Did Chris Drury's failure to unload popular Vin Trocheck at the Trade Deadline awaken the season-long slumbering Blueshirts to action? 2. Has "Hat Trick" – formerly Alexis Lafrenière suddenly blossoming into a First Draft phenom from being a First Draft Flub? 3. Is Noah Laba the "New Jewel From Northville, Michigan?" ANSWERS: 1. If Trocheck's not being traded is anyone's idea of a "Wakeup Call," the Seattle-Honolulu bridge should be finished yesterday. 2. Formerly Lafrenière has turned impressive. The Maven will be even more impressed when Monsieur Hat Trick becomes a Three-Red Lamplighter against a serious hockey team. Maven Round Table ace Mark Linde believes that being thrust into a more important role has energised Lafrenière. (I'll buy that until next season starts.) 3. YES!
