@GP8201 10 күн бұрын

As long as Steve Ott comes over as well with Craig Berube. That's my idea of a solid change behind the bench. Steve Ott has been an assistant coach now in St. Louis for many years and he's quietly become a key piece with regards to the player/coaching dynamic. Steve had an awesome career in Dallas and even lead the Sabres into a brief but meaningful change as captain when Ted Nolan and Pat LaFontaine had the plan to bring a solid and respectable compete level back to the organization again. The Leafs just simply lack "that" compete level and killer instinct to get them over the hump in the playoffs and Steve Ott knows how to get this message to the players for Craig Berube. Berube defines killer instinct; something the Leafs have arguably only had under the leadership of Pat Quinn and Pat Burns.

Who the Buds hire as coach isn’t what I’m concerned with,it’s the line up that concerns me.And who is still part of upper management despite insisting on keeping the core 4 forward group intact-Brendan Shanahan.When Pelley stated that Brendan Shanahan was a champion,I knew that “change was coming” was just window dressing.

How do NHL Teams be so quick with coaches being kicked out often when it’s the players who are to blame for losing? Winning a Stanley cup is not easy for any team and to call out the coach is easier than calling out the players. Tired of MLSE axing good coaches and never putting the onus on the players who are overpaid and underachieve.

@alexleblanc5926 10 күн бұрын

Isles would be crazy to trade Dobson. The Pens trade doesn't really help the Leafs much, they get older and I think they need to allocate that money more effectively to me this isn't the direction they should go if they're trading those pieces. The Columbus one makes the most sense form the Leafs perspective, I just don't see them trading Marner and Reilly together. Not sure where the value is at with that one. The mock trade I like the most is something around Marner to the Blues for Parayko and Buchnevich, proabbly be some other smaller pieces switching hands as well.
