It's going to be deeper cuts than the coaching staff.

I doubt it, unless the room is broken.
A little female doging on the bench doesnt mean anything.
In sports, teammates vent/female dog often during poopty times.

Im all for change....but not sure it occurs

For normal fanbases.
Not this one.
Look how horny people get about reg season results, goals, streaks on here.
They quickly forget about playoffs results, cause its "a new year".

Im all for big change, but other than the coach and staff, i doubt they move off the core

Besides, the leafs win the next 3 games lol.

Zezel.... that you...

Just because their bottom line won’t suffer with first round losses doesn’t mean that they won’t do what they can to turn 5hings around. There’s not a lot they can do this summer anyway, other than bringing in a new Bertuzzi, Domi, etc.
- Canada Cup

So, exactly what they've done for the past 4 years.

What means something is a core that has proven repeatedly it cannot win, and will not win, but asking people to pay the highest prices in the league. They have to have a product they can sell. You can't sugarcoat this.

See willy and the boys already shrugging off "spat" on bench.

Hasn’t that been what they’ve been doing for the last 5 years ?? bringing in the new Domi Bertuzzi…. Reevo, Klankburg… Rearranging the chairs without addressing the actual issue…

Everyone on the core has a NMC. There’s not much else to do this summer.

Some will continue to advocate for the minor tinkering done around the edges without the major surgery that needs to be performed to build a Team that can win in the postseason... it was what, 3 yrs ago that is was all about April.... spouted by the core 4 and more that hey don't worry we can turn it on when it counts...

Honestly, i agree with what youre saying and normally it would be true for any other team.
Ive been saying for years that matthews, marner, willie dont seem to have what it takes when push comes to shove.....and i would just get dumped on.
This team has been in worse spots and still sold out. They can easily sell a 100pt reg season product.....with a new coaching staff

Also, they're gonna win the next 2-3 games.
Its the leafs way

His next job will be with the pens.
Dubas is stroking with anticipation
- Fakepartofme

He’ll get hired to coach the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and win the damn Calder Cup again lol

The core all have nmc's, so they dictate things.
And no, the coaching staff wont play any of them on the 4th line or make things difficult to force them to want to leave. Thats not reality

The series aint over yet!!!

Yeah us!!!

This core needs to be broken up. Unless they magically win their next three games anyone who thinks otherwise is truly dreaming.

The scheduling is horrible, another 2 full day break between games?

You guys are too convinced a NMC means no trades. All it means is that in order for the leafs to be able to move them it has to be someplace they would accept going to.

" playing with the urgency to force a game 5 through 40 minutes "

ouch

They needed to be broken up years ago.

But need to be and will be....are different things.

- Canada Cup

They will have a substantial amount of money coming off the books. 1st thing is to realize the Reevo mistake and correct that...

Let 16 know in no uncertain terms this is what we will give you or he can walk.
Go get an actual #1 goalie ... because as of now Woll ain't it. Could he be one day .. maybe...

Really there is no one on the D that would be immune from being cast aside... So plenty of opportunity for additions there.

This core is now under their 3rd GM… if the leafs don’t move them it’s time to fire Shanny

It's not as much a deal breaker as people seem to make it out to be. There may be spots that guys may want to go to where the glare isn't a blinding as in TO.

Im not convinced of that at all. We've seen peeps with NMC get moved before.
But the leafers dictate their destiny and most likely means the return wont be much.
If the leafs win the next game, you'll probably see the core back.

But we'll see.

They can stil get traded, they'll just dictate where.

And that may need to occur first.

There were empty seats in that building at the end of the Phaneuf-Kessel era, bud.

At this point, its really only Mitch to be moved.
Tre just extended willy and Matthews and i doubt he does JT dirty.

We'll see.

Leafs win the next 2-3 games.
