The only reason the leafs haven’t done better in playoffs is because of the 3 men in front of the cameras this morning. They have known the weaknesses of this team for years and have failed to address them. And then, to satisfy the appetite of the fans and medias for someone to blame, they sacrificed Keefe. Leafs management is an embarrassment!! Too corporate!!! The first mistake they made was to sign JT!!! They were desperate, the three other core players were young and JT would take them to the promise land immediately, Mistake!!! Money should have been spent on goaltending and defence, they would have won a cup by now and be contending every year. Now it’s MM that is going to be the next sacrifice, a very talented player that needed to be surrounded by the right type of players. Management failed, short and sweet! I wouldn’t give up on MM, but would ship JT ( if he agrees ) far far away. Give this team back to the youth, get the goalie and D players, it’s not too late!

Ummmm, one of those three guys has been in the organization a year and another guy has only been there for a few weeks.

Chicago - S.Jones (frank) off

St.Louis - C.Parayko, P.Buchnevich meh

Islanders - R.Pulock, O.Wahlstrom (frank) off

Seattle - A.Larsson, W.Borgen, J.Oleksiak, O.Bjorkstrand, A. Burakovsky, S.Wright - not bad

Columbus - B.Jenner, D. Jiricek, K.Marchenko, C.Sillinger, K.Johnson - meh

LAK - PL.Dubois, B.Clarke - (frank) off

Anaheim- T.Zegras, T.Luneau, D.Helleson - meh

There are other options and all the players listed can be replaced by picks if that’s how it has to go.

In all seriousness, what don't you like about Gilmour as coach? Is it strictly his lack of NHL-level experience, or something else? The lack of experience is not nothing though.

It smacks of Edmonton and their love affair with ex players.

I know, but they are all part of the corporate image of the leafs…they all agreed on letting keefe go.. and I’m sure that no GM has the final word on the roster of this team. Personally, Shanahan should have been the first to go.

Glad you made it back to the North safely...I was thinking you would be freaking out though eh - What if your boy does get traded?
- Big23Questions

Thanks!

Glad to be back.

Idk man, I’m really just not that into it anymore. After they lost game 7 I haven’t really been thinking much about it.

I just come here to get the freaks riled up, then I bugger off

Very well said.

The donkeys in here need an outsider’s perspective.

Can’t blame Tre and Pelly, but Shanny is a fraud.

They haven’t surrounded their star players with the right support. That’s the main issue.

Well not really. You were referencing half the truth. Like your views on pretty much everything. Half informed...Unlike Bert who fully informed himself and ended up getting fully vaxxed.

"Police have charged 24-year-old Christon Arman Johnson of Brampton and 21-year-old Anas Adan Farah of Toronto."

Actually, its your passive aggressive racist posts getting in your way again.

You poop head racist. How about you stick to telling everyone about:

1. How incredibly rich you are - cause that's totally what super wealthy people do...definitely not middle-class gangsters trying hard.

2. How many Masters you have

3. Green Egg. Say Green Egg again. It has the making of a killer drinking game - every time the obviously chubby divorced racist says Green Egg take a shot.

4. How you won a made up trophy - All Ontario for Hockey (that one kills me eh)

5. How wildly lonely, nonathletic, and insecure you are...Well your posts tell me that anyways

Major solar flares headed this way right now. The light show should be amazing.
- GalacticStone


Its at a KP 9 right now. Next flare hits our side (first hit europe an was southward facing causing extreme tear and red aurora) and should be a hell of a show. Might get down to tampa at this rate.

My least favourite but Kings can’t take on the $10.9 if Mitch agreed to be traded there. Dubois is immature but he turns 26 in June and his contract runs out when he is 32. High risk, potentially very low reward.
- Strider


It's OK. Montreal wants him bad. We can flip him for a 2nd rounder, or a young D. Then see how chipper Scabeh and Symba are.

23rd pick

Charlie Elick
EJ Emery

Henry Mews
Dominik Badinka

- Strider


Big no to Mews, just my opinion...... Badinka sounds like the guy. Wish we could trade up for Richardenson. He is going to be a stud.

He was carjacked in Etobicoke - not Brampton.

Yeah but the guy was from Brampton

Shanahan talked about being responsible and being held accountable? How exactly has he ever been held “accountable”. Just more words from a president whom has shown an inability to get this team to the next level.

Accountable?

The more I think about it the more I’d do it.

Also Florida putting it to Boston so far is extra sweet.

Ok, hear me out.

Doug Gilmour as head coach.

He's already involved with the team. He has coaching experience. He has immense respect from the players and fanbase.

Ok, it's a risky move. He's never coached at the NHL level. But, has coached the minors and was an assistant for the Marlies. He's not just a pee wee coach like Marty St. Louis when he got the Montreal job.

Give him this coming season to demonstrate his coaching chops. If it doesn't pan out, you jettison a core member after Tavares/Marner's contracts are up and hire one of the same old names we keep hearing again and again.
