<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>What was the coaching carousel rumor?

Keefe to PIT
Sullivan to NJD
Green to OTT
Jacques Martin to TOR</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Yea I dont see Jacques coming

MLSE is probs waiting to see what happens with Brind'Amour as with the news Leafs are also assessing their assistants you can kind of see the writing on the wall

May see the entire CAR coaching staff here and be paid very handsomely

As would be just pocket change for MLSE lul</div></div>

Berube to Toronto just feels obvious to me. Kind of like Treliving last year. It’s not a lock but I’d be a little surprised to see them go in any other direction based on how many boxes he checks off

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>It is. It's a window into his mind and it's not good. He sees himself as bigger than anything else. He's probably a decent teammate but he's pretty immature. He's gotta go.

Take a look at a few cities and decide where you want to go. But its not here anymore. Doesn't matter if you are a local boy, god complexes are for somewhere else.</div></div>

Another thing to add, it’s not like it just slipped out. If you watch the interview you can see he says “here in Toronto… (he paused and tried to think of the right word), we get treated, well, like Gods”. This wasn’t a misspeak or it just slipping out. He knew exactly what he was saying. And that makes it 10 times worse

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsForLife</b></div><div>Seeing a lot of stuff on this forum on whether or not the Core 4 would succeed in the playoffs under different coaching (HC and all ACs). What would everyone think of this idea:
Obviously, fire entire coaching staff. Since Tavares’ and Marner’s contracts end next year, they have 1 year to prove it was the coaching that was the problem. If the Leafs follow this plan and go on a run, that’s great. If not, their contracts are off the books.
If you don’t like this idea, fair enough, but explain why you think it wouldn’t work.</div></div>

If it truly is going to be the last year for Marner and Tavares, fine. I just know if they’re kept around they’re probably going to get resigned, which would be a horrible idea

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>I'm sorry... But when you are talking about him playing through concussions or MCL sprains... I can't agree here...

I'm all for giving Willy a pass... But if we aren't giving Matthews a pass for play hurt, we can't give Willy one either

If you want Matthews gone, then we should also explore Willy trades as well bc he's getting paid 11.5 and wasn't on that next level</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>He was injured, you can't blame him for that. Like I said, emotional.</div></div>

Fair enough, I suppose it might be best to wait until we hear what actually happened to him before I judge him. I’m just annoyed because he’s never looked like a generational talent in the playoffs like he does in the regular season. Again, I’m not going to be disappointed when he’s a leafs next season. He’s a phenomenal player. We I don’t get how this crap is just always brushed off every year. He needs to be called out more.
