People can HATE on SID!!!…. But he NAILED IT!!!! For those who understand this organization “ They are still a GOOD TEAM”.
That’s right only good but not great. You need more then just a good team to win the cup.
They are a great regular season team.
@@plrt6794 Third place in the Atlantic division is great? Hahahahaha
The Leafs are a Razzle Dazzle regular season team Once playoffs start they have no hunger for a Championship they stay in regular season mode not War mode ...Mitch could care less about winning soon as game 82 ends hes already planning his Summer to party in cancoon John Tavares trys a little but he is just getting too old...Matthews & Nylander are ok but need to get them wayyyy better linemates Woll is incredibly good but he's the Jeff Lupal of goaltenders (soft as tissue paper) needs a smart coach and for crying out loud bring in someone that knows how to run the pp/pk Guy Boucher you suck!!! all this coming from a long term Leafs fan since the Pat Burns era now he was a beauty head coach!
Honestly if they go back and do the same thing over again 100% can guarantee you. I am not watching it. This team should have been blowing up after 3-1 series loss to Montreal They strung it along for three more seasons and were still basically getting the same results. One series win with cord. That's not good enough
When I die, I'm going to have six maple leaf pallbearers, so they can let me down one final time.
Hahaha that's gold
It's an oldie but goodie. 😊
Awesome comment.😆
@@TheRapnep Yep, a real oldie. And a real goodie.
110%. This is exactly what I was thinking….tell Marner he’s sitting in the press box if he doesn’t give up his no trade….and all the other things you mentioned.
I disagree, Leafs should buy out both Marner and Tavares contract and let them become free agents so that other teams can sign them.
If I was Marner I would love to sit in the press box all season while getting paid for it as well.
So you pay Marner for not playing? Makes no sense.
@@arthurau9231 I thought about that too! or put them on waivers?
I don't think he cares the little spoi.ed brat he acts like that throughing his clothes
Sid you nailed it. This is The Dallas Cowboys in the NHL when it comes to wanting to win, but not willing to 'go for it' to win.
Somehow "canadas team" but they never win anything
Both franchises have big ego’s and are easy to hate
@@kurtisheidt2249 They are Canada's team by sheer weight of population in the GTA, with about 7-8 million people in that area. If they add another NHL team to that place, the Leafs would quickly find themselves bleeding fans. Percentage wise of their own respective provinces, the Canucks, Canadiens, and Oilers/Flames are more popular than the Leafs.
and I will always be a cowboys fan and you all will always be leafs fans.... are we crazy? maybe lmao
Hey, don't dis the Cowboys. The Leafs Cup drought is longer than the Cowboys' Super Bowl win in the 90's
Sid knows hockey this man speaks the truth. Why is Shanahan still here? Keefe?
Because organizations like this one, much prefer to keep friends around then bring in anyone new.
because Shanahan is an owners guy...Shanahan literally effed a teammates wife, snake....
Because Shanahan pleased his corporate masters by building an exciting regular season team, where most of the money is made, and Leaf fans will always forgive the early playoff exit.
He's still there cause they think he learned something form Bowman. He didn't learn a dam thing.
Sid looks like he should be behind the automotive desk at Canadian Tire.
Losing to CBJ in 2020 is an indication change is needed. Blowing a 3-1 series lead to Montreal in 2021 solidified that changes are needed. It’s never too late to change though.
I'm a Habs fan and was shocked Marner was brought back after 2021. It's been obvious since then that his issue isn't a lack of playoff experience or needing to become a more complete player - he just doesn't care. He's always floating, no hustle, no muscle whatsoever in the playoffs.
But it's not just him. Is there anyone who has even once said "we needed to work harder / be better" after a playoff loss? I think O'Reilly did, but of course he's a winner. Otherwise it's always, "we were right there, we played our game, just didn't get the breaks" bla bla bla. They don't hold themselves accountable, so I don't see how a new coach will change their attitude. They're pampered and just don't care.
But the players who coughed up that lead no longer play on Toronto or have you forgotten that? Gaffes were made and those players are gone. Galchenyuk being among the notable.
When the Leafs lost game7, I felt nothing. Nothing. We've all become so numb to this that it doesn't bother us any more. And THAT is the real indictment of this team. This is new - in previous years we were crushed. Flattened. We have now reached a point where we can't get any flatter, so to speak. If real change doesn't happen this summer I really can't see fans getting excited about next year when they know it will be more of the same.
I'd keep Knies, woll, McMann, Nylander and Matthews
and sign Domi Bertuzzi and Edmundson.
Might have to give up a Knies to get a legit top pair D
Agreed. And domi. He worked his ass off every second of every shift
Why would they make changes? The Leafs are one of the most successful NHL franchises financially despite being a gong show on the ice for decades.
There comes a point when you just can’t play it safe and the Raptors reference was bang on! They took a chance and look what happened !! 🏆🤷🏻♂️
MLSE, owned by the telecomms giants, want to win. They haven't been happy for a while now.
@jarsenaultj the leafs can miss the playoffs every year and still be successful financially. However, imagine how much more money they'd make with a cup win.
@@steve8803 yeah, but that's assuming a Cup victory was guaranteed. Which it's not.
You nailed it never mind sid
It's all money fixed now
Leafs were going to lose to the Bruins in 7 or get crushed and blown out by the Panthers in 4.
Yup. I don’t think either team is built to beat Florida. They’re just too good.
Rangers Stars
Lmfao. They were gonna get blown out and swept by the bruins. Then 5, then 6 and no way they have a chance in game 7. All you experts with your fkn guessing every season and every season youse are wrong but keep guessing. So silly.
Durrrrrrr
Nah, I think they would've lost in 5 to the Panthers. They always find ways to win when it's meaningless, like down 3-0 and win game 4, some ish like that.
They had fair odds against the Bruins and would have definitely given the Panthers a hunt!
The fans are partially to blame, if you see the team changing nothing and still buy tickets, you are part of the problem I'm a Habs fan and I remember a time when it seemed they didn't care if we were winning or losing because they sold out every time - then attendance dropped and someone WOKE up! If the fans feel the team doesn't care - why should the fans support them?
None of the fans can afford it. It's all the corps. That won't change unfortunately
So true, I remember those days. I used to tell all my fellow Leaf fans that Montreal fans were way smarter than us.
About 15 years ago Leafs fans were paying $3,000 and up for lower bowl tickets to the last game of the season and the Leafs hadn't even qualified for the playoffs. They've been selling out for over 20 years now no matter what crap they put on the ice. Ridiculous.
I get your point but Montreal is a last place team a million miles from the playoffs and the Bell Centre is not only full this year, it’s loud. Amazing energy considering the standings. It’s not about caring it’s about stupidity, the Leafs spend big, right to the cap but built the team like it’s a video game and that as we all know doesn’t work. As a Leafs fan I’m not paying super close attention to the Canadians but I bet they have a blue print or road map back to playoff hockey that actually makes sense.
@@kevinstewart1285 I have to differ with you, not all Montreal fans are way smarter. I'm . . . . . . . . . . a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Habs . . . . . . . . . . . . fan! lol. 😁😁😁
@@supra3.063 The difference here, in my eyes, is the present management team. We had bad management for a long time and Bergevin was somewhat of a disaster. His outlook was "Get to the playoffs and see what happens" almost every years and there was little communication with the media and fans. Now the fans feel they are being kept in the loop better and the new attitude is to build a better team for years to come (hopefully, lol) Pretty sure we are a few years away from a great playoff run, but watching them bring in young talent and watch them grow into a great team will make Habs hockey fun again. I'm 64 and have seen some great Habs teams, but the time of dynasties may be coming to an end in this cap era and I know many people disagree with me, but at one point the NHL will be too watered down for my taste and expansion to 36 teams will make a lesser product, but those expansion fees have the NHL googly eyed !
They don't even have a "good" team. A good team doesn't go 1-9 in playoff series. They haven't even sniffed the 3rd round and got embarassed the only time they made it to the 2nd round. Regular season metrics are meaningless when this team gets nothing done in the playoffs.
Hate it but you’re correct
I'm hearing marner wasn't available for post game interviews because his dad was late getting to the dressing room to untie his skates.
Ah, calling him a child. That's at least a tiny step up from calling him a woman, I guess. Or is it? No, not really.
@@TT-fq7pl what if we called him a female child…?
@@mst3k54 Even classier. Let's think of someone even weaker and more vulnerable. An old woman without any savings or family?
@@TT-fq7plHe plays like an old maid in the playoffs.
@@mr.brenman2132 But "old maids" don't play professional hockey. Here's the thing: you can say that Marner stinks in the playoffs without making lame and predictably ugly comparisons that just expose you as another mouth-breathing knuckle-dragger who cares far too much about other men chasing a puck around.
To add to Sid’s point regarding the Raptors and moving DeRozen after the 2018 season, Dwayne Casey was 2018 coach of the year but same as DeRozen another elimination at the hands of James was not accepted. A million years ago the Jays did something uncomfortable when they shipped out beloved players Tony Fernandez and Fred McGriff because simply winning a division was no longer good enough, the return was Alomar and Carter and the rest is history. Sad thing is this organization doesn’t even have to come close to winning a cup to be considered successful, a couple runs to the conference final would be huge after 8 yrs of the same formula failing, try something, anything, just make it different from this BS.
Your right sid these are like the Ballard days he didn't care he was making money.
same thing. people kept going to games. it'll never stop.
Get real!!!
Ballard didn’t try to get anyone or spend a dime!!
I know Ballard didn't spend a time these guys make millions of dollars and haven't done anything settler made hundred and seventy thousand a year buddy.
Bertuzzi , Domi , and a few more were WORKHORSES FOR THE LEAFS . GO BRUINS !!🎸👊🏼
And mathew knies
100% agree, Sid. However, I’d keep Bertuzzi and Domi as well.
Can't wait to watch this rerun all over again next year!
What fans are forgetting is that Detroit,Buffalo,Montreal and other teams are getting better every year and pretty soon the leafs are going to be life and death to make the playoffs.It wasn’t too long ago this team went many years not making the playoffs and don’t think that it can’t happen again!
Sid is 1000% correct! I was a Leaf fan from 1970 till they screwed up a 3-1 series lead to Montreal. At that point i threw away any Leaf memorabilia i had and said enough is enough, they aren’t worth my valuable time or money, haven’t watched a minute of any Leaf game since, and I suggest you all do the same, your life will be very much improved
Not sure what is worse. The leafs or canadian politics.
Trudeau still takes the cake but not by much!
Conservatives are getting in, stop crying already.
@@gdavho8778 freeland is worse. But yeah, I agree. Media in Canada is a close 3rd worst . Haha
Leafs.
Poilievre is definitely worse. Capable of doing much more damage than the Leafs ever do.
Excellent job Sid …best comments I’ve seen so far …
Leafs fans ( the corporate ones) will fill the seats next year as they always do. Nothing will happen until they see empty seats.
Totally agree. Watch not only Reilly on the Pasta goal but also have a look at Marner watch Pasternak skate right by. Matthews was good when healthy and Nylander good once he got a game under his belt.
Literally the only time i have ever agreed with Sid! LOL
Cool to see him get so worked up when he knows the Leafs are basically screwed because of the money they’re giving to 4 forwards and their NMC’s !!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
coz yer a liberal dork
Sid….AMEN !!!! To all you just said it’s the truth & maybe hard to take but u took the words right out of my mouth good for you to have balls to say what others are too scared to say !!!!
Sid is 100% correct
Petition to bring back tim and sid!
im so glad to see Sid gone from the major sports networks. He can enjoy his time on Breakfast TV until he retires for all we care. he was beyond insufferable during his time on sportsnet. I know I'm not alone in feeling very happy to see him being relegated lol
Agree 100% about what changes should be made and agree 99% that nothing will be done. There'll probably some small token change just to say they did something.
Sheldon Keefe is gone. If he doesn't announce his resignation later today, the Thursday media talk will take care of him. Just like with Dubas, he wasn't fired immediately.
@@StephenShawCanada Dubas was NOT fired though , Shanahan and Dubas came to an agreement on a extension then Dubas did that PRESSER , Shanahan wanted Dubas to sign the extension and Dubas said he did not like the contract he wanted more power where he could go over Shanahans head and speak to the owners himself and he wanted more money , Shanahan said ok I am not giving u a new contract we will get someone else . That is NOT being fired that was finishing up his term and not being asked back , Dubas made a power play and it blew up in his face .
Does anyone see the irony with Shanahan?
He refuses to make a change coming from a team (The Wings) that to win made drastic changes, one being getting him.
The Wings traded Paul Coffey and Keith Primeau to get Shanny. Traded a 50-goal scorer in Ray Sheppard and traded away Dino Cicarelli. Why does he not see he needs to make some moves?
Money first winning a cup second !
As an owner why would you make changes that don't guarantee you more money? At least you know what you get with what you have. Keefe should be gone though.
@@StephenShawCanada yup
hire a cheaper coach lpl
@@StephenShawCanada As long as rich idiot fans keep paying for tickets who cares about a cup 🤣
Good teams make the playoffs
Great teams win in the playoffs
Sid,old.old old.6 team guy from Chicago,you are on the loonie,keep talking!King Clancy,Johnny Bower,Red Kelly,Davey Keon,Turk Broda,Big Chief Jim Nielsen,Bobby Bauan,Bill Bariilko,and tons more is why I am. Arenas,Saint Pats Fan,I like the Blackhawks too!
Man did Sid hit the nail on the head. Almost a decade full of losing in the first round is just unacceptable
Remember when Babs was trying to toughen up Marner? Leafs nation went crazy and canceled him. And now that same nation wants Marner traded because he is too soft for playoff hockey. Hilarious!
Leaf fans are to blame
Toughen up and completely embarrassing someone while throwing them under the bus are two entirely different things bud
@@chrisshiherlis95 disagree. Having stones and leadership sometimes requires you to call others out, even if it embarrasses them. You wanted Marner to be coddled, this is what you get. Looks good on you.
@steve8803 You're telling me with Babcock we would be drinking milk and honey? You act like you know something but probably don't even wear the pants, bud gtfoh
Playing head games with guys is not toughening anyone up its just being a mind gaming prick. If you think Babcock isn't an ass then you are just a dumb. Modano needed 1 more game to play game 1500 in his career and Babs scratched him for what? The last 10 games or so of the season? Thats ridiculous, Modano played the game the right way and was a vet that didnt deserve that treatment. Babcock opening night 2019 scratched Spezza after he just signed with the Leafs and Spezza had his whole family there, and Babcock scratched him last minute. Spezza played the next game. So why do it? He was also a vet that played too long and was too good of a player to deserve that treatment, he deserved respect. Thats what men do that are actually tough, they give and earn respect to those that deserve it. There are also plenty more examples of these stunts that Babcock pulled as well over his career you just need to research them. I love tough coachs like Berube, Torts or even Gallant but what Babcock did is not toughening guys up, thats not sending a message, thats not doing anything other than just being a prick to be a prick and play head games with people, thats what weak men do, they play head games, not tough guys.
You can be a hard nosed tough coach without the head games and tricks that Babcock used for YEARS over his career.
You're never gonna win a 7-game series if you only score 12 goals, and go 1-for-21 on the power play 🤷♀
Huge part of that is Marner, holds on to the puck too long and starts prancing around like a ballerina
Florida scored how many against Swayman? ONE
well said sid love your takes i agree so much
❤, sid spitten truth like always!!!
I waited all weekend to hear Sid's thoughts 😁
Bertuzzi's contract with the Leafs is over now. Odds are Boston re-signs him adding insult to injury.
would you stay
The non-comparable with the Demar-Kawhi analogy is there isnt a Kawhi available for trade. If there is, then by all means go for it
It’s the Ballard curse. The Leafs will not win until 100 years have passed after Ballard’s death! That means 2090 is the earliest since Ballard died on April 11, 1990
Harold Ballard is still alive, his head is kept in an underground headquarters in one of those Futurama jars.
You mean longer than the Cubs, 108 years, seven games and 11 innings!!!!???!!??
@@dovidrotenberg4690 oh yeah. The evidence is all there. Mediocre to good regular seasons followed by disappointing and infuriating playoffs. All the hallmarks of a curse!
@@quique2886 I thought Hallmark produced "Greeting cards" not "damnations"!?!?!?
Don't know why Matthews is untouchable when the team plays better without him.
Yup, in the last 4 games against Boston the Leafs lost two games with him, and won two without him
Cowboys have won 5 super bowls since the Toronto won. Check out how many Cowboy teams since 67' have multiple playoff wins...you want to compare TO to someone I think the Cubs are more in their league lol.
I’m thinking the Bills would be the right analogy
So does the rest of Canada, sick and tired of absurdly late tv time slots as though only the Leafs matter.
L. O. L.
Not A Sid fan but he is 100 % right
he has a booger whistle, listen again..
.
I would also add Domi to that list with Matthews and Nylander. Other than that Sid nailed it
Sid should be the new President and shake things up , maybe we would win some series at that point
"If you rolled a video in a meeting-gone." Hilarious.
Wondering why Keefe isn't gone already? Imlach was fired right after they lost to Boston in 1969 and he actually coached them to 4 cups.
I have been following the Leafs and cheering them on since 1985. If this team doesn't look drastically different next season, not sure i can do it. Starting to feel like a crazy person following this group. They should have made changes after Montreal series.
Your right though Sid, they probably won't make changes because of the cash they are making off those names!!
Former fan from 1968 to 2018 here…50 years of futility….and I finally gave up. Once you do you won’t look back! It’s very cathartic and to a point almost amusing now! But overall very freeing! Let’s Go Oilers!
@@midnightrambler7716 I hear ya, but I'm not giving up!! My dad would come back from the grave and kick my butt.🤣 Good luck to your Oilers!!
I agree, there wont be any serious changes .
Sid needs to go back to Sportsnet!!! He’s 100% right. Sid should be Leafs president actually!!!
1:51 is where Sid is finally allowed to speak.
Ya, Sid is right about most of the problems. This commentary should be directed to the entire Leafs organization. Problem is, bad team or good team, the organization will always make money because of the size of the market! Very little will change as usual and we will say the same thing for the next 50 years. Very sad, upper management can never get it right with their decisions and get the job done!
The real solution is..Let Mitch and JT play out their final year so those salaries are totally gone and aim for last place overall. In 25/26 the cup is yours.
Cup? Bahahahahahaha
I don't agree with Sid on many things but he definitely said everything that I was thinking needs to happen to this team. Thank you for saying what the majority of Leafs fans are thinking and want to say.
Sid for TML GM! I’m no Maple Leafs fan but man he NAILED IT!!! Bravo 👏🏻!
The fact that the Leaf's defense stepped up took them farther than the team, logically, should have gone.
Fans have to stop buying tickets. That’s the only way to get managements attention.
I was waiting to see what mr know it all was going to say
hey. the man is RIGHT
The leafs don’t have to do well. They already make enough money from fans. It’s expected for the leafs not to make it to the second round. No one is shocked
I like your attitude Sid. Matthews gets the C. Tavares and Marner to Pittsburgh with Dubus.
Good takes honestly. Putting everyone on the chopping block will let everyone coming here to manage, coach, or play that we are serious about winning.
Sid has fortitude and the Leafs don't have any balls. Well spoken. Totally agree, Marner needs to sit in the press box next season if he won't lift his NTC. It's time for Matthews to be the new captain. Dubas instigated all these ridiculous contracts. Keefe needed to leave with Dubas to Pittsburgh, so not sure why he was extended for two more years?
You need a great goalie, good defenseman, and forwards who step up.
Leafs have - very decent goalie,
Average defense, and 3 stars and Tavares who don’t score in the playoffs…
Decent doesn't cut it. What's the point of having a goaltender like Woll spends most of the season sitting out healing his injuries and Samsanov is not mentally stable to be in net/goaltending in the NHL
Leafs' season is over? Must be May.
Sid your 100% right ,,shanny has to be gone,, 4 core is over price,,marner is to small to play in the play offs
I like your prediction that NO changes will happen. That’s bold. 👍 Yet that’s what normally happens. Won’t change until people start throwing their jerseys on the ice. That year brought on the Shananplan.
I'd love to be on the show just to "steal" one of those really cool coffee mugs!!!!
The biggest mistake they made was letting Lou go and passing it to Dubas. You can’t win with 4 Ferraris. And 19 mini vans .
LOVE the look he gives the camera when he brings up Marner's entourage, great! And he's 100% right btw. Ditch Mitch and John and you might get better.
Dwayne Casey was also fired after winning coach of the year along with the DeRo trade. Joe Thorton was stripped of the "C" Patrick Marleau before him it was given to Joe Pavelski and the Sharks went to the Cup final. It's telling the Islanders made it to back to back Conference finals AFTER Johnny T walked lol
It's time to roll the dice and pull a Kawhi! Shake things up!
Once again, thank you Sid for saying what needed to be said and saying what a lot of fans of this team are feeling and thinking.
Scoring has been tough in the playoff and Keefe sits Robertson in game 7! He forgets Robertson has the highest scoring rate only behind Matthews.
Well said Sid. Matthews & Nylander are save. Like what you said about Marner.
Sid rules I love him❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yay for Sid 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s happy Monday for me too and so was Sunday when I found out the leafs are out now
shut up, habs suck anyway.
@@tml184 If they do to you that’s fine but you have no power and control to shut me up
Sid for GM. He’s got the biggest set of nuts in sports news today.
Loved Sid when he was with Tim and Sid! I have hated him with BT, but i actually love what he said here! He was bang on!!
Bravo......u hit the nail on the head !!;;!
I freaking love Sid. Too bad he hasn't got a sports specific platform anymore, he needs it again. Huge talent going to waste on BT.
The problem with sticking Marner in the press box is he’ll actually help you win in the regular season, just not playoffs. That shift in game #2 where he didn’t wanna go into the corner with McAvoy says it all, and I’m not even gonna bother with his tantrum on the bench when Nylander called him out.
As a team…
- 1/21 on the PP in this series
- 6 straight game #7 losses (7 incl CBJ in 2020)
- 5 most recent game #7 loses they didn’t score more than 1 goal (2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019)
- 13 of their last 14 playoff games they only scored 2 goals or less
Wow, I actually agree with Sid
I think the main problem is that they didn't score more goals than the other team.
No goals 5 on 5. No goals on PP. Terrible PK. Too many bad goals by Samsonov. Changing lineups in the playoffs?? No, that time is called training camp. Not coming up with effective PP designs that work - coaching issue. Not doing the same on the PK - coaching issue. Not drilling the plays into the heads of the players - coaching issue. Thinking Samsonov should remain a Leaf - Management problem. Thinking Woll can play an entire season without another injury - Management problem. Notice the lack of mentioning any of the forwards or d-men?
Congratulations, you're the new President of Hockey Operations for MLSE!
@@kevinstewart1285 Awesome! Thanks. First order of business: Change very little and hope it goes better next year.
I disagree about everyone on the table because you got players like Knies, Bert, Domi, Edmonson and most of low contract players are decent. Woll is a great goalie problem was at the end of game six when his own dogpiled him to save a goal with a couple of seconds didn't help. Woll team injured him to try to save a goal which they scored after a couple seconds after the dogpile. Mitch is afraid to take a hit and will never succeed in the playoffs because of it.
Has anyone seen Billy? the superfan? Someone check the garage please...
I LOVE YOU SID!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Sorry but i cant take Sids sports talk seriously on this show 😂
*Basically the Leafs need to rebuild I told you that without you having to click this video*
I'm a Rangers fan since '79 and I can say with certainty that while the Rangers have had a successful season (thus far) and I'm cautiously optimistic, the reality is that Glen Sather has been here in one capacity or another for nearly 25 years and with everything he has available to him pre and post Cap has exactly one Finals appearance in that time. He had a world-class goalie and couldn't do anything with him. When Sather hasn't had the shoulders of Messier or Gretzky to ride, he's been a sub-par executive who was more suited to running a lemonade stand than an NHL franchise. Yet, he keeps rolling.
Shanahan is in my 'Top 3' favorites ever. I was at his debut in the Meadowlands way back in the day. But ten years with no results is unacceptable. It insults those who have to produce results for a living.
Sid got it right
Bruins win 🏆 game 7😅
Sid is usually spot on and for the most part I agree with almost everything he says. However, I do think that Reilly especially was injured this series. He played really bad but he was also probably our best player last year against Tampa. I also think there are changes coming. I’m not sure if the changes will be to our core four (for this upcoming season at least, due to Marner and Tavares NMC) but I do think that keefe, shanahan and guy Boucher will be gone. Tre will be the only one safe.
What needs to happen in Toronto is that they get an expansion franchise.
Demar and Kyle's team also made an ECF, at least.
But what Masai did was gutsy and I don't see the Leafs replicating what would be equal to trading DeMar, Poetl and a 1st for a superstar, then trading a young big in JV for a veteran in Gasol. Also firing the coach of the year--I'll be happy if we can pack Marner and Sammy, at least
True. Raptors went a lot further than the Leafs. Nonetheless Shanahan doesn’t seem like he has the balls to make bold moves that may be unfavourable to fans.
Sid, I'd agree with you about lobbing everyone except Matthews/Nylander, but honestly, I think the Leafs should keep on Knies, McCabe, Edmundson, and Woll as a backup as well.
I don't think Rielly goes realistically. That guy IS a Toronto Maple Leaf. He may have sucked this series, but he's worth keeping on as a leadership guy.
Domi as well worth keeping.
They probably will trade Marner though and will get fleeced. They could get more if they traded Matthew's as his stock is high. Marner can create chances for others and Nylander can create his own offense. Matthew's is a shooter, best in hockey who needs a setup guy.
