2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

rdowdall said:
So just reading about MLSE, it appears this year Rogers has an option to buy Tanenbaum out of his 25% share of MLSE. At that point they will own all the major sports franchises in Toronto. At that point, maybe they disband MLSE and operate each of the franchises under their own thing, or maybe they roll the Jays under MLSE. Anyways, once Rogers owns them all 100%, I wonder if there is some sort of shakeup.

I mean Rogers already has the majority of MLSE, nothing Tannenbaum could really do to stand in the way of them appointing a president for the Leafs if they really wanted to. Not sure how buying him out will change anything.

True, I think they neutered his votes back when Bell was a part of the equation anyways. I was just reading this blurb on Wikipedia (Almost typed Wilipedia. That's just a site for William Nylander fans? Right? Right?):

The Leafs will probably need to go 16-10-2 over their last 28 games to have a chance to make the playoffs.

That results in .555 pts win% for the season.
Boston is currently in the last wildcard spot with .609 pts win%
There are a whole bunch of teams between the Leafs and Boston
So the chances of .555 making the playoffs are not great.

My guess is that 2.5% - 5% might be too high but are closer to reality and they'll have to do a lot better than .555 pts win% to make it.
 
I have to say that I am disappointed. It seemed obvious that they would not be as good a team without Marner but I didn't expect them to be this poor/bad.
