Hey they threw the pissed off fans a bone to deflect the anger by signing Gio. Then they executed the goalie coach and the Russian scout. Truth is dumb and dumber were being kept no matter how the team did in the playoffs unless fans stormed SBC arena I guess.

By execution you mean not extending the contract of the goalie coach? And firing Director, Player Evaluation, Jim Palilfito? BTW the also fired Cam Charron.

BTW why would fans storm the SBC arena?

Yea, may has well hang onto all your big money guys.
Maybe next year will be different. Maybe there will be some more good bargains at Flea Agency Market and everything will be fine. Maybe the high end offence won't get neutered in the later games of a playoff series. Can't happen again, right?

Can and may happen. Last summer I was one of those who said that trading Marner is mistake and can be done this summer. How many of us wants to trade him?

There is Lindros case where you can say team won trade by trading away their elite talent or superstar. Nylander for spares leads into that same bargain bin shopping.

For right trade it is no brainer to shake up things, but if you look last ten years there isn't that many good examples. I don't think we are in position where we force trade with player like Nylander.

Predators did that with Weber and I'd argue that cost them the Cup.

Bad news is that we can lose even with new GM and coach and with major shake up, this is competitive sport.

Matthews isn't leaving, I think he understands he's going to make the most here and MLSE will pay him whatever he wants. I think Marner and Nylander are the guys you worry about losing to UFA.
 
The young man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow
Most do things the old way, in the playoffs they pay a hard price
When I think back about the young man and his words
Since I've been older I can see he could never be right

Another early summer up Highway Eleven
This is the plan, it's what they chosen to do
There may be some free rides Shanny ne'er said it'd be easy
The young man said he knew better that's why I'm telling this to you

Nice to see, even though we have the best player in the NHL, we are still the joke of the league.

He’s not wrong. Only one way to change that perception.

Of course. It was the most crushing attack the hockey world has ever seen. We'll be telling our grandchildren about the time that that SNL guy single-handedly destroyed the Leafs franchise, and forced them to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico in shame. Comedic genius. Must be related to Matthews to come up with such a creative and devastating shot.

The world will never be the same.

Perhaps Dubas should have gone up there and smacked him in the face. Imagine not giving them the same respect Tampa gave them.

I'm writing this paragraph dripping in sarcasm because I'm so unbothered about my beloved team getting mocked on national television.

If he does HF should delete the accounts of every Dubas fanboy, starting with the minister of Leaf propaganda.

I hope it does not happen but for one day and one day only I'd like to hear how they defend Dubas for giving Matty a 5 year deal.

it's going to be funny watching you guys pretend you didn't spend 5 years worrying non stop about the nothing chance of Matthews leaving.

some are worried. More are pissed they did not sign him for the max term.

For your sake, I hope your post ages well.

Get it right. We've been worrying non-stop about the team wasting away its golden opportunity to go deep into the playoffs and bring the Cup back to Toronto.

They didn't win anything though. Straight L's.
