<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>TSN 680 did a hypothetical trade involving Cole Caufield to the Leafs for Marner+1st...

I think that might be up for one of the worst trades possible from the Leafs perspective</div></div>

Never listen to those people

Remember Ritchie + Montour for Nylander lul

Leafs are not gonna trade with a divisional rival nor would MTL do it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Messier99</b></div><div>I think Leafs management were surprised that Keefe took full responsibility for the losses.
So they all sort of took responsibility upon themselves, knowing that they were not going to be held to account. (at least not this year).
I think they are setting themselves up for a firing next years.</div></div>

Nah they werent surprised. This is just the standard tactic of woops our bad. We saw it with Dubas for 3 years except it was the final year he finally was hinting at change maybe

Brad just got here lul why would they fire him. MLSE dont want to just waste money willy nilly

Shanahan's contract's done next year so its up in the air what happens there but if change happens in a good way and they get rid of one or two of the core and see more success bring him back

Even if both JT and Marner walk due to not being able to trade what can yah do. Sucks but you got a tonne of cap to work with

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Dubas said that several times. "Everything is on the table" is just empty words. Shanahan is staying and him and Treliving are in charge still. Mainly Shanahan.

Nothing is changing</div></div>

Dubas only said once last years presser said along with some family sob story then made a power move and got fired. Every other year he defended and said were going with the core.

The fact Shanahan and Brad said all options are open together implies both are on the same page and not just the GM going okay maybe we need a change

As for nothing changing the thing is rn its out of their hands as all 4 guys got NMC lul

Even if they want changes to the core Marner or JT or both are gonna have to be fine waiving their NMC. Will they idk

But for sure they will probs put pressure on Marner to waive and go.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>Carolina just doesn't seem to have that clutch factor to put them over the edge, 4-3 loss, 4-3 (2OT) loss, 3-2 (OT) loss, so close yet they just can't get the goal they need</div></div>

Carolina feels like a team whose constructed in some area's right but in others wrong

The C depth is where I look at them and go man

Aho is a nice 1c but after they have a bunch of 3/4c's

Should have kept Trocheck.

This summer should buyout KK then explore trying to find or add a 2c either by trading Necas (rumoured already) or FA signing

Was fine with the press conference and the fact we have now heard

"everything's on the table" is good

Without directly saying it we got the message if they waive and are okay with it one or more of the core could be on the move

For the injuries yea I we knew some of them but the one to Woll highlights why Brad needs to go invest in a goalie

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>It was classy of him to take responsibility for the last 4-5 years. I don't hate Keefe, just didn't think was ready for this market and while he should have been let go at least 2 years ago, that's more on the organization and specifically Shanahan.

And yes,he took more responsibility of the failures of this team than the players did. That doesn't sit right with me because what about when the next coach takes over?

When will it be on the players?</div></div>

Dont see him as an improvment over Keefe. Yes his system works one year but its a waste of time and resources

NYR can tell yah that

As look at the choke-job he did game 7 last year yikes

Go get someone who is actually good

Like in all his tenure we went to the final once and could not adapt to WSH stretch passes losing VGK a cup, then he blew a 2-0 lead to TBL and the next year blew a 3-1 lead

He's a 1 season wonder and is not what TOR should be eyeing

We need stability and someone who can be here a while like TBL Cooper, PIT Sullivan, CAR Brind'Amour, etc

It could be maybe they are assessing everyone as maybe they were waiting to see who else becomes available and maybe had their eyes on Keefe.

As for an org you never want to rush into a hire unless its a guy like Sullivan, Cooper, Brind'Amour, Cassidy, etc.

Probs with all these orgs want to ensure all goes right and this is for sure the guy they want

He may look good here and there but there's a reason teams have him on the third pair.

If TOR trades for him Brad's for sure working on an extension heck may be a sign and trade

Saros is in the top 10 for starters in the NHL and true starters are rare commodity in todays NHL. Considering NSH position and TOR big ? in net he is a worthy investment

Cause rn this is one of the big ? for TOR next to what the Dcore, forward group is gonna look like along with whose gonna be the new HC

He would for sure solve one of the ?
