So, we have given up on Goat, but Kadri will still turn into something.. Holy crap.

Let Shanahan figure that out. Hopefully, for me, it's Hunter.
- systemtool

Does Hunter have any NHL GM experience?
I dont believe so.

You need someone with experience handling the Kessel and Phaneuf trades if neither are dealt by the deadline.

Sound alike a reason to name him head scout... Not GM.

Kinda like JFJ.

No, let him gather up the kids,,,,, for Mike to coach.

Kessel today for Huberdough and Luongo....

How could he do worse than the ones before him. FFS, I could do as bad as the ones before him.

Magic 8 ball, who do I draft ??

I agree, if anyone knows these kids, it should be him.
- bixll

So he should head of scouting not the GM.

Big difference.

I'm not saying he won't fail, but he's my pick as of now.

No Nhl experience but tons in the Chl.

If we're gonna tank and rebuild, and want prospects back for those two,I trust hunter more than Nonis to make that call of who we take back.

Only the one about Babcock to the Leafs, and we are waiting.

There's more to being a GM than just drafting. Drafting you rely mostly on your scouts info.

Yes and no. Scours advise the GMs but aN arrogant or ignorant Gm may brush him off and make his own pick.

Let the guy learn on the job. The plan for next couple of years should be nothing more than youth, prospects, development and drafting. He can do those things better than anyone that is likely to be available. Plus this team has 900000 assistants to help him along.

Oh, I would follow the mould that Nonis has forged.... And then do the opposite.

Let's be honest: why?

They've got cap guys, they've got legal guys... Hunter just needs to be a hockey guy, and have the other guys help him out with the finer details.


Not that they'd be that much more complicated than what he's dealt with in the CHL.

And it's not like he's a foreigner to scouting... But even if he was, the Leafs have plenty of pro scouts.

End of the day he just needs to be a mouthpiece/salesperson.

I honestly dont believe the leafs will do a full rebuild.
However, even if you are, you still need a GM to make trades and do contracts. Nonis can still go to hunter to inquire about prospects.
I dont believe phil will be traded just yet.

We'll know in the next few months! Should be both a depressing and exciting time, if that makes sense.

And all those assistants should be fired.

Kessel today for Huberdeau , Gudbranson and their 2015 1st ....

FIXED !

- bixll

Kadri is fine, anybody who thought he wouldn't be Mike Ribeiro 2.0 were deluding themselves. That kind of PP heavy 2nd line centre that is kind of a douche. Goat...man, wonder what they do with him next season. He's AHL level defensively already, but he sucks so much balls offensively he might just fall off the map. Hope he does another year in the Q as a 20 year old and murders everyone for his own confidence.

Jokinen still a Leaf?

this team will never be the same when Dion is gone.
