name any other team in any sport where the core run the asylum?

[mikeyz]

Every team except maybe 1 or 2

Name them

 

[Maple Leaf]

Find a good defensive team and trade with them

 

[Rare Jewel]

Basketball and hockey are very different team sports.... For example, an NBA game is 48 minutes long. Some NBA players average more than 40 minutes in a game. That would be equivalent to an NHL player averaging 49 minutes of ice time per game in the playoffs.

It actually kind of makes sense for a core to run a team in the NBA.

It's a shame they've adopted that philosophy of team construction for the hockey team, though.

 

[DarkKnight]

Somebody has never heard of “basketball”.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tre should not resign Kampf. Lafferty can play Kampf role and actually faster and better.
Should had use the Kampf money on Schenn.
Then trade TJ to other teams in the summer for picks and prospects and sign Soucy for 3.25mil.

No one was trading for Brodie in the offseason, or now for that matter. The guy legit can't hockey.

Luke Schenn wanted to go back to the US. As did ROR. That's what happens when you borrow guys for a couple of months.

 

[mydnyte]

God as my witness- there is something VERY VERY ROTTEN with this core. I'm telling you AM/MM/WN/JT and Marners dad tell soft Shanahan how to run this team and org. Its blatently obvious whats going on.

I guess you never heard of this league called the NBA?

 

[34]

Domi isn't worth it either. 4 goals is pathetic.

Domi is gone after this season. No way he gets resigned.

 

[Lemontree]

Cool story bro.......this might also be a factor:

Auston Matthews ($11.6M) - 37g, 18a = 55points
John Tavares ($11M) - 12g, 22a = 34points
Mitch Marner ($10.9M) - 20g, 30a = 50points
William Nylander ($6.9M) - 23g, 38a = 61points

Top 4 paid forwards ($40.4M) - 92g, 108a = 200points

J.T Miller ($8M) - 21g, 42a = 63points
Elia Pettersson ($7.3M) - 25g, 36a = 61points
Brock Boeser ($6.6M) - 27g, 19a = 46points
Andrei Kuzmenko ($5.5M) - 8g, 11a = 19points

Top 4 paid forwards ($27.4M) - 81g, 108a = 189points

Leafs are paying 13M more for 11 more goals/points production to date. Everyone has been sh*tting on Tavares for lack of production which is fair. Marner is far too close in production to Boeser......no one uses the word "elite" to describe Brock Boeser.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Name them

Any team that Lebron James is on.

 

[mikeyz]

Any team that Lebron James is on.

Lol. Dude. Lebron has won like 4 times as many championships as we’ve won playoff rounds in the last decade.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Lol. Dude. Lebron has won like 4 times as many championships as we’ve won playoff rounds in the last decade.

Question was, which teams have stars running the team. James is obvious, irritating, unlikable but successful.
The diffrrence us he vocally and physically leads his teams, challenges non performers and demands teammates passion.
Leaf leaders can perform, but nobody wants to follow.

I think the OP meant "Running the asylum this long without accountability"

 

[leafs in five]

I am not familiar with that expression

 

[Jojalu]

Pretty much every basketball team.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Our top players are the only ones doing their jobs (minus Tavares). They aren’t the problem.

Their cap hits certainly are though.

We do not need rational thinking. Only the Leafs have elite hockey players

 

[Roo]

Their cap hits certainly are though.

Only one more year of Tavares to get through. Obviously not ideal, but we can’t forget how hard it is to get top talent like them.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

yet

I have some negative opinions on this team but a little sick of reading your threads that are dedicated to your negative opinion.

yet youre here to cheer on 57 years of losing.

for decades we used to complain about how elite players would never sign here

and now that we finally have elite players that want to sign here, we complain about how much they're making


lol it's a lose-lose in this city no matter what

its worse now because we have those players. give your head a shake.

 

[Budz]

As a fan of both. Dallas Cowboys.

 

[WillNy29]

Look at the teams that won multiple cups, did you ever hear about the Dads of Crosby, Malkin or Toews, Kane or Kopitar, Doughty?

Playing hardball with Nylander and Marner was amateur hour and Dubas/Shanny poisend the well that way, if Lou was still there you would have just heared player x signed for that and player y signed for that and he would have kept the dirty stuff behind closed doors where it belongs.

apparently Lou f***ed around with Marner and Matthews on their ELCs..

 

[therealkoho]

I'm just surprised that good ol Bri didn't get the Chief of Western pro scouting title, but I suppose the salary is just as good as having the title.

Who?

 

[therealkoho]

Who?

Good ol Bri Matthews

He figures that if Paul can do it, he can do it better having produced the way more elite progeny
