The NHL trade deadline has passed, but Paul Bissonnette is making sure to keep the fun going with an interesting Maple Leafs rumour.

Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett, fresh off a memorable 4 Nations Face-Off where he starred for Canada, authored a rare "Gordie Howe hat trick," with a goal, an assist and a fight, in his team's 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
