, how Matthews could be weighing his options to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in a similar situation towards last year's Four Nations Face-Off, William Nylander's thoughts on if it is harder to score goals versus playing defence, reaction to the front office and David Kämpf agreeing to terminate their contract together and what could be next for him, and why a trade for Flames' defenceman Rasmus Andersson wouldn't work. Then, Kings' President Luc Robitaille joins the guys (31:41) to chat about Anže Kopitar's longevity and future in the NHL, Corey Perry's contributions to the Kings' offence, contract talks with Adrian Kempe, and Quinton Byfield's development.
