Lightning Round: The Leafs are reportedly interested in Rasmus Ristolainen and that is very very funny

Yesterday afternoon, Pierre LeBrun did the world a great service by going on the radio and mentioning that the Leafs have talked with the Buffalo Sabres about acquiring Rasmus Ristoalainen. While he said a deal is unlikely to happen at the deadline, he said he thinks the teams could revisit the conversation over the summer.

This is such a wonderful rumor that it seems too good to be true. Could the Leafs, who already traded for Cody Ceci, really go trade for Rasmus Ristolainen? Do we dare hope that we might see two players who have been the center of so many internet arguments playing together in Toronto?
