Participantmy best guess I have the Leafs taking Mckenna at 90% and 5% they pick someone else and 5% they trade the #1 pick
The Leafs having a 10% chance at doing the correct thing tracks.

Participantstill could happen.
we will not know if choosing McKenna is a mistake. only time will tell.
Damn, Mr. French’s take would be nice about now.It’s a mistake. He’s not a generational player. He’s small. He plays wing. He’s not physical. He can’t play defense.
Absolutely everything about his player profile is the opposite of what the Leafs should want or need. Even in a “win now” mode, he doesn’t keep Matthews here. He doesn’t win you playoff games. And in a “rebuild” mode he gives the Leafs none of the qualities you want from a cornerstone player. He will score points and lose games that matter, that’s what time will tell.

ParticipantThe trade proposal moves Rielly and Nick Robertson to Vancouver for Elias Pettersson.
this potential trade is intriging.
I’d do the trade.
Pettersson and Nylander would be a soft line but very skilled one.
someone like Bunting to get them the puck could work out.Taking one of the most overpaid, overrated players from the worst team in the NHL is a joke, right?
The Sedins are going to keep their Swede boy right where he is. Sundin shouldn’t be that stupid.
Pettersson and Nylander would get obliterated defensively, especially in the playoffs (wouldn’t make it anyway).

ParticipantI just saw that the Leafs told McKenna is going 1st overall at this upcoming draft
Which would be a mistake. Stenberg is better. Trading down is also better for an extra 1st round pick and taking a top pair RHD like Reid or Verhoeff which the Leafs need much more than another Nylander.
At the same time, the Leafs have been super leaky lately. It could just be a test to see who is leaking information. It could also be to change the way trade negotiations are going. There’s half a dozen scenarios it could be.
still could happen.

ParticipantIt’s nuts that the Hurricanes’s AHL team is now also in the Calder Cup Final.

ParticipantEdmonton looking at Babcock for coach. Sounds great.
another tire fire for fans to look at and away from the Leafs.I cant imagine that would work out well for Edmonton and specifically Mcdavid.
hope the Oilers can get their man

If #Oilers elect to continue down the path with Mike Babcock, sources say the #NHLPA is in receipt of “significant” additional claims from their own investigation with players that were not publicly reported in 2023.Those claims were presented to #NHL prior to his resignation.
Furthermore, sources indicate that asking players to see photos is NOT what ultimately resulted in Babcock’s resignation. It was the subsequent (unknown) allegation reported below that cost Babcock his job in #CBJ.

The question is….which team? If the Leafs make the pick, he’s a Leaf. If the Canucks decide to trade up, then he goes there. They just need to fleece them for another 1st to make that deal, or a top prospect.
Fuck these stupid Captcha!
