If it was up to me I'd be trading McCabe, OEL, Roy and Laughton to start. And if Stolarz ever comes back I'd listen to what you can get for him. For sure some playoff teams will pay a good price for those guys. Tank this season and hope for that high pick. But I have absolutely no faith in...

How is bunting more noticeable than Matthews?

I absolutely agree with your first statement. But personally, I never thought Matthews skill set matches gilmour from a talent perspective, if anything Marner is the closest I've seen as a match talent wise. As a leader though, you are correct, neither comes close. My favourite all time...

I agree with you you on the captaincy, that was an unforced error. There was no reason to take it away from Tavares. But to trade him at his apex is a bit crazy. He was right there with the top 5 players in the league. It didn't look like this dramatic drop off was on the horizon at all.

This feels like the neverending wait for the return of Yukevich.

I get that but if he had been playing all out all game (he or the team) and were just being stymied at every opportunity and they finally broke through, then yeah I can get that reaction. But they slept walked through the game and fell ass backwards into that win. This isn't college football...

I always give stellick a pass because I don't think he was anymore than a puppet and he pretty much acknolwges it and admits he probably never should have had the job. As opposed to Burke who is a self professed genius.

You know who never did anything like that - Sundin. And quite frankly I don't think Tavares would do anything like that. If this was game 6 in the playoffs - fine. But a random Tuesday in December when the team has been playing like shit? That's lame.

I 100% felt the same way when I saw Matthews do that. My immediate thought was 'seriously?'

I want Treliving gone but he's not worse that JFJ. He hasn't really made that 'set the franchise back a decade' move like JFJ did. JFJ and Floyd Smith are in a league by themselves as incompetent Leafs GMs.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering this correctly but didn't Dubas want to attempt to trade Marner in the window that was availabke and Shanahan blocked him? I think that's why he was looked for autonomy and that led to his departure. Not sure if that's entirely accurate but that's what I remember.

The thing with Burke is you could see he had a plan. It didn't work but you can see the logic of what he wanted to accomplish. It just that his biggest move backfired so spectacularily that it was hard to recover from. I'm not a Burke fan, but he wasn't incompetent like the other goofballs...

His tenure was short as well but yeah he was a dunderhead. But I loathed JFJ.

He's the worst since JFJ. I'd go that far. Fletcher 2.0 was brutal, but the tenure was super short.

Look I was crazy for gilmour as everyone else was back then, but let's be realistic here, gilmour had 2 monster regular seasons and playoffs surrounded by a very good rest of his career. The player he was in 92-94 was not his whole career.

If the 4 nations was any indication, it'll be more of the same.

They put 3 by him. Not exactly championahip calibre. That being said I'm pretty much at 80% checked out on this team.

Tanev getting a second opinion can't be good.

Honestly sometimes I feel like Nylander may be just sticking it to Berube. Berube is always calling Nylander out yet you've got domi over there who does fuck all, is a dumpster fire defensively, and gets rewarded with first line time and not a word spoken about him. I'd be annoyed to if I was...

Why would he hold any grudges to the team that gave him a luxury retirement contract?
