Leafs Front Office 2026-27

[Joe S.]

What's this push for Gillis? He's been out of the league since what 2014? Yeah no thanks.

Fair enough, but then don't opine on not seeing the train coming and start talking about other teams.

He was asked pretty specifically where it went wrong, and gave his very-briefly informed observation, which amounted to a business leader asking his direct reports why they aren’t doing what the competition is doing successfully. To me, that read like an excuse that Treliving (or whoever) gave when explaining the performance gap to Pelley in earlier discussions/check-ins.

He also said the matter of how the team will achieve the overall goal of succeeding is going to be decided by the Head of Hockey Ops, so I don’t really have anything to judge until the hire is made and a plan is outlined.

Stuff to mull (or cry about) for the long weekend

It makes no sense. He named young players on Montreal and Buffalo. If he wants to retool, it's not going to be with young players, it will be with middling, expensive free agents.

Matthews may or may not rebound to MVP calibre, but where is his support coming from even if he does? If that support dosen't come for a couple more years, will he still be MVP calibre then? Sell high!

Yes because Buffalo did it so well and so quick...

It's pretty crazy. 3 years later Shanahan is gone, Trevling is gone, Leafs are a mess, and Dubas is taking a team almost everyone predicted would finish at the bottom of the Metro to the playoffs.

But will they win?
