Comments already starting but just wait until the Toronto media starts with the narrative that the Blues would have also won the Cup in 22 if Binnington didn't get hurt!

If Treliving continues the current trend of turning the Leafs into a one-dimensional band of grinders with a slow and unskilled blueline, Berube should be just the guy for them.

Do we know how much money Berube makes in Toronto?
First step is to find a way to get rid of the 11M AAV 3rd liner so they have money to build a real defense.
Rare blend of being a player's coach and having a firm grip.
Meh. It can only go up from there. I'd take that over the soft as butter with no defense Dubas era.

Completely false. The team was never soft as butter and their defensive numbers before this year were elite. If anything they’re much softer and slower now than they were before.
They’ve whittled away at their identity for ten years now and the team can’t win unless Matthews goes full God mode.
And no it can most certainly get worse than this. Just look at the mess the Flames became under Treliving.
The Leafs never got it done because they didn’t properly address their depth and their goaltending went from mediocre to bad. And instead of acknowledging that maybe they didn’t have a legit top defensemen and added more puck skill/speed instead of a bunch of talentless plugs like Edmundson they’d be in better shape.
I should add that yes, I think Marner is soft AF but not because of his style of play, because he unravels the moment he runs into adversity in the postseason.
This is why punctuation matters. I think that guy means no one cares about the ECF because Michkov might be coming over but instead it just reads as whining that no one cares that Michkov might be coming over

One Avalanche player got a Selke vote this year. Guess which.

I saw that. I appreciate that MacKinnon puts in work on the defensive side and doesn't float, but that doesn't mean he is GOOD at it by any means. Passable, at best.
If anyone on the Avs deserved to get a vote, it's got to be Lehkonen or Nichushkin (obviously the votes went in before Nuke hoovered his career up his nose).

Sam Reinhart:
- Finished 4th in Selke votes
- 57 goals/94 pts season
- performs relatively well in the playoffs
- only 28 years old
- UFA
CHA CHING!
Biggest UFA trap to hit the market I've seen in a long, long time. Some team is about to get f***ed. Hard.
There were rumors out of Montreal last week that they could offer him 10.5M X 7

Oh, I read it as no one cares that Michkov might be ejaculating at this very moment

When the dad talks publicly about which line or PP unit his son wants to play and stuff it's a red flag IMO

Necas = Burakovsky. A nice luxury to have, a guy who can be your 6th best top six guy but not a core piece.
