In your opinion, if the Leafs were to sign both Kappy and Johnsson and then turn around and say to them; "hey, we think you'd be better in the AHL".
Do you think that they'd both say 'ok sure, thanks coach"

he was a perennial NHL player.
a difficult personality.
surrounding himself with bad characters.

absolutely nothing like young guys like Kapanen en Johnsson.

Obviously you havent watched him play.

He's very good.

It’s my defense mechanism for when he becomes a Bruin.

You only hate Keefe because he’s “Dubas’ guy.” Move along.

If he was a Federov guy he'd think he was the best coach of all time

Pretty much.

I'm explaining why I don't think Keefe would be the best pick for assistant coach or NHL coach with the Leafs organization.
Somehow however, you are pretending to know better on my 'hidden reasons' of saying there are better candidates.

I criticize Dubas (not Keefe!) for not wanting to go for best option, but just going for the 'loyal guy'.

for the record; saying that Keefe isn't the best option for Leafs org as a coach (and criticizing his past actions) isn't the same thing as saying he is a bad person.

Keefe needs to be Leafs coach,

Paul McFarland is only 33 years old. Max must be real pissed with that hire.

Too bad there's a guy blocking that who will be there for some years still.

Unless this team repeats another 1st round exit. Then a change could happen. But only then.

Serious question;

What if McFarland suggests that Matthews gets more PP time, and Babcock say's "not more than Connor Brown"?

Your reasons aren’t hidden. Anything Dubas related is a negative. It’s been that way the moment he was promoted to GM. But I’m sure it’s all a coincidence...

I'd call Max's hate for Dubas anything but 'hidden'

Who cares, man..

Everyone has their guys they don’t like. We all do it.

- PatC80

As long as the system isn't- 1st unit gets 40 seconds, 2nd unit 40 seconds, then 1st unit finishes it off- I'll automatically like it more than this past years system.

Give the 1st unit minimum 1:20.

Trade Matthews

Keep Brown

Easy peasy

Well then I see no choice for Matthews but to beam Babcock in the head with the puck during practice.

OMG...

Can you imagine if he convinces Babcock to deploy all his top players on the first PP unit.

Matthews-Tavares-Nylander-Marner-Rielly.

Not a bad idea.. Matthews has a great shot..

I wonder if McFarland can convince Babcock to encourage the players to move around on the PP as well. Think of how good it could be...
