Confirmed with Link: Spezza tenders resignation - Update 6/14 Named Penguins AGM

[ShaneFalco]

Spezza is too friendly with the core 4 as well. But at least I understand why.

b/c what role did he really play ?!

 

[yubbers]

now this is a message to you as well, freaking Dubas haters.

the shitshow is ON

lets ride back go the Dark JFJ Nonis Burke era, but hey, at least Dumbass with the glasses who is younger than me is gone!!!

bunch of f***ing clowns

We told you this day would come 5 years ago.

Breathe. LOL

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Spezza is an idiot. This guy could have continued to be groomed to be GM of the Leafs one day.

Let’s be real. Resignation is a nice way of saying that the org is cleaning house and doesn’t want to “fire” everyone.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Probably realized he would get removed by an incoming GM.

I think anyone that resigns should be welcome news for Shanahan and company. They need to get these individuals out of the organization that can't see past their relationship with Dubas.

This includes the players too.

 

[phillipmike]

Spezza has less than one year of experience in a front office. No loss at all. See ya bud.

Laughable for any fan to think Spezza is invaluable.

Breathe. LOL

Four years too late imo……..

It's like results be damned - keep Dubas and Marner forever

 

[Legion34]

I loved what he brought to the team in his last few years but…..

What did he do? Like wasn’t he just at gm fantasy camp

 

[57 Years No Cup]

b/c what role did he really play ?!

Valet? Travel agent? Water bottle picker upper?

 

[trellaine201]

Best for the org

He had no value in his made up role

Mop up?

Spezza is an idiot. This guy could have continued to be groomed to be GM of the Leafs one day.

A recently retired hockey player with $100-million in the bank doesn't need to be groomed for anything.

He came here to play for free -- or as close to free as was allowed by the CBA -- and he's only here because he wants to be here.

It seems he doesn't want to be here anymore.

Life will be fine.

YUP.

 

[trellaine201]

One thing for sure Dubas really FU on the goaltending front lol. I don’t mean to laugh but he really made a mockery of of that very very important position!

 

[Menzinger]

Spezza is an idiot. This guy could have continued to be groomed to be GM of the Leafs one day.

He may not have liked what he saw in terms of the internal dynamics in the front office. He was closer to Dubas' - if he and Shanny had a falling out it's probably not surprising he took one side over the other.

Must...have....young ppl...UGHHHHH....

LOL. Millenials are such weirdos.

 

[capfit9]

Probably saving face since they know they will probably be fired soon anyways.

not surprised since most of the staff are Dubas' people

That might happen.

Laurence Gilman? Brandon Pridham? Auston Matthews? Mitch Marner? William Nylander? Mark Giordano? How far would the discontent run?

Would Spezza have had a chat with anyone before stepping down?

 

[Bomber0104]

He’s a special assistant to the GM. Basically a made up title.

Who cares if he’s gone? He was nothing more than sidekick for Dubas in the pressbox.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

 

[TMLeafer]

He was an intern, Dubas did him a favour. Or maybe he's tired of hockey management, it was a trial run for him anyway to see what he wanted to do after playing.

 

[sxvnert]

Hope he ends up somewhere else in management.

As Morpheus said to Neo

Exactly what did he really do? Love the guy but come on he was an ornament this year.

What are you talking about. Its been public knowledge forever Spezza wanted to get into management post playing career. To suggest he doesn't need a mentor to learn on the job is pretty dumb.

 

[Cleetus]

good you dont want to be here,thats fine lots of fine people that will be more than happy to enter this organization. bye!
