The backup, no matter who he is would not have played a second.

Our coach had a guy on 1 leg playing as much as Auston Matthews and you want to go on about a backup?

hello big brother

Not sold on Broccoli just yet.

Although I'm 99% sure he makes the team next year, as we are going to need a lot of guys on entry level contracts.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah I'd agree. Him, Lillybust and Rosen will be fulltime Leafs next year I'd imagine. Sandin, Brooks, and maybe Engvall, Hollowell and Korshkov to follow?

Leafs still have lots of talent not with the big club

Every day Roger? Every 3rd post of every day? We get it, Babs sucks. Hopefully you get the gig and we can watch you hoist the cup every year. Whoohooo GLG

Hunter played in the NHL, not sure his resume is: just bought an OHL team.
- Garnie

I realize he played nhl. That isn't any meaning towards becoming a gm of an nhl.

What is his resume then? Becuase that is exactly his resume is ,he bought an ohl team and made himself the gm. Granted he's done very well in that job, but he didn't work his way up from nothing to become gm. The othe guy did.

Which was my point.

Just bring up the coach down the street who knows how to win in the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure the other guy also has a bit of hockey experience.

Ok

Are people still going on about Hunter? Does no one notice he can't get an NHl job? Everytime someone wanted to speak to a Leaf exec, it was Dubas.

Hunter can't get a job in Edmonton. LOL.

in 10 months as GM Dubas won the Calder cup, signed the biggest UFA in at least 12 years and added a very solid top 4 D. What more do people want?

Oh you're upset about NYlander getting 6.9 million per are you? Well I am upset at Marleau and Zaitsev making as much as Tavares next season. Guess who signed those horrendous deals?

Justin Williams looks amazing in the playoffs and is the same age as washed-up Marleau.(But of course Marleau played almost as much as Willams).

Hunters drafts with the leafs were terrible, but some never like what they currently have. Never will.

His 2016 draft was so bad. Dubas' pick of Sandin is looking brilliant. And he traded down to make it. Amazing asset management.

No ones going on about Hunter, just said his resume is more than: Bought an OHL team. You guys are hilarious how you jump to conclusions. I actually thought you 2 were the same person. I see you conversing now, so I hope I’m wrong

I just still see people making the comments Leafs made such a mistake with Dubas over Hunter. Why is Hunter not getting hired by anyone? Why did Buffalo, Ariziona, Colorado ask to speak with Dubas and not Hunter when both were on the Leafs?

Dubas had the Colorado job if Shanny let him go.

No one seems very interested in hiring Hunter. So I guess everyone is making the same mistake as the Leafs.

Elliott Friedman said yesterday Edmonton wants Keith Gretzky over Hunter. Mark Hunter can't beat anyone to a GM job.

Asked already what his resume is, if you're going to argue I'm wrong then provide proof. Did he not buy a team and install himself as gm? Is that not a fact?

Interested to see Leafs opening night lineup. Up against the cap ceiling the young Marlie players have to make the jump. How many is too many? How does Dubas get Marleau off the books

I think trading Zaitsev and Brown is the answer. Not sure Marleau can be moved. We'll see.

Mark Hunter can't get the Edmonton job...

So?

Does it strike you as easy to be an NHL GM?

I just find it odd people claim he would have been so much better than Dubas. He can't get hired by Edmonton! He isn't even up against tough competition for the job as established people don't want it.

Meh, Max thinks dubas didn't earn his way up through hockey ladder and Hunter did.

One guy:
started at stick boy
Went on to get a degree in sports management
Became an agent
Became a scout
Became an AGM of an ohl team
Became the GM of that team

Other guy:
Bought an ohl team and made himself GM

ONe of these guys earned his way up and the other didn't.

Yeah but he's got stupid glasses and when they handed him the Calder Cup he yelled!

And he hired a woman.

Imagine being upset that your gm celebrated a championship.

You need to do some research on what type of injury Hyman had.

Korschkov with the goal. Looked pretty good in the highlights I watched.

Bracco too.
- gravyface

Bracco is good, I think people are doing the same thing with him as Kapanen and Johnnson.

Bracco IMO, looks better than Kap and Johnnson did in their Marlie seasons.

As for Korshkov, he looked good in his first game. If Babcock is still around he will be salivating over him.

"McElhinney is not good enough - we'll go with the unproven guy since he's 'deserved it!!'"


- MaximusAurelius

Curious, how many 37 year olds have career seasons? And would you be whining about Babcock if we kept Mac and he sucked and sparks went on to repeat his Calder performance in the nhl?
