TSN: Leafs set to interview Treliving for GM role

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't buy it - we'll see.

I do, he's basically the only name that's truly been out there.

Doug Armstrong a little bit but that never seemed realistic

Yeah dubas is a straight up rat with how all this played out. Says he needs time away for his family, yet hes checking in with the pens less than a week after he said he would be nowhere else this year.

Dubas learned from Matthews and Marner on how to be a little f***in rat during contract negotiations. Its actually disgusting behavior, and him using a cop out like his family is so f***in pathetic.

I feel like a broken record saying this again and again but he's a politician to the core. These Dubas types of people always have a self-serving agenda behind the scenes.

I think it was me and @thewave telling people he was putting on an act for his postseason presser last week and a few of the posters seemed legitimately outraged for even suggesting such a thing.

There's a whole list of potential replacements. It's been a week and the playoffs are still on

There are yes, but based on what Shanny said he wants, that sounds A LOT like Brad Treliving

 

[The Masters]

we r doomed

 

[Metal God]

Please no to Brad Treliving

I like Treliving for the role. But I'm not sure we can expect too much to be different if Shanny is still planning to meddle and dictate things like he did with Dubas. The puppet doesn't matter if it's the same hand inside.

Perhaps Shanahan did more meddling because Dubas was young and inexperienced. I don't want to make blind assumptions. But I still don't like the idea of a GM that isn't fully autonomous.

My biggest concern with BT is that he hired Sutter and his drafting does not look great.

How do you know it wasn’t the Calgary owner who hired Sutter ?

I don't. Usually it is the GM that hires the coach.

It's not unusual to have to report to the president

He must have majored in drama at school. Such a bs narrative. I hope hes blackbslled like Nolan for trying to take Mucklers job....slimeball....

2015-2016 draft years were awesome though. Plus it's the scouting department that's in charge of all that. Our scouting is much better than Calgary's.

From what I've heard, Treliving did not want Sutter, it was ownership who wanted, and hired, him.

 

[Subway Schenn]

A pretty massive joke that Treliving is basically the only candidate it seems.

Seriously.

Someone please convince me otherwise

 

[The Masters]

One hope I have for Shanny not to hire Brad is that he can talk to ownership and knows how to deal with them and Shanny may see that as a threat, especially after the failed power play Dumbass tried to do.

 

[Warden of the North]

Seriously.

Someone please convince me otherwise

I can create a twitter account and start rumours. Who's your favourite candidate?

 

[GoonieFace]

I’m ok if it’s Treliving to be honest. He should be able to handle the mess that Dooby left.

I think there's a pretty strict reporting structure in the corporate world. If Treliving tries to jump over Shanahan, they are going to question what's going on...it wouldn't look good on Treliving.

I'm with you. Treliving wouldn't be my first choice but I understand given the circumstances (short timeframe, experience req'd) why Shanny would go with him. I think there is enough there to at least give him a chance. Undoubtedly he's going to have to clean up Dubas' mess so it's not going to be an easy ride for him.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit

It's a really good time to dump the Leafs for a new team. May I suggest Pittsburgh!?

[rumman]

You wouldn't say that if you've eaten it.
Pizza slice is easily the worst food item they sell there.
To their credit they do have some other good offerings at a fairly decent price.


OT - I find all these various management threads that basically say the same things hard to keep track of.
Be great if there was just a catch all thread on the subject.

none of these chains make a really great pie, but Boston Pizza is miles from that pizza Pizza crap. anyone in the west end of Toronto do yourself a favour and get a pie from Il Paesano's, cut my teeth on their crust as a kid in the early sixties. I get one anytime I go to the big smoke...........

 

[socko]

Not to worry folks. I hear Shanny is on the phone right now taking care of this.
