2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

New voice but also, not hiring a President?

It sort of feels like, they dont want to fire Tre/Boob but also dont want to force a new Pres to inherit guys so, just dont go with a Pres until you are ready to can everyone? shrug.
 
Kinda harsh messaging.

First, seems like they wanted it to be known they didn't want Shanny back, even though they could've just said his contract expired and he wants to go pursue other things, or wait till he gets the NYI job or something.

And then this one sounds kind of angry and insulting, as they slam the door on him.
Shanny deserves no better than what he got. In Pelley's shoes I wouldn't have been that nice and it wouldn't have taken until today to announce it. He'd be cleaning out his office Sunday night after the handshakes and be out the door by midnight. Pack your shit and fuck off.

The wehave standard of conduct, ladies and gentlemen.
 
I think Brad will overpay in free agency for more veterans to try and postpone the inevitable decline the team is facing for another 2-3 years. ownership will want the Leafs to continue to make the playoffs if possible. Matthews and I think Treliving's contracts will be expiring at that point as well so it kind of all comes together for a rebuild in 2028.
 
Tre going to get fleeced this summer

Tulsky or someone smart like him will get Willy on a steal
If he was going to trade Willy, he'd have done it last year.

If one of the core is leaving, it's Marner. And nobody else. And maybe not even him.

The standard is you get what you deserve. Shanahan was brought in to win a Cup. He spent 11 years running the club and only got out of the first round twice. You don't get a gold watch for that. You get a swift kick up the backside as punishment for wasting everyone's time and a shit ton of the company's money.
 
Like Mindz said, just bring them at a decent number, even if slight overpay, and let the rising cap wash away the pain.

As long as we win, who fucking cares anyway. So, if we think he's going to get us there, pay him and let's go.
I don’t think Bennett gets us there, either
 
Tre going to get fleeced this summer

Tulsky or someone smart like him will get Willy on a steal
If I'm the Habs I consider seeing if I can grab Willy or maybe making a crippling offer sheet to Knies just to fuck with the Leafs' cap. See if Tre can think on his feet without panicking.
 
In another universe, If they had just held steady on the Shanaplan - avoid the Tavares signing and the shitty mentors and grown this organically, we’d likely have a cup already.

Always boils down to shit management

This fucking franchise man
Yep, wasting all that money on a dressing room cancer like Tavares was peak stupidity. The guy was supposed to be a leader but in fact had only appeared in 2 dozen playoff games since turning pro. Signing him was about wish fulfillment for the player. The team got nothing but another regular season points merchant and salary cap eater who shit his pants after Game 82.
