About time. Thank baby Jesus.

I don't understand how captain data Chayka could even remotely entertain the notion of keeping Berube around. All I keep hearing is how charming he is and how everyone just loves him. Really?

I love how Vegas is the shadiest franchise in the league but somehow is a model everyone should follow.

So Edmonton is trying to talk to Cassidy and hasn't fired their own head coach. So things are just as stable there as they are here it seems.

Meh. I don't care. He's otherwise useless. I can't stand him. In other news it sounds like Shane Doan is out.

I don't care what he does to get him off the team. Buy out, drop him off in the woods, send him on a rocket... Whatever.

What makes me think that this report might real is that his agent hasn't come out and said a single thing.

To be honest I don't see Tuch leaving buffalo - especially for Toronto. But we'll see I guess.

Making him captain was another unforced Treliving error. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Tavares as captain. Nothing about Matthews screamed out leader and that this needed to be done ASAP. To be honest I was surprised that he was team USA's captain.

Yes I get that. But essentially the post was suggesting you're replacing Knies with Tuch. I'm just very apprehensive to trade Knies. The leafs haven't had any kind of power forward since what? Roberts? Nolan? He's one of the few guys that can actually perform in the playoffs. For me the trade...

Why would you give up knies, who's almost 7 years younger? This is the exact opposite of rebuilding.

Why isn't Hyman ever looked back as a 'problem' rather than 'the one that got away'?

Carolina is really just steamrolling through the playoffs. Must be nice to not have to face Boston Tampa or Florida out of the gate every season.

I don't like all this innuendo and rumour talk but if your best player doesn't respect the coach then this seems to be an open and shut case to say goodbye to Berube. You can easily replace a coach, you can't easily replace a Matthews.

Great goaltending did.

I dream that somehow they can swindle Edmonton to take on Stolarz. I'd even be fine if they did some salary retention.

For sure - except this kind of trade will never happen again.

https://grantland.com/the-triangle/were-no-1-the-history-of-trading-the-nhls-top-pick/ Just something to think about.

That maybe you only get 2-4 years out of depending on contract and UFA status. And keep in mind I'm not talking about Kessel as a player here - I'm just using this as an analogy.

You also realize by getting an established player you're likely losing 5-7 years as that player will likely be 24+ years old. It's the Kessel falacy again but sub a defenceman for Kessel in this case.
