The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[axlsalinger]

someone must've given him a heads-up, it doesn't read like speculation. have to assume the team wants to announce it tomorrow.

though it is weird that no one else has weighed in.

 

[Jeremy]

Dregs just mentioned it could be announced by the end of the week.

 

[LeafGm]

This will be a twofer if the Leafs don’t hire Treliving.

One is obviously that we avoid hiring a horrible GM. And the other is that this will be an all-time screw-up embarrassment for Dreger if he’s gotten this wrong.

 

[Jeremy]

Looks like a done deal.

Even the headline on TSN for the hiring article is “Treliving to be hired as Leafs general manager”

 

[manny]

Probably Treliving that leaked the news

 

[manny]

as a Dubas diehard, this face was all I needed to spew bile.

Who did you melt down harder over, Dubas or Burke?

(His face is awful. But a bunch of goobers have won cups.)

Brad Treliving to be hired as Toronto Maple Leafs general manager | TSN

The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to hire Brad Treliving as their next general manager, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

Yeah there is no qualifying statement anywhere in this article. They say it's done.

 

[JackBurton]

So will we now try to spin this as some positive and fall in love with this Boston Pizza bastard..

You would think TSN would be on point with them owning the team. But weird Sportsnet is quiet as an owner who knows who the next GM is gonna be (if Shanny knows)

Not quite quiet but not as sure as TSN

I feel like we just hired another Dave Nonis.

Have to go back to this thread to read some good stuff on Brad to get me through the summer.

In fairness, if he doesn’t lose all his best players then he built a really good team.

 

[leafman101]

Btw, Leafs should sign Matthew Phillips.

Welp. Let’s go I guess.

 

[Habsy]

Who did Dreger get to in order to break this?

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Guys don't want to stay in Calgary...or maybe their wives don't...but it's hard to judge a GM of a team that plays where it does.

 

[Habsy]

Well, in fairness to Treliving hr does seem like he has a pair on him. When you have to deal with the likes of Darryl Sutter And also managed to get somewhat of a return in a terrible situation, which should not happen to Toronto in the first place because you guys have money, I don't know. I wouldn't been my pick. But I don't know if he's that bad. You have to wait and see.

Maybe Shanny sees them as taking no crap.from people and that's what he wants at this point, because Dubas was like a reed in the wind lately. They don't want another to crack.

 

[Montana]

Welp. Let’s go I guess.

I’m praying this was a typo….and he meant ‘noose’ ends.
