Jim Paliafito profile: https://theathletic.com/1795980/2020/05/21/meet-the-closer-who-continues-to-deliver-free-agents-to-the-maple-leafs/
He operated in the European leagues and had helped the Leafs land Lehtonen, Barabanov Mikheyev, Zaitsev.

Cam Charron was one of the hockey bloggers that got roped into Dubas' analytics department when he was hired back in 2014.

I would kill for a tell-all book (or blog post) from Cam about his time with the Leafs.

I wonder if he got poached to another team that is employing CanucksArmy alumni.

I trust the organization to replace these guys well but never great when you lose good hockey minds.

Me too. There are many great minds out there. Nothing wrong with change when trying to improve the team.

I am shocked.

Not surprising seeing how we ranked in SV%. Time for a fresh set of eyes.

They should try hiring a goalie coach who tells Mrazek to make more saves.

[herman]

Friedman's 32 Thoughts podcast said a source floated out Michael Leighton, former Flyers goalie, as the name to watch for in the goaltending coach replacement conversation. Leighton is currently with the Windsor Spitfires organization.

Dan Cloutier was another name floated.

Kill me.

"Okay guys, we're taking it back to basics.  First things first.  When the puck goes in the net that you are standing directly in front of, that's bad...."

Kill me.

Must have missed when Dubas said that. There are plenty of guys around that kind of money who would fit the bill if they go that way. Georgiev, Adin Hill, DeSmith, Husso, Reimer, Stolarz, Wedgewood, Holtby, Kahkonen.

[Joe]

I just heard Roger Lajoie on the fan say most leafs fans would would trade rosters with the rangers.

I mean maybe I'm in the minority but, no.
