He's more of a capologist than a guy who can run a team. I'm not sure we want his first kick at the can to be as important a deadline as this one could very well be.

Yup. There's no rebuilding for the Leafs until 27/28 at the earliest, unless Boston and/or Philly do the Leafs a huge favour and trade those 1st round picks back. Best we can hope for right now is a proper retool around the current core and goalies.

GMs usually get a pass on the first coach firing - especially if it happens early in their time with the new team - because they didn't hire the guy. And, I'm not advocating for Treliving to stay. I'd can him as soon as the season ended (though, I have my doubts whether a team would can both GM...

I think it has to happen the other way. Berube first, see what the team is like under a more puck possession focused style and if (when?) that fails, dump Treliving. Easier to replace a coach during the season than a GM.

OEL brings back a 1st if the Leafs move him.

Outlook unclear.

Or have some serious lottery luck

Small fine incoming.

I take even more issue with this one

I take issue with this comment.

Sure, but that’s not likely to happen. Not in a meaningful way. I doubt any significant changes happen mid season

1-4-2 in their last seven, to essentially kill any playoff hopes. Can’t rebuild without their own 1st round picks for two of the next three years. Gotta hope they can’t turn things around under a new coach next year.

I’d say working through that is what separates the good players from the great ones. Marner is a good player, no question. He has yet to truly show greatness.

He did and he didn't. He was very productive early in series before things really tighten up. Once they did, he - and most of the rest of the roster, to be fair - very much did suck. Also, on the PP (like everyone, except, in this case, he was largely the QB, so, his inability to adapt had a...

Time to give Villeneuve a shot finally?

Typical NHL calibre officiating. Nothing to see here. :ROFLMAO:

There's going to be competition for him, so, cheap is a relative term here. Leafs don't have the assets to get into any kind of bidding war.

Weird to see the Sharks as buyers...

Better Vegas than Boston.

I suspect the injury history between Will and Stolarz pushes that decision to the offseason. Goalies have more value in the summer, typically. Playoff teams are generally not looking to pay for a starter at the deadline.
