Morgan Rielly "It's stanley cup or bust. I think that’s how our group feels. Anything short of that will be a failure."

Doesn't matter who the GM is, that extra money will be gobbled up.

Yes we're going to spend to the cap ceiling regardless of GM. Not sure why this needed to be stated it's evident

Is our depth chart according to puckpedia
I figure 3 guys have a legitimate shot at making the team and not on there. Patches, A.Nylander and Cowan
Going to be a very interesting camp

Morgan isn't really sure hence the "I think that's how our group feels".

Clearly you haven't been following the conversation...

Your point was when the big number expires, the Leafs will be able to retain their depth.

 

[Kamus]

Woah hey now where's the shame in that?!!

It's got me the same amount of Stanley Cups as Morgan Rielly.

Now compare bank accounts.

Try again.

I have a feeling the Berube signing is going to be looked back on as the equivalent of the Oilers' hiring Dallas Eakins.

If the Leafs ever actually win something, I feel like some part of my own personal enjoyment in life will die.

How is this even possible -- in any imagineable scenario -- in the world's #1 hockey market, with the biggest fanbase, with the most revenue, and as a destination (unlike most Canadian cities) that players actually want to play in?:

It takes a kind of staggering managerial incompetence to pull that off.

Wow, shocking news. I thought their goal was losing instead.

Glad to have this clarified.

Was a theme of the Leafs pressers this year which are different than years past where they would allude to the goal but never actually placed expectations on themselves.

This is the year the Leafs figure it out under Berube and go on a cup run.

Why is this on the main boards?

There's a masochist feel to it.
