"Hire Babcock. Players will be waiving their no-move clauses like no tomorrow." Funniest thing I'ver heard all week.

"We're not here to sell jerseys" "THIS IS THE ONLY THING IM ASKING OF YOU"

I suggest a 75% rollback of ticket prices, an open apology to Toronto fans, and a dramatic reduction of beer/snack prices.

“I love mustard” Except on cupcakes.

"I love mustard and I'm irresponsible" This guy got over his mustard cupcake fiasco

Keith pelley also said " we aren't here to sell jerseys" so your request steve is on the backburner lol

As a very sad Kings fan I cannot think of anything funnier than Cam Talbot following Todd MacClellan to Toronto

I work with Curtis Sanfords father (Curtis is the Leafs goaltending coach) and this season especially the Boston series proved to me what his dad meant when he told me that Curtis gave up trying to teach Sammy as Sammy just wouldn't listen and was in denial thinking he was playing good when he was playing bad

Them: What does the Leafs need to do? Me: Yes

Dude if you want talk about amazing drafting, let's talk about Dallas' home grown talent: Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson, Miro Heiskanen, Jake Oettinger, Thomas Harley, Essa Lindell PLUS you got AMAZING young guys in Logan Stankoven and Wyatt Johnston. There's nothing in the Leaf system anywhere near comparable to that. Let's face the truth: We're a badly managed team.

"FFS, don't know what that means" Uuh For *Fun's* Sake. Yeah. *Fun*. 😉

The heartbreaks been getting a little easier every year. I can take one more!

NO BRODIE PLEASE LORD

hey steve, enjoy all your videos including sdpn content. i like this kind of Q&A content throughout the offseason. gives me more reason to have any excitement for this team

Leafs have 5 Assistant GMs and 4 assistant coaches. There's TOO many voices in the room(s). Keep things simple upstairs and the players will keep things simple in the ice.

"The President has an 8 year term limit S O F A R" lmao

My bare minimum is Steve replacing Shannahan

Join MLH... Just kidding, those comments have become insufferable! You guys dealt with that mess pretty solidly! Loved the roasting!

They need to re-hire their 100+ points coach and name the true captain.

When you trade marner or Tavares, you don’t need to necessarily go for players. You can always trade them for picks straight up. “Why would they do that? They’re trying to get better” Because you can then flip those picks for a need. Some examples are Bo Horvat being traded for a 1st rounder and assets, those assets were then flipped to help get Filip Hronek and Nikita Zadorov. 2 huge pieces that have helped the Canucks this season. Or the Lightning trading J.T Miller to the Canucks for a 1st and assets and then Flipping that 1st rounder Blake Coleman. Who helped add depth to a cup winning team. There Will be teams who will gladly trade picks for Marner this off-season. Which then you can use those picks to pursue rebuilding teams with good players to help fix either the goalie situation, add a piece on defence, or add to the forward group.

@SteveDangle You've done a great job on these last three videos. Very clearheaded takes. Bravo.

“FFS, I don’t know what that means.” 😂

Thx for the shout out. Will be keeping a eye on the Leafs off season.❤️🇨🇦🍸

Artur Silovs definitely now he is this good and knows how to play under pressure, he has been goaltending since he was like 20 for the Latvian mens national team, he won bronze with them (for Canadians, winning bronze for country like Latvia is like winning Olympics for you ) and he has been key figure in that winning team at the age of 22. Props to Vancouver goalie scouting departement

"so far" 🤣

Best intro to a Steve Dangle video ever

I’m a new subscriber who is here because I truly LOVE watching the Leafs lose to the Bruins. I’m here for the comedy but Steve clearly knows hockey, too.

"I love mustard and I'm irresponsible...." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Green jersey with white logo would be awesome

Without knowing it, Steve Dangle did the best Homer Simpson startled yelp 😂😂😂

Great Video, Steve, You really broke it all down so clearly and concisely. I liked the fact you acknowledged that losing Marner and/or Tavares would be difficult. One question: Do you think Marner can get over the hump under a new, perhaps tougher coach? Brian Burke seems to think so, and suggests the Leafs would be nuts to get rid of him. Second Question: Since John Tavares' life-long dream was to play for the Leafs, and win a cup here, what are the odds of him accepting a trade? Where would he go?

put some respect on The Hamburglar lol

Hey Steve what are your thoughts on a Marner deal for sarros? Idk how the money logistics would work out but do you see any way of that playing out?

Im going through my first breakup and its been rough lately and when i saw you post i smiled thank you for making ny day a little better have fantastic day Steve💙

Awesome video

Steve, as a canes fan currently in anguish, how do you deal with painful playoff failure?

Keith "I've only been here for 4 weeks" Pelley has it under control I'm sure.

I love mustard too. How about mustard yellow jersies? Then when they induce vommitting on it, you dont see it.

Zamboni driver should be leafs back-up goalie.

Steve, anytime you wear that Justin Beiber jersey it always makes me think of a bruins jersey with the black and yellow🤔

I am trying to will this into existence, a package based in Marner for Saros

An interesting goalie to look at for Toronto would be Chris Driedger. He was healthy (39 GP) and played well (% .917) in AHL this year. Would have been on the Kraken if not for Daccord's miracle run. The guy's only 29 and could be a nice low risk - high reward signing for a goalie who was great in the NHL pre injury.

Combine Toronto with Detroit and we can all enjoy some Maple Wings- they will definintely bring the "sauce".

Not as exiciting as "Winning the cup once ever!" 😂

Its going to be a challenge to watch Maple Leafs next season

Can you please make a video about the image trade in about Mitch Marner?

First, Fire Keefe (check) and hire Berube. Then, find a way to trade Marner and Tavares. Do NOT resign Samsonov, Brodie, Liljegren, Giordano. RESIGN Edmundson, Domi, Bertuzzi and then go find a true #1 Goalie, 2 HUGE defensmen and a power forward that can actually drive the net in the playoffs. Management has to put their big-boy pants on and say "Hey John, you had 6 years couldn't get out of the 1st round for 5 of them. I think we're going to go in a different direction. Please submit a short list, have a nice day"

What about playing for the Grey Cup?

Hire Gregory Campbell.

Pretty solid assessment IMO I don't mind moving on from marner and Tavares if it gets us some good picks and a few young guys. I've been thinking aboutba marner and some sort of mix of prospects for saros. I know he is a top notch goalie but marner is going to explode on that roster. I'm not sure about Tavares he needs to be a 3rd line guy at this point but who is going to pony up for him?

Steve Dangle Hockey League (SDHL) - Any updates on this yet?

Bring back hat picks and dang it’s next season!

They did do a green St Pat's jersey, i seen Mats Sundin wear it

I wonder if Marner or Tavares end up in Utah, San Jose, or Anaheim… Kinda think it’d be worth a look for Detroit on Marner at least depending on what Raymond and Seider extensions look like plus if Kane comes back or not at a higher salary. If not Detroit though those two teams make the most sense money wise and Utah is gonna be looking to make a big splash to get fans in the seats there.

Matt Murray and Woll LOL

I wonder if demko will be on the market with Silvos recent success . Both of them are starters unless they are planing to doing the Ullmark / Swayman split with them next year. Could the leafs maybe acquire Demko

Wonder what you would rate Swayman between 1-128. top 20 at least.

The Leafs had the misfortune of injuries, players just back from injuries, sick players, players just back from sickness. Just about every one of them key to the teams "playing harmony". It was almost like watching the boy at the Duke trying to plug all the holes with his fingers while the Dyke keeps springing new holes.

"I love mustard and I'm irresponsible! It's a terrible combination!" I've never related to a comment so hard.

I wonder if the leafs may be better holdong off marner until trade deadline next year .. would they get a better offer as opposed to this offseason when other teams know they can low ball

Steve, what do you think about keefe going to NJ? As a diehard fan I have many people in and out of our black and red group saying keefe would be a terrible pick for us.

Speaking of jerseys, create a modernized version of the Sundin era 3rd jersey. Basically the current away jersey but with blue shoulders.

Find a 1st pairing Dman that can quarterback the powerplay.

As Marvin once said “man. I don’t even have an opinion “. But the pain is great. 58 and counting.

silovs for van is top goalie prospect he was gonna develop in the farm for a year or 2. Absolute stud

Nice clean lions 🦁 tattoo

Steve has tattoos?? I learning more and more about this guy.

Relocate to Arizona?

I know this one is probably highly unlikely, almost impossible really, but would it be possible for the Leafs to somehow get Linus Ullmark as their new starter? I know someone like Gibson or even Markstrom seem much more likely since they aren’t from a divisional rival, but would there even be the slightest chance of that happening? And what would it cost to make it happen?

Sounds good...Does this mean you trust Brad after one year not to get fleeced by trading these guys? Question If both these players agreed to much less in their new contracts how much would they have to drop for you to consider this idea. Yes we would be stuck with these contracts for 1 more year so what do you believe would be worth considering this?

So I'm not the only Villach nativ watching thisvl channel...came forvthe drama too, we 2 should meet up 😂

We got weapons to go upfront w the young guys coming up.. We need to focus heavy this offszn on fixing that dline, get rielly a nice defensive D to play with! Maybe pull a knights n sign a cpl guys to cheap contracts like talbot, jones back maybe. run them 2 w woll and bring up hilldeby for a few games check him out but next year is the offszn for FA Goalies

Another goalie Toronto could go after is Desmith (not sure Vancouver plans to resign him with how Silovs is playing, although Demko has been injury prone so having 3 competent goalies might be good for Vancouver)

They need to find a way to move some of their big 4. But since they have no trade clauses it would be difficult. Marner and Tavares should be the next ones to go. I'm surprised Shanahan is still there. Assumed a lot of management would go.

Hire Gibbons! John Gibbons!

One coach that is out there and not getting much if any conversation is... 20 playoff season appearances and has only lost in the 1st round ONLY 3 times. 3 time Stanley Cup Champion. 6 Time Conference Finals... I'm talking Joel Quenneville. If the Leafs wanted him, the NHL would permit it. I'm pretty sure leafs fans would overlook past behaviour for a chance to advance past the 1st round.

It would be a good time to reveal they had their fingers crossed with that hyman trade

19:10 Wild looking to move G Gustavsson and has solid D pieces, they also need a skilled Winger like Marner for Krill - could be a win win

20:17 They got Trouba in a trade with the Jets for Pionk and a pick.

Leafs need a partner for Rielly and McCabe. Solidify our top 4. We desperately need a shot and secondary scoring from the point. I think a lot off playoff type goals are scored off tip ins and rebounds. Sort out our bottom pairing with Edmunson/Benoit and Liljgren/Lyubushkin

1. You could probably trade a 3rd for Silovs or sign de smith problem solved there 2. if you go into next season with the Marlies having a tandem of Akhtyamov and Hildeby thats pretty solid considering they will be decent options to come up and play should you need it for injury purposes 3. Any Marner trade I'd say find players who have 2-3 years on their ELC's that you can use for cheap that have some potential

Question: Do the Leafs consider retaining salary just to get Marner/Tavares off the books? Or to maximize their return? It would only be for one year.

They will make you a believer first and then make you a dreamer. The behind is a reconstruction of the maple leaf.

Renovation is being done for next year on Events Level

Michel Hutchinson is available this off season

Tavares will be the only one moved, as marner has a nmc so the chances he moves... unlikely. So think of it this way, tavares will be the "cap casualty" and he will be the one moved. Watch it happen, and wont get much for him because of his performance and his age.

Bro loves mustard on his cupcakes

Golf and have fun like they alway do since 1967

Interesting you did not bring up Markstrom, I for one don't think he goes to TO.On speculation, Marner for Markstrom and Huberdeau? How bad is that trade?

Find a way to hire Joel Quenneville. He's the choice between winning or cup or not.

As a non-leaf fan (pens fan). I think traded both Marner and Tavares would be ideal, although im unsure how legitimate that idea is. Trade marner to nashville or calgary for Saros or Markstrom plus either some depth or picks to retain cap space. Then trade tavares to somewhere for hopefully a younger top 6 dman and maybe couple prospects. If you can trade both of them to get a starting goalie, young top 6 dman, and about 10M in cap space i think that would be huge. Spend that 10M to resign domi and bring in a legit 3C. Revamp the Dcore a bit and become deeper. The cup isn't won by teams with 1 or 2 good lines, they are all deep teams with at least good goaltending.

Mustard still shows through on green. 😅

You're awesome

I see Steve has reached the Denial & Justification stage of Grief regarding the Leafs keeping Shannahan around lol.

How bout brossoit? Perfect fit imo

Hilarious Babcock comment.

Is it odd that no Leafs have saluted Sheldon Keefe or have we missed something? (Classy departure by Keefe.) Remember Brian Burke's 1st press conference, talking about how to build a winner. Start with goal, then defense, then move on from there. Got a lot of "Ooohs!" and "Ahhhs!" like he actually had a plan. Didn't work out in the long run but the plan could apply here. Loss of Marner leaves holes but who''s gonna take his contract unless the Leafs pay a chunk? Don't see Tavares moving due to his family's settled in TO. So maybe we can't expect much change there. It's the supporting cast--whom they retain---that'll be just as crucial.

Bring back the 1967 blue jerseys when they won the cup

I think moving Marner remains you best option with changes at D to better support Reilly who I also expect to stay. I don’t know about conversations behind the scenes but if you moved Marner this year and kept Tavares but the signed him to something very friendly don’t you still want that captain? Tavares at $3M or 2 or less? Who knows but then next year you get that cap flexibility and you still have this guy who wants to be here.

they could start a 3 on 3 hockey league
