Do we know how long his contract is?

Yeah I get that. And if that's the case than he's been elevated to Tkachuk douchebag territory.

I don't understand this report that Matthews.is 'not sure he'll come back'. What does that even mean? He's got a contract.

If they bring the Wendy's salad bar back.... Maybe?

I'm trying but no part of my brain can rationalize this hire. I want to be optimistic but the evidence is overwhelming against it.

I just heard the Simmons question, and in all honesty he can shove himself up his own ass. I'm not crazy about this hiring at all, but what did he really think he was going to accomplish by asking this? That Pelley would just come out and say 'you know what, I guess I made a bad choice. Thank...

Fair enough - I don't completely agree but I get your point.

Honestly I just don't get this structure at all.

But they just did recycle a GM.

Because Pelley is an executive idiot. I don't want to get into a rant but I've worked just under the executive level in financial services for over 25 years and I can't begin to explain the stupid decisions these guys make, and Pelley sounds exactly like alot of the people I've had to deal...

How so if Chayka reports to Pelley?

That's a pretty weird title for Sundin. I want to give this choice the benefit of the doubt, but gut wise this just doesn't sit right. I feel like we're entering JFJ 2.0.

Looks like Hyman was back to leafs playoff numbers without McDavid to prop him up.

Not that I'm defending any of this but he did trade Domi once. The thing that has me nervous is the possibility that Berube is back to start the season. Although who knows, the way things are shaping up maybe Tucker is the next leafs coach and Corson as assistant.

I don't know why this came to mind, but I was thinking that other than Shanahan, the leafs have never had a true 'president of hockey operations'. They all had the dual titles of GM and POHO. The closest was Dryden I think, and he even named himself GM for a while. I don't really have a point...

So basically Pelley just a late 90s early 2000 fanboy.

You'd think that maybe the leafs learned their lesson when they hired a GM who's former team refused to deal with him - so why not up the ante and go for a GM that the league has issues with. It's not like the league is always looking at the leafs with extra scrutiny. Genius potential hiring.

Who is 'we'? If you're referring to the leafs, my comment has absolutely nothing to do with the leafs.

Listening to the fan just now they're bending over backwards to defend the sens. You'd think this series went 7 games with 5 overtimes they way they are talking.

I'd be way more comfortable with Futa then Chayka. At least I won't have to hear the 'when I was with the kings' stories anymore on the radio.
