Someone linked me to Howard Berger's post too saying his "sources" say a California team is offering two firsts for Matthews. I don't know what sources Howard Berger has given he works as a funeral director now, but whatever.

Darren Dreger is hearing rumblings

Will be interesting to see the media spin on this, even Oilers fans aren't happy about this hiring

I'll expect 5 first round picks

3 first round picks? Is he suddenly Gretzky?

Not sure where to mention this but Steve Paikin, big Leafs fan, is making a Bill Barilko documentary. He posted a video a couple days back on Facebook making a trek to the crash site where Barilko's plane went down. Mentioned the doc should be ready for the spring. Looking forward to this.

Yeah aside from Cowan and the goalies I know there aren't any potential big names, but hopefully 2-3 guys can turn into depth players on the cheap. Lord knows Leafs have been searching for that forever

I hope there are some young guys on the Marlies that can turn into players for the Leafs

That's the heavy rumour BUT so far the media has missed on everything until it's actually happened. In Chayka's presser today he mentioned they value being able to keep information internal and it gives them an advantage while doing their job. So that said, who knows if Rielly will actually get...

I still can't believe Simmons said that with Chayka and his family sitting right in front of him. I mean I believe it, and yet I don't believe it.

So right now we have McCabe, Raddysh, Andrae ,OEL, Tanev, Carlo, Rielly, Myers More moves coming

Chayka has made more moves in a few days than Treliving did for most of last season

Yeah, post draft and free agency we'll get a sense of where this team might be at. I expect some more trades soon, or maybe on draft day.

There seems to be quite a bit of positive reaction to this hire in the media. Not sure what to make of it. 🤣

I get that, but in the Leafs reality, one of Stolarz/Woll would probably get hurt early so not a concern. I would have waited in the off chance that Stolarz started the season hot, and then trade him to a team that suddenly has goalie issues once the season is underway. Anyway, that ship has sailed.

Why couldn't they carry 3 goalies? Other teams have done it and the Leafs have cap room.

I dunno. I think the team was not as bad as they played last season. It was obvious they had checked out on Berube and it showed on the ice. So while a lot of people are doom and gloom, I think a few smart moves, and a progressive coach and this team can be fighting for a playoff spot. At...

I actually see this as a positive. If all the usual suspects had no idea who they were actually going to hire, it means the leaks are closed up. I prefer that than the alternative where every Dreger is constantly leaking info before the Leafs ever do anything. Maybe they can operate without...

That's what I thought, insider fail.

Was Hiller even one of the names that the media was speculating on? I recall Cassidy, Roy, Woodcroft, Pavelski among others, but I don't think I heard Hiller before today.
