It'll be fascinating to see how the Fleury situation unfolds. For teams in on him, Friedman mentioned MIN, COL (who he adds there's a decent chance Kuemper stays), PIT (who just re-signed DeSmith), and TOR.

If there's one thing TOR can offer that MIN can't is a clear 1/1A role.


With the Lebrun news that MAF was willing to come to TO as well and the fact he lives in Montreal I think this is the most likely addition at any position out there for the Leafs.

I think that it would be down right idiotic to go with Mrazek and if it goes to poop, we can fix it in March.

Holy (frank) Batman. Just stop

Meh, far worse contracts have been dumped. I can see Mrazek being a quality option for someone who needs a stopgap for two years and has money to piss away, Chicago for example.

Hot take: the leafs won't even need a sweetener to dump him. They'll get some 4th line can and the cap space in return.

- joel878

Mrazek is impossible to get rid of but Kerfoot at 750K salary isnt worth squat.

Leaks can come from agents or management. Rumours about Campbell talks could come from Soup’s side or the team. The rumour that Kyle is thinking of going with Mrazek and Kallgren could only be generated internally.

Oh, having a differing opinion and one that makes sense, unlike yours, makes me a goof.

Coming from the clown that says we should go with Mrazek?

Hearing from Campbell's camp that "nothing" is happening is hardly leaked news.

The point was the Leafs brass doesn't leak the way it used to. And it seems like most organizations now work that way. Dreger is essential a pigeon for agents nowadays.

He's a straight up muppet.

Someone on the twitter posted a screenshot of his bullpoop from before Marner signed, talking about offer-sheets and that the Leafs will probably need to give him over $11M to make it work.

(frank)ing muppet.

How long did keefe coach for prior to getting bumped up to the nhl?
Was Benoit allaire a good goalie?
Being a good goalie doesnt make you a good coach and vice versa.
Gotta get your start sometime, i would think the leafs did their homework

Hopefully

- Fakepartofme


Sure but Keefe coached his team to the Calder Cup at the AHL level and my point was Sanford wasn't a good NHL goalie and hasn't got much in the way of success as a goalie coach to show. So to me he has neither.

I get it - you need to get your start somewhere but with a specialized positional coach I'm not sure I want Toronto to be the place where that comes.

I guess we will see, I'll be happy to be wrong on this but I also find it a bit odd to hire a goalie coach with a big ? on who your goalie or goalies will be. Usually a goalie coach has a style they want their goalies to play, sometimes to a lesser degree, sometimes to a big degree but you would think maybe you want to know who the goalie is so you know what style he plays and perhaps look for a good match? I dunno' just my innner thoughts I guess.

Who cares, harder for goalies to jump into a new system late in season.

Small sample size, MAF is a good goalie and played well on a poop Chicago team all season.

Loved Cogs as a Duck... not the greatest finisher.. but stays in tip top shape and will have great wheels till the end. Great PK'er also. Couldn't be happier for him.

We just are not on the same page here...

He was brought to a very very good Wild team for one reason only... and he failed pretty miserably.

Huh? He had a .910 and .906 in playoffs.

Wasn't amazing but I sure as hell do not put much stock into a goalie jumping in late to a new system come playoff time. GM's don't either and want proof? Look at he cost of TDL adds in the past from goalies.

He's 38 years old. How many 38 year old goaltenders are still carrying their teams to cups?

Hard pass.

He must have killed the interview.. or someone high up vouched for what they see in him ... perhaps he's a great communicator or teacher... does seem odd to bring him into the pressure cooker that is Leafland where the biggest obstacle to success has been the goalie these past few years...

a 40 year old took a team 3 more rounds than 27 other NHL teams...And this 38 year old is much better.

Silly way to look at things in my opinion. Its all based off talent.

Why do you even come here? Seriously if you think others (me for sure) don't see the BS trash talking you do about the Leafs and Leaf Fans in other blogs and somehow think when you come in here you are just here to "talk hockey" you're wrong.

The tolerance level for you and your crap here is at an all time low so I'd suggest you either stop coming in here entirely or if you do refrain from anything that even remotely resembles trolling.
