"Willingness" not stupidity. Tampa traded a draft class for Jeannot, we do not need that kind of willingness lol

paul armstrong says:

the collection of lifeless grey vampires that have control of MLSE will look for a very pliable servant to be the front man as long as the cash flow increases

Quebec Sucks says:

A mistake was made here. Was it Kyle Dubas agent, Kyle, Shanny? Dubas is someone I’ve always enjoyed listening to.

He’s smart, articulate and often a lot more open than many of his more experienced colleagues. One of the brightest minds in the game. You will not find another like him right now. He can not be replaced. I do not see anyone coming in and doing better. It is not to late to fix this mistake. The leafs have made the playoffs every year under his watch. The team has one of the best records in the league over he last 5 years. It just knocked off Tamp Bay this year and made it to the second round for the first time in over 20 years, Glass half full here. This team is good and getting better yearly. Fix this mess before it gets real ugly. Meet guys, come on, do what's best for the team right now. Kyle and Keefe have done a good job here…..wake up!!!

Seriously, what does the self-professed “insider” report on that we either don’t already know and can piece together for ourselves, or that’s so exclusive that it doesn’t matter whether or not the “exclusive” reveals itself in the next prime news cycle?! Nothing against the guy and credit to him for being able to sell it (as it’s a great way to make a living), but it’s a little bit funny.

Glass Joe says:

Ron retire you old backstabbing scumbag.

S Nack says:

time to get Chiarelli and Bergevin as prez and couch, respectivley. get rid of the Shanny clown. go leafs

jacob brown says:

Mark hunter will make the tough choices. But shanahan over looked him and got rid of lou also. Instead he hired a kid who didnt even have success in the ontario hockey league and expected him to succeed. The morins on leafs reddit all want kyle back lol. What a bunch of idiots. Dufas has never once got into the eastern final, never mind the stanley cup final. Yet you would think he has won three stanley cups with the popularity people in the media like ( steve dungle ) complain. Dufas traded away four draft 1st round picks and multiple other picks. He never provided tough guys to protect his core talent Which led to teams running their young talent during the playoffs. Even oreilly will leave after this season. He cost the leafs a first and multiple other picks. This hurts the leafs. Never mind keeping holl, signing many players to no movement clauses in their final years, trading for murray, and giving unproven young talent huge contracts when they are in their rfa years. Dufas was not a very good manager. Lou and hunter left him with mathews, marner, nylander, reilly, and woll. He hasnt added much to that. Never mind yhey havent gotten anywhere near the eastern final.

DWANE BYERS says:

** GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY !! TRADE REILLY AND MATHEWS, and get 2 big tough defensemen, a Power Forward, DRAFT PICKS and GET SOME GRIT !! ALA FLORIDA'S TCACHUK. MATHEWS AND REILLY WILL NEVER HAVE MORE MARKET VALUE THAN THEY HAVE TODAY. REPLACE the Points you lose in the AGGREGATE. LET SHANNY RUN THE SHOW, STOP THE POLITICS.

McLean is a leftwing snake

Jacob Monster says:

Organization? You mean ice hockey club!

othaVada says:

Trevling would fix the Maple Leafs in a hurry.

PTH says:

Toronto needs a complete rebuild. Toronto is a loosing culture and needs a massive shake up.
