It's disappointing because I've listened to some of his conversations and he's very intelligent and articulate, but he's increasingly shown no discernment politically, and his spiritual/recovery stuff is sadly infected by a lot of woo woo voodoo. But conspiracy content and woo woo drive clicks these days.

This is exactly why it's frowned upon for celebrities to publicly break 12 Step anonymity as he's done, because when they subsequently publicly go off the rails that's all anyone remembers.

I agree with all of your points. And you’re correct, he can be very articulate, bright, and is gifted with a silver tongue, but he absolutely goes off the deep end.

Perhaps your right that he’s going off the rails. But then again, people are making millions doing what he’s doing, and frankly it might actually be both an easier and better revenue stream than his other ventures, and he can do it from anywhere without travel being an obstacle.

Maybe he knows exactly what he’s doing, and capitalizing on the reactionary public, as we as a people are certainly changing with the strong influence of social media.

What about Marner and a 2023 third for Chychrun and a 2022 second rounder? (Yotes have 4) Saves Leafs over 6M in cap space to get Mikheyev signed. The guy has wheels and I think he's a breakout candidate. It's possible I don't watch the buds enough (how is that possible) to appreciate what Marner and his 10.9M brings to the team. I'd rather a stud D-man

You're right, it's very possible that it's all purely a calculated business move. He did significantly increase his audience by appealing to the lunatic fringe, because although they are a minority, all they do is click youtube videos.

It's definitely disturbing what social media algorithm filter bubbles are doing, and shills feeding that to profit off it are (frank)ed.

Marner lead the NHL in scoring since January. Chychrun is not at that level.

Brand's been expanding into the paranoiac clickbait market for a while now. It's savvy business on his part.

Marner is not going anywhere and if trade to Arizona, they would need to add multiple 2nd rounders, heck skip those, and a 1st (Canes) and Arizona's 2nd round pick coming back to the Leafs with Chychrun.

Looks like Whit isn't a fan of the new Canada ....his timeline encapsulates it unlikely he'll want to come back after that, or at least not to toronto anyways...major yikess




Shameful we are cowards to let it get like this.

He had me with "Leafs rumors", but he lost me when he said Holl is "a quality d-man".

Does this guy actually watch games?

- GalacticStone


He got me with the "Leaf rumors" too, but then goes and say's

'On William Nylander…

The frustration with Nylander is very real at this point and this summer the Leafs are looking to make a series of trades that would move Nylander elsewhere..Seattle, Columbus, and surprisingly Florida all have Nylander on their radar.'


Nylander was third in team scoring with 34g-46a-80pts in 81 games regular season
and lead the team in playoff scoring 5g-3a-8pts in 7 games, where he was the Leaf's most consistent player throughout the playoffs but it is him that they are frustrated with.

Scored 3 goals, 2 when the game was over. Is softer then warm butter…I’m sure Keefe loves him and wants to shoot him to the moon all at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♂️
