The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[hockeylover]

I guess they need a #7. But really, Lilly and Timmins should play a lot and I still think they need a Muzz replacement.

Rielly-Lilly
Xxx-Brodie
McCabe-Timmins
Gio

Oh no, I'm not falling for that trick again.

(I'm down with your pairings)

 

[hockeylover]

He goes to the Pens and same with Kerfeet.

It doesn't sound like Sullivan's going anywhere, if that Athletic article's to be believed.

 

[worm]

Yep. For all the drama nobody else seems to be quitting.

Quiet quitting is all the rage

Also paychecks are nice

 

[worm]

Yeah, what is the ideal time to fire a GM, exactly?

Nov 28th

 

[worm]

This almost never happens.

Habs didnt fire ducharme before hiring Hughes.

You guys are now advocating the leafs to operate abnormally.

As they should.

 

[worm]

There's a ton of worse coaches out there.

True like 15 Sutters

 

[worm]

I think not firing DD was the anomaly for the Habs

Habs had to wait for the peewee hockey season to end for Marty.

 

[worm]

Clean house. There is no time to waste here. Get the right coaching staff in now to acclimate with the core that you intend to keep.

keeping Keefe for the year is a waste of time.

Most times the GM is fired it is because the team is in the shitter. Waiting a year or two to figure out the coaching isn't ideal for the leafs.

That said maybe part of the GM interview is deciding around what they propose as coaching options.

What is a Spencer Crabberry?
Why is their a Sweeps for it?
Halpern is a fire 4LC

Carbury was the top coach in the AHL before we hired him. With the Caps so they have the connection.

what did the leafs hire him to do?

 

[Wayward DP]

what did the leafs hire him to do?

pretty sure he's been our PP guy the past couple years (where we've had a top-5 PP)

Someone on hfboards summarized the following radio hit...

According to TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger:

- the Toronto Maple Leafs went pretty deep with Brad Treliving
- met with Brad Treliving early last week
- discussions with Marc Bergevin?
- Brendan Shanahan has talked to others
- could Peter Chiarelli actually be in the mix
- gets the feeling that Jason Botterill is not in the mix at all with Toronto
- is it a one-horse race?
- the longer this process drags out, the less likely Brad Treliving is hired as the Toronto Maple Leafs new GM
- Brendan Shanahan needs to hire an experienced GM for the Toronto Maple Leafs
- needle moves most likely maybe later this week
- 2 to 3 weeks at most to name a new General Manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs

Appears we've circled back to... almost zero info at all.

 

[hockeylover]

Actually kind of curious to hear what Burke would have to say about the ownership dynamics, especially after he's gone to Pittsburgh's situation.

lol, they know nothing

 

[Preston]

I'll go as far as saying that the Leafs are really interested in Treliving and he's probably the favorite. But yeah, they're struggling to get more intel than that.

And regardless of what I think about his views on hockey, I like Burkie. Generally a great guy and very entertaining.

I heard his segment. I couldn't believe he' s an Insider who's line was "I believe they've talked to others".

I’m still taking an “I’ll believe it when I see it” approach and think the reports around Treliving and the Leafs are total BS.
