I'm just showing how I'd like the lineup. If we were to trade for a top pairing Dman, and sign Morris....Gunnarsson is not needed, nor is Gleason....but we're stuck with him.

But you want to sign a worse player for the same $ as the better player you're replacing.

Better to keep the better player with the same cap hit.

why does Morris have to replace Gunnarson?
if you could get him on a 2 year deal around 2.5 you can keep both

The Leafs should keep the exact same players as last season. They're all so good an irreplaceable.

God I hope not, just fire him already

Once the finals are over and the dust settles he will be fired...

MLSE didn't just hire Shanahan and pay him who knows how many millions a year to let the team stay status quo... Changes are coming and the coach will be the first.

I really want to see this team play with a different coach before they go trading Gardiner, Gunnarson and Kadri these are players that are 23 and 27 ... for 36 year old players who we dont even know can play much better.

we tried last 2 seasons the build a RC team... they suck

The better questions to ask are...

1. Does Morris want to continue playing?
2. Does he want to come here at all?

From what I've seen he prefers his desert and won't be moving unless traded at a deadline...again where he didn't do much to help his teams win.

If every coach were available, who do you think would be the best fit for the Leafs' roster right now? Who can coach this group to their fullest potential?

I wonder if they just are staying quiet while the Raptors are in the playoffs. So they don't steal their thunder.

He plays with an edge, he hits, he fights, he defends. He isn't soft. He provides leadership and experience. He can also chip in offensively, contrary to your belief. He plays with more poise, and also adds more stability on the backend. Yes, he is 35....something we need on such a young team, something that would benefit the likes of Gardiner and Rielly. Gunnarsson provides average defense, with pretty much nothing else. And now I am done explaining.

Good.... you're terrible at it.

Gunner has more hits, more blocks, scores more is a +6 VS morris's -22 (last 4 years). So yeah, I'll keep the better player.

I don't think you need another coach to figure what Gunnarson is......
Gardiner absolutely...

But Kadri? He had a good season?

I am not sure what you are trying to say
