2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

So just reading about MLSE, it appears this year Rogers has an option to buy Tanenbaum out of his 25% share of MLSE. At that point they will own all the major sports franchises in Toronto. At that point, maybe they disband MLSE and operate each of the franchises under their own thing, or maybe they roll the Jays under MLSE. Anyways, once Rogers owns them all 100%, I wonder if there is some sort of shakeup.
I mean Rogers already has the majority of MLSE, nothing Tannenbaum could really do to stand in the way of them appointing a president for the Leafs if they really wanted to. Not sure how buying him out will change anything.

True, I think they neutered his votes back when Bell was a part of the equation anyways. I was just reading this blurb on Wikipedia (Almost typed Wilipedia. That's just a site for William Nylander fans? Right? Right?):

The Leafs will probably need to go 16-10-2 over their last 28 games to have a chance to make the playoffs.
That results in .555 pts win% for the season.
Boston is currently in the last wildcard spot with .609 pts win%
There are a whole bunch of teams between the Leafs and Boston
So the chances of .555 making the playoffs are not great.

This site calculates 5% chance for Leafs making the playoffs

This site 5.2% chance

This site 2.5% chance

This site 11%

This site 11%

My guess is that 2.5% - 5% might be too high but are closer to reality and they'll have to do a lot better than .555 pts win% to make it.
 
I have to say that I am disappointed. It seemed obvious that they would not be as good a team without Marner but I didn't expect them to be this poor/bad.
 
I think I’ve worked out why the Leafs are losing.

One of the players kids has gone back to the future and inadvertently changed the past and caused a glitch in the Leafs real present. And that’s why our defence has been full of holes.




Or else the fake digital ad boards just glitched.
 
I was just listening to the pre game show on tsn1050 in the car and I'm not sure who was talking but you'd think they were tuning up for the playoffs and gearing up for a long run by saying stuff like 'they are in the market for a top end forward and top end defender'.

Sure Jan.

Who isn’t in the market for those things, really? Every team could use more top end talent.

It wouldn’t shock me if the Leafs sold some sort term pieces and bought a longer term one or two. Sometimes, the deadline creates opportunities that you need to take advantage of.
