A lot of talk about how the Leafs need to get better for Matthews, which is totally fair, but it leaves out a big part of the puzzle which is that Matthews needs to be better for the Leafs too. Clear the slate of excuses for next season, he needs to get back to his 50-goal (at least) scoring...

If we were picking 2 after McKenna I'd probably lean a little towards Reid and Malhotra over Stenberg anyway. I don't think this is even a debate at 1.

As excited as I am for McKenna, it does feel very Leafy to get the 1st overall pick in a year sandwiched between two potential franchise defencemen going (or likely going) 1st overall. But yeah I think you just keep the pick.

Thank you Chayka.

I think if we're trying to look at it from this type of angle my guess would be it was less about salary and more about Sundin's involvement. It's quite clear Pelley and/or MLSE wanted Mats involved in a big way before the true "search" even happened. I wouldn't be all that shocked if at least...

If the Leafs win a Cup with him (very, very unlikely I know) MLSE is going to make over a million dollars off shirts with an image of Chayka lifting the Cup and the caption "con artist, liar, salesman".

I'm pretty happy that this should be the last time we have to see Keith Pelley for awhile.

Steve Simmons in particularly has on numerous occasions over the years, including inside a recent article criticizing Chayka, said that the Leafs should have given these guys second chances.

Not my first choice, but I can definitely give it a shot. Heck I put on a brave face for the Treliving hire and so how bad can this be. Chayka represents a lot of the qualities I wanted in a GM. His brand got tarnished in Arizona and I always felt like he deserved a chance to prove himself...

I'd love (hate) to see a head to head match-up between who's been mismanaged more: Edmonton or Toronto.

I've been surprised Woodcroft hasn't been able to find another head coach job yet. His firing always seemed not totally justified. His work as an assistant with the Ducks might finally get him back into the head coaching ranks. He'd even be an interesting option here.

I bailed after the first OT but shocked Utah couldn't pull it off. On paper this shouldn't even really be this close, especially since Vejmelka has been fine but not exactly carrying the Mammoth. Yamamoto and Carcone, two smaller guys, were flying for Utah last night. Schmaltz also looked even...

I'd say that it was a pretty rare thing until I'd guess like 2010-ish. Even now it's not like it's super wide spread, I'm taking this information from what Keith Pelley said at his press conference after letting Treliving go so maybe it's not even right but he said 12 teams have a POHO and a GM...

Yeah and that's fine but I do think it's worth bringing up the "what would you say you do here" question to the probably very expensive search firm if the two leading candidates didn't really come from them and the interviews are being led by Pelley and Teherany.

Bringing back the alternate jerseys from that time would buy at least a little bit of good will.
