Another maddening case of what if.

I wanna know what was bugging Matthews and what did Woll tweak.

I just want answers to those two questions and a round of firings in the coaching staff and management. Queefe better be gone. Boucher and whoever hired him better be gone. If Shanahan is responsible for this, get rid of him too. Bring in some Leafs legends as an advisory board, make a concrete short-term plan, and hire a real bench boss.

Just my two cents. Actual worth may vary.

Close...horseshoes, hand grenades, first dates, and playoff space.

Last time the Leafs won the cup was the month before I was born

Same poop different pile

Time to trade Marner to the west

Resign Domi

An experienced coach needed for sure. I'm mildly optimistic actually. Treliving is moving the team in the right direction and I'm kind of excited about Woll, Knies, and what maybe Easton Cowan and maybe Minten might bring. I think Boston will get female dog slapped by Florida, as we would have. This result is one you can't paper over, excuse away, and just run back.

Clean house.

GM : Monkey Punk
Head Coach : Zezel
Strength and Conditioning Coach : Skalapy

All other management hires/fires will be approved by a 2/3rd's majority vote of regular HB Leafs posters in these threads.

Gives Knies an "A" - set an example of reward for other younguns to follow.

Marner to LA for Brandt Clarke
Fire Shanny.
Fire Keefe.
Find a stable Vet to pair with Woll that doesn't give up a softie or 2 every start.

Just an outsider's view, probably nothing new to what's been said here already, but trading Marner and his 11M would do a lot for your team.

With that money you could add a Pesce type RD, re-sign one of Domi/Bertuzzi, or go after another UFA. Then there's the assets you get back in the trade, at least one starter and a 1st round pick. Addition by subtraction.

Curious when the "Maple Leafs play better without Matthews" nonsense will start.

I honestly think the return for Marner would be disappointing. His caphit is high and his stock is low-ish. Cap is king and Leafs would probably need to retain to get a better return. Some of the proposed trades I hear for Marner in this forum would probably get rejected outright by most GM's.

Is that like you not giving Dubas any credit?

Regular season means Jack poop.

Boston’s D isn’t great, their goaltending is unreal.

They will get stomped by the Panthers.

While you are right about the regular season…being 1st in the Atlantic for once and getting Washington 1st round would be nice.

I didn’t even realize Marner only had 3 points lol

He’s had over 2 goals only once in the playoffs and it was when the team went to round 2 with 3 goals.

Prorated to 82 games Marner would have 15 goals…absolutely pathetic era for him, I really hope it’s the last we see of him here.

Tough to predict how this plays out from here. Mitch may have had enough and want out now. Or, he may say (frank) you and play out the contract. I don't see the Leafs overpaying him. If he walks after next season, it's a lost asset, but the cap space along with JT off the books is massive.

And Tavares had 2. 22 million dollars for 5 points. Yikes

Bah, all they want is attention. Don't give it to them. You can usually tell a troll post right from the first sentence. Stop reading, and skip to next post.

I honestly think this is the case. The media and fans are already in a bad place with him, imagine how they will be if he walks for nothing.

Tavares was at least good defensively and threw hits.

Also at this point it is obvious Marner has a weak brain and can’t handle any sort of pressure, if JT doesn’t have it it’s not because he can’t handle it.

I’m insanely frustrated with two players.

I also wish Morgan played better.

Other than that I’m pretty Damn happy with all the other players, they all played their roles well and deserve a pat on the back.

Yeah it is a weird situation…I think there may be a trade out there, it just won’t be what people think it will be. I think it’ll be for a player that’s a UFA in his same year or has 2 years left.

At this point he knows he can’t handle this market, he can’t handle the media and can’t handle the fans. Maybe he can be a big moment type player on another team but it won’t be a team like the leafs, Habs, Rangers, Flyers, ect.

Nashville, Florida, Utah, Vegas are teams that would be perfect for him I think.
