Who knew that at the trading deadline, two of the biggest stories in Leafland would be Ian White and Dominic Moore?

White, 24, didn’t even get into the Leafs' first 10 games. Dennis Hull used to tell the story of Hawks coach Billy Reay asking him to jump on the ice and keep an eye on Gordie Howe. "I can see him just fine from here," Hull replied and no one has ever doubted the sense of that. In the early days of the season, Wilson's favourite spot to watch White was the press box. Now the Winnipeg native is tied for a career-high eight goals and his ice time careens between 24 and 30 minutes an evening.

"I found out I played 30 minutes (Feb. 21 against Vancouver) about a week after," White said. "It was the first time in my career I ever cracked that barrier. It's nice to know you can be relied on."
