Hardly. He’s been gone for a matter of months, and there isn’t a person alive that thought the Leafs were going to breeze through this year. I’ve been saying for literally over a year that Marner had to be booted into the sun, 2025-2026 was going to be a down year or a complete write off, then the Leafs would have cap space and flexibility to improve. Now, I did NOT predict that next year’s UFA class was going to be coming straight off the short bus, but what can ya do?
Knies is still improving, Cowan is playing much better than I expected, JT is a stud, Willy is doing his usual thing and improving a bit defensively, (yes, I understand that bar is exceptionally low). Matthews will get going playing with Knies and Cowan, book it.

There is nothing this team can do to fix the mess it created. Shanahan was a retard who had his puppet Dubas. Treliving was another puppet who has never proven he can build anything other than the garbage he left behind in Calgary after he lost their stars for next to nothing but problems. They have no elite prospects, they have no 1st round pick until 2028 and the current collection of players is bad enough to almost be a lottery team. Every dinosaur on D will get older and they have little to no hope of any UFAs solving their problems.
This team fucked itself and this year is a preview of what is to come as they are circling the drain and will be rebuilding sooner rather than later.
Their only hope is to fire Treliving now to guarantee they can trade all their assets over 25 years old for maximum value and start the rebuild correctly this time.

He’s not laughing, he’s working for the NHL because no good team will hire him. He’ll end up in some dump like Buffalo and continue to be a failed executive. Treliving is also a failure. This mess isn’t on one or the other of them. They’re both failures.

ParticipantWrong!
Dubas destroyed this team with his NMC giveaways like Oprah.
If it wasn’t for that – little bitchy mitchy his muffins and playoff failure/fear would’ve been outta Toronto and a FAR superior Rantanen would’ve been a Leaf and dominated as he usually does playoff time.
That never happened cause Tre could only ask the little greedy shit to waive and bitch said no. Made up fake claims that cops refuted and other teammates said they didn’t hear about.
Enter dumb dumb tre – trading 1st rd picks for Carlo/Laughton.
Dubas destroyed this team and Tre did terrible with what was left.
Who knows about Shanny. Nobody here can ever say factually his level of involvement in the contract deals etc.
But blame past present future is spread to 2 people.
You gotta either be deaf or an incel to not understand that.

Still don’t know how to hit that “quote” button there 23BigIQ? Fucking pure retard level of analysis here, surely from that Junior C CTE that left you drooling at your keyboard.

ParticipantI will respond to stupid just won’t quote it.
Your crusade to go against Hall of Famers continues with Shanny eh?!
You type better – I hockey better.
Never played a game of Jr. C in my life. But I’m sure some guys in here did and there’s nothing wrong with that. At least they accomplished you never could – share and leave your parents basement.
Enough of you today, Mr. Mercedes.

Then you’d be talking to yourself a lot, which actually tracks.

Shanahan was a fantastic player. Terrible executive. Just like Tavares is a fantastic one-way, offense only, regular season player but terrible playoff performer who has never won anything in his NHL career. Really great guy though. But not a winner.
You type better – I hockey better.
You hockey better? Must be why all your hockey opinions are as retarded as your ability to type them up.
Never played a game of Jr. C in my life.
Oh right, you were busy in the timers box during the games and jock sniffing with the puck bunnies after the games.
But I’m sure some guys in here did and there’s nothing wrong with that. At least they accomplished you never could – share and leave your parents basement.
You know a lot about basements, maybe that’s because you spent so much time living in them recovering from your CTE that’s left you retarded.
Enough of you today, Mr. Mercedes.
Enough of your retardation, come back when you’ve found a clue and learned how to click a big red button to quote.

ParticipantApparently the leafs have traded away 40 draft picks including 7 first rounders since Matthews got here.
Not a way to build a team.
So much for using marners money to build depth.
Trade away players, get picks and finish in the bottom 5 this year. This team has needed a step back season for years.
Trade Laughton for what he should have been acquired for. A 3rdNovember 24, 2025 at 6:36 pm #51092Unholy_Goalie

Trade Laughton for what he should have been acquired for. A 3rdThe silver lining for tanking this season is there are some solid options at 3rd-5th overall, some big body players, solid RHD etc. I’m actually not too keen on McKenna. He’s a winger, he’s small and he seems like another Taylor Hall. Still probably a dangerous offensive player but obviously not what the Leafs need more of.
That being said, when Matthews returns, Tanev returns, Stolarz returns and so on, it’s going to be really hard for the Leafs to actually be THAT bad unless they trade everybody, which they won’t do this year. Which means the dreaded “6th overall” scenario where the Leafs miss the playoffs but still surrender a high, top 10-15 pick to Boston.
The Leafs will have to first, fire Treliving, second, trade all expiring contracts in 2026 and again in 2027. You trade Matthews, Nylander and everybody else over 25 at the 2027 draft. You tank in 2028. Tank again in 2029. Hope you can sign McDavid to a max contract (Leafs will have unlimited cap space by now) and then compete again in 2030 with a new crop of 1st round picks, top prospects, lotter players and maybe a slim chance at adding McDavid as the leader of the new group of young players on ELC. Keep Knies, Cowan and Danford and keep adding through the draft with what few picks we still have until 2028.

ParticipantThe Leafs fan base is 70% clowns.
Total goober homerism player bias fans.
But the club has been really good for quite a while though. Until this season, of course. Some knew the fall would come losing Marner and Matthews needed Marner. So that’s losing one and a half top players.
The club was a shiny new thing that gave Toronto sports fans hope. Once the lustre started wearing off, and we became frustrated by the cracks in the pavement (Carnival iykyk), it was over. Then the writing on the wall with Marner leaving, it’s was over. Shakespearean tragedy mixed with an Adam Sandler comedy. Neither are my thing. I don’t understand how anyone would stick around for another rebuild.

ParticipantSTILL Dominating! I won’t stop until I have 1000 alts and every board is ONLY ME.
Actually, I can’t stop. My mental health crisis is not being taking serious, and everyone needs to apologize to Marner for being so mean. It really hurt my feelings. Especially dozzer, he was the meanest.
Baby shark do-do-do-do-do-do!
