Some times are better than others and in hindsight last off-season was the time maybe, who knows, but excusing their current inactivity just because there's a few hurdles or like it's such an impossible task is blowing my mind. These are the executives we have in charge?
I almost feel like you need to throw dynamite at it next summer.
I think the vast majority of us are pretty much thinking we'd want Shanahan gone...well he brought in Treliving. Tree replaced Dubas because we were disappointed in our playoff results and wouldn't pivot off the core players.
Tree hasn't changed any of the core and I guess the playoff success remains to be seen. Wes Clark still had ties with Dubas, suspect Pridham may jump ship.
Would like to change the people at top because otherwise Tree is Shanahan's guy and Shanny isn't even around anymore.
I know that is radical thinking though as typically GMs get longer rope but we've got 4 years of Matthews and that's that, if you don't win in that window of time, accept you won't be winning at all with this group of players even though they've kinda shown you they're not capable anyway.
Where/when did they admit this? I’m on here pretty frequently but do not recall this at all.
Lebrun or Friedman basically said the Leafs looked around the league at what Nylander would get them back in a trade, didn't like the options so they committed to re-signing him.
