But they just did recycle a GM.

Because Pelley is an executive idiot. I don't want to get into a rant but I've worked just under the executive level in financial services for over 25 years and I can't begin to explain the stupid decisions these guys make, and Pelley sounds exactly like alot of the people I've had to deal...

How so if Chayka reports to Pelley?

That's a pretty weird title for Sundin. I want to give this choice the benefit of the doubt, but gut wise this just doesn't sit right. I feel like we're entering JFJ 2.0.

Looks like Hyman was back to leafs playoff numbers without McDavid to prop him up.

Not that I'm defending any of this but he did trade Domi once. The thing that has me nervous is the possibility that Berube is back to start the season. Although who knows, the way things are shaping up maybe Tucker is the next leafs coach and Corson as assistant.

I don't know why this came to mind, but I was thinking that other than Shanahan, the leafs have never had a true 'president of hockey operations'. They all had the dual titles of GM and POHO. The closest was Dryden I think, and he even named himself GM for a while. I don't really have a point...

So basically Pelley just a late 90s early 2000 fanboy.

You'd think that maybe the leafs learned their lesson when they hired a GM who's former team refused to deal with him - so why not up the ante and go for a GM that the league has issues with. It's not like the league is always looking at the leafs with extra scrutiny. Genius potential hiring.

Who is 'we'? If you're referring to the leafs, my comment has absolutely nothing to do with the leafs.

Listening to the fan just now they're bending over backwards to defend the sens. You'd think this series went 7 games with 5 overtimes they way they are talking.

I'd be way more comfortable with Futa then Chayka. At least I won't have to hear the 'when I was with the kings' stories anymore on the radio.

I just mean the leaky rumours. There were issues but I didn't feel like they were bumbling. And don't get me wrong, I don't like most of anything lamoriello did while he was here, but the ship was tight if you know what I mean. There weren't loose lips during his tenure. That's what I meant...

I don't understand how you hire them at the same time. If Sundin is in fact POHO then how is the GM decision already made of he himself hasn't accepted any position yet? This franchise really infuriates me. Say what you want about the Dubas and Shanahan era (even Lamoriello), but I never felt...

I'm not happy with this chayka speculation.

Personally I don't think Sundin is being considered for GM. I think it's similar to Shanahan's former position. And if he can build a good team around him I don't see this as a bad thing. Now, Sundin as GM? That's kinda insane.

I mean no one believes this was real right?

Tkachuk 0 goals and 0 assists for a total of 0 points. Maybe he'll talk about that on his podcast and not focus on what's happening in Toronto.

I think Scherzer is battling age.

All I remember hearing prior to the start of the playoffs was 'ohhh I wouldn't want to face the senators' and 'no one wants the senators in the first round' Seeing a tkachuk lose gives me a little bit of pleasure after this garbage season. I wonder when he's going to start crying for a trade...
