The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

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.

I believe it. But I think it's all they've got right now when you know they're speaking to more folks out there. The verbiage on Treliving has always been far stronger than the "I believe they've made a telephone call to some other human beings" comments so there is IMO obviously something to the Treliving stuff.

Has it?

I think it’s just that the big insiders repeated their guesses and wishes around this guy loudly and often enough initially that other reporters are picking up the ball and running with it like it’s a fact.

But I’ve yet to see anyone firmly report based on their own first-hand sources that the Leafs have interviewed this guy or are actually seriously considering him.

^ @LeafGm

I want to dunk on the Leafs media as much as anyone and they totally deserve it based on their antics lately... But they've clearly interviewed Treliving in person. The interest there is obvious IMO and something I totally would have assumed anyway. Experienced GM, led a team with strong nerdies for a good amount of time. But yeah, overall underwhelming.

We shall see.

I'm neither under nor overwhelmed by the news that the idiot son of a golf buddy of T-Baum's got an in person interview for the job.

I'm appropriated whelmed by this news.

Meh
 
Burke says they met once a year with the board when he got there, Peddie would have some input "have you had a chance to think about this" etc. and he was his conduit to the board.

Burke says he likes both Shanny and Dubas but the math changes if you're a team prez if you hear your GM says he's not sure he wants to come back. First fly in the ointment. Then says he changed proposals - new money and new reporting scheme to affect balance of power.

Says if you're in the last year of your contract and you just got beat by a team you were supposed to beat, that's a huge problem.
 
For me, if I’m Dubas, I’d want to pitch my bigger ideas to the board directly. Even if they rejected it, at least I’d know they heard my best pitch instead of whatever Shanny said.

But it wouldn’t be a deal breaker until I won something of note in my dream job
