Just like the Hamburgler....The Lyon will have a rude awakening come playoff time.

I saw that, too. Dubas' contract ends this year. So if Leafs don't have a deep run, he's not coming back.

But unless Sens fire Dorion (which my guess is they'd already have done so if he were to be fired), then I see Dubas going elsewhere.

I could be wrong, but I think Dorion is still safe in Ottawa. Even though they missed the playoffs, Sens did take a step in the right direction this year. They were no longer a Bottom-10 team. They were competing for a playoff spot for a good while in March/April. So there was progress.

I think it's more than just Dubas on the hot seat contract or no. Another 1st round exit will probably lop off higher heads.

George McPhee always favored drafting Russians - McLellan’s never been as big a fan

Rumours about Dubas going to the Sens if TO is eliminated quickly?

Dubas's name is popping up in a lot of current G.M. openings. Pittsburgh is apparently interested in him too. He'll have a ton of interest if Leafs do let him walk. Unlike Bergevin, he'll actually get another G.M job.

Are the current owners going to fire Dorion? I would expect they would leave things as they are and let whoever buys the team decide if they want to keep him.

technically, they'd still miss out the playoff based on Regulation Wins tiebreaker

Still funny

Treliving out.

Get on the phone Hughes. See if you can get more draft picks out of the Flames.

I get why the Leafs didn't extend Dubas before entering the final year of his contract and likely wanting to see how the playoffs go for them first this season but if I'm Dubas I'd also be a bit ticked off with his current contract situation.

If I were him, even if the Leafs win vs Tampa and the Leafs wanted to talk extension after, I'd still let my contract expire and see just what other options would be available to him first before making a decision on returning to the Leafs or not.

If the Leafs lose in round 1 he's likely out as the Leafs GM but if they do win a round or 2 I fully expect him back with the Leafs, which is where he likely wants to be anyway.

Ok let’s go bruins (gag, barf)

Bergevin should get the leafs Gm job.

Have no choice to root for them for obvious reasons. Will also be rooting for their 2nd round exit.

I’m not entirely positive Shanahan’s job is safe w a 1st round Leafs exit.

What we’re starting to see this offseason, is the Covid patience is over, owners want results now.

If Leafs lose 1st round, Shanahan & Dubas might be out the door.

You can remove "might"...they are getting the boot

Does it matter? I thought only the cup finalists were re-seeded.

Bergeron a game time decision. Was he already suffering before he played in Montreal and only started because it was possibly the last game here before family and friends? I don't even remember an incident during the game that hurt him? I just knew he didn't turn up for the second period.

I mean, he'd probably do good there since he can't get star players (but they already have those!) but he's great at getting all the supporting bargain bin grinders.

 

[Rapala]

I can't help but laugh when I look at EVP and see Eric Karlsson holding down fourth spot at 74 with a whopping -26 to go along with it. To put it into proper context the other three players are Nate McKinnon 77 +29 David Pastrnak 76 + 34 and Connor McDavid 75 + 22. The only player near the top coming in the negatives is Nikita Kucherov at 68 -2. Offensive defenseman for sale any takers?

They showed him on the bench he was clearly in pain. Then we learned he would not return for precautionary reasons.

Not sure how it happened tho..official narrative say it's an illness
