I finally agree with Lebrun. He's a Cowboys fan though, so he still sucks.

They could still do preseason first week of September, start the season in 2nd week of September, voila, season would already be done by now.

NHL is so stupid. Start the season in September, finish in May, not that difficult.

Probably right, they seem to do what it takes when there's a player they want.

Two more weeks until we find out where Richie Mitch ends up.

Don't listen to this guy, he's an idiot.

I think the Oilers have this now. Coming back from 0-3 on the road and winning that game is huge. Anything can still happen but I predict Oilers win game 5, and then they have 2 chances to close it out.

Man he was terrible on HNIC and I kept thinking if he sounds like that all the time he'd be a terrible coach. I hope I'm wrong about his coaching ability for the Leafs sake

Pretty much as expected.

Eventually

They won't get much in a "trade signing rights" away since Marner would only be able to sign a 7 year deal with another team in that instance. If the Leafs do a "sign-and-trade", that means they can give him an 8 year deal and ship him off to the team he wants, the return would be slightly...

Found this beauty on YouTube For context, the Leafs began that season 1-11 I was in grade 11 at the time, the abuse I used to take as a Leafs fan in high school. I can't believe I managed to survive this.

It was widely speculated in the press that there was a rift between Shanahan and Dubas on the direction of the team. After Dubas was canned, Shanahan phoned the core 4 and assured them they weren't going to be traded.

That was a whole lot of nothing

And Dubas was ready to make a splash and trade Marner 2 years ago, and wasn't' allowed to. We'll never know if he could have improved the team with that trade, but here we are 2 years later no further ahead.

She asked the one question nobody else had the guts to: What exactly did Shanahan do wrong? If his role was truly just “President,” then isn’t it the GM who should be accountable for the roster? You don’t blame the figurehead when the ship hits the iceberg—you blame the captain. But Pelley won’t...

Will someone ask why replacing Shanahan makes a difference now? If Treliving oversees the team, shouldn't he be able to shape the roster with or without a president? He said they made great strides under Shanahan - 9 straight playoff years, - so why is moving on from Shanny the right move now...

I think all the Dubas haters probably owe him an apology. He never actually got the make the decisions, it was Shanahan overseeing everything the entire time.

A real leader in management would have identified the failure of these guys to come through years ago and broken up the core. It's a difficult move but it had to be done, the mix just isn't working.

New president and gm
