Mitch didn’t want to leave. Management and retards like you pushed him to leave. Enjoy the collapse of this team and the next rebuild as a result of your own retardation.
man, you are totally WRONG about this statement.
Marner was never going to re-sign with the Leafs.
But you do you.Tanking certainly has it’s benefits this year, if they full blown tank it.
No. 3: Keaton Verhoeff, D, 6-foot-4, 212 pounds, North Dakota (NCAA)
Made a gutsy call when he decided to join Victoria teammate Cole Reschny at North Dakota. Reschny was Calgary’s first round pick, 18th overall in 2025, while Verhoeff is expected to go shortly after McKenna in June. He doesn’t possess McKenna’s track record and plays a different position, so it will be fascinating to track Verhoeff’s progress as a draft eligible defenceman in college. The debate will be heavy as to whether he was better off getting more games in the CHL, or utilizing a lighter NCAA schedule to become stronger. Only time will tell. He has checked all the boxes on the way up the developmental ladder from Canada’s Youth Olympic team through gold medals at the U17s and U18 worlds. Most recently, he was Canada’s captain in a bronze medal-winning performance at the Hlinka-Gretzky.
No. 4: Ethan Belchetz, LW, 6-foot-5, 227 pounds, Windsor Spitfires (OHL)
His size always allowed him to dominate youth hockey, and now he is doing the same in the OHL. Last year, Belchetz put up four goals in his third ever OHL game, but tailed off to score just 13 more in the next 53 contests. He roams the ice like he owns it. His hands and feet work well together to create additional space to execute plays. He’s got a big league shot that is effective from distance. I like the fact that he plays in a Windsor lineup with other over-sized players like Chicago prospect AJ Spellacy, and Kings prospect Liam Greentree. Belchetz is a different player, with more offensive upside than both, but he can definitely get some guidance from them on how to navigate his draft season.
No. 5: Ryan Roobroeck, C, 6-foot-4, 216 pounds, Niagara IceDogs (OHL)
Has already set a high bar for himself, having put up 41 goals and 86 points in his draft minus-one season in the OHL. That production is made all the more impressive considering there’s been a lot of noise in the organization since the day he was drafted. With Frank Evola now running the ship, things will settle down this season. Evola brought in head coach Krys Barch who was a solid OHL producer with size and someone Roobroeck can take mentorship from. Another great late birthday player in this draft, Roobroeck’s final ranking will come down to how he progresses in non point-producing situations.
This and he’s a goal scorer who is now playing for a coach who wants this team playing a style that aims at 2-1 or 3-2 type wins. Can’t see him liking that too much.[/quote]
– DozzerBerube uses centres like 3rd dmen out there. Never fun for a player like him.
Hey fatty!
Nope. Wrong.
Mitch left. He chose to leave. He stated it was time to move on.
If a guy ‘like me’ can force mitchy to leave – it doesn’t surprise me he slink away come playoff time – when things get tight space wise and player play mean.
I couldn’t care less if Leafs ever won a cup again – no offence to the fans on here but it definitely won’t change my life at all. I’d love to see it though – be super fun and exciting to watch happen. But truly won’t lose sleep either way.
As always my little incel friend – all you do is make yourself look classless and foolish. You have zero understanding of this great game.
Super high IQ though I bet – you type fantastic!!
You’re FIRED!
I saw an error the page – so here’s the correction: (actually an error in genetics making an error)
Treliving ASKED mitchy to go for a FAR superior winger, and mitchy (as was his right…thanks Kyle) said WAAHH NO, put out his bottom lip and was whisked away by his daddy to a safe house as the death threats keep pouring in.
23BigIQPoints as retarded as ever.

They had the 7th or 8th fewest goals against in the league last year when Stolarz and Woll were actually stopping pucks. Not so much now with Stolarz at the bottom of the league in GA.
Obviously they’re not playing well defensively. They make too many mistakes and McCabe and Carlo are playing like crap. They may not be a very good team but I think they can and will play better than they have been. I think we see some trades fairly soon.
Stolarz wasn’t just average last year, he wildly overachieved. So if you’re expectation is that the Leafs goalies have to overachieve every single season just to be in the top 10 in GA, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Some idiots, including Treliving, didn’t believe it but I told everybody that Stolarz is a career back-up. He had a career year. He has injury problems and can’t play a full season. He fell back down to Earth. This team was not playing good defense last year or this year. They were just getting extraordinary saves that aren’t there anymore.
McCabe was given an extension. Carlo was acquired for a top prospect and what could become a 6th overall pick. That’s on Treliving’s idiocy, among many other stupid moves he made this offseason.
You’re delusional if you think trades will make this team better. Treliving loses every trade he makes in Toronto. Trades making this team better is like expecting a blind raccoon to perform brain surgery on a gunshot wound.
Leafs are second in the league in scoring. Problems are being able to get the puck out of their end and mistakes. It’s not a systems problem, it’s an execution problem.
This team is incapable of being 2nd in scoring and 2nd in defending. This Leafs team either doesn’t score and defends or it attacks and loses 5-4. It’s built upon core players that play one-dimensional hockey.
The difference between this team and the Phil Kessel team, is now we have more Phil Kessels.

Just a gut instinct to be honest. After they got eliminated last year, 16/34 and a couple guys were golfing together two days later. El Capitan said after 16 left that they would be friends forever or something along those lines. Matthews hasn’t seemed to be playing with the same passion so far, either.
The whole thing gives me Lowry/DeRozan vibes, minus the part about winning a championship.
Except, DeRozan got Kawhi and an immediate championship. Treliving got dick on a stick after he let Marner go like a retard.
