The Day After - What we can expect from Dave Nonis

[JMcLeaf]

Says they will only move a young player for another young player

 

[Stats01]

Nonis just said the only way he's moving Gardiner or Rielly is for another good young player. If we're getting Luongo Nonis is going to do it on his terms. He says he likes that there's pressure to make the playoffs each year but they aren't going to move young players to do that. He said trading guys like Gardiner and Rielly would set them back years.

 

[ACC1224]

Has the extension been confirmed?

There goes Gardiner / Kadri for Luongo, thank god.

 

[Patty Lee]

The Leafs have had 9 GMs in the past 24 years, meaning we have a new GM every 2.6 years.

go look at the Ballard years. even worse for coaches back then

 

[rojac]

Impatience.

The Dryden era was bad for that as was the end of the Ballard era.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

I don't really care how long he gets extended.

For me, the clock hasn't reset on him. If Leafs fail to significantly improve, he needs to go as well. He has been part of Leafs management long enough.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Doug Maclean just said he heard last night he has a 3 year contract extension with the leafs, Nonis will be on hockey central at 12:20

just finished.

 

[achtungbaby]

Who reported he was to be replaced by the end of Season again?

Good 3 years is the perfect length - not too long - not too short.

That would be John Shannon.

Hopefully he sticks to his guns.

 

[bobrules]

Nonis said he doesn't operate the same way as Burke. He won't do the early trade freeze.

 

[AndMat*]

Has the extension been confirmed?

He did not say he did, or said he got extension he just said he got a 2 year extension a while ago.

 

[Hero]

Summary for those of us at work?

 

[p.l.f.]

it tells us he's not interim

but he could still be fired if they miss the playoffs
ron wilson ?

Not true at all Listen to his interview, he said MLSE want's him to build long term, and not to just make the playoffs now

 

[Winreims]

I don't believe for ONE second that MLSE is content with missing the playoffs for a ninth year in a row, nor do I believe that MLSE wants him to build long term.

 

[Grant]

Nonis said he doesn't operate the same way as Burke. He won't do the early trade freeze.

I personally always felt that was blown way out of proportion by people. I can say it never prevented any trades from happening and there would be a very very very strong chance I'm right when I say that.

 

[Roboholic]

Nonis said he was not asked to make the playoffs but to build the team longterm.
"Pieces here that are gonna be here long term.
"He was not asked to make the playoffs" and wont be fired if he does not"
"want's size down the middle"
"want to build from the net out like burke"
"you can't put the building blocks in place then move them
"if we trade a young player we trade him for another young player for a position we need"

This is fantastic news, hopefully he lives up to these comments.

 

[johnunit]

Why give the man false hope? we know he'll be replaced by Eakins soon anyway.

Kyper says he believes Dave Nonis is MLSE whipping boy.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why give the man false hope? we know he'll be replaced by Eakins soon anyway.

The coaching carousel has got to stop. I always would prefer a veteran coach here instead of a rookie anyway. I don't think this is the place for a coach to get his first head coaching gig in the NHL. If Eakins goes somewhere else, I won't be shedding a tear.

 

[johnunit]

Kyper says he believes Dave Nonis is MLSE whipping boy.

Kyper hasn't gotten anything right since he was Ryan Vandenbussche's whipping boy.

 

[Roboholic]

Kyper says he believes Dave Nonis is MLSE whipping boy.

Ya but Kyper says a lot of things, mostly his opinions and not based on fact.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Kyper hasn't gotten anything right since he was Ryan Vandenbussche's whipping boy.

Not true.

 

[LeafsNation75]

At least with Nonis getting this 3 year contract it could end the talk that if the Leafs don't make the Playoffs this season he could be fired, because yesterday I heard John Shannon mention that could happen.
