has to be an upgrade on Berube. hopefully can get AM back to his 50 goal ways
Some cope for Leafs fans – under Jim Hiller, the Kings were:
– 2nd in 5v5 goal share
– 7th in 5v5 xGoal share
– 7th in 5v5 shot shareOn one hand: His regular season record in LA was excellent, and the Kings were the second best 5v5 goal differential team in the NHL from the moment he started to the moment he was fired.
On the other: There’s no way he can lose to the Oilers in the first round in the East.
Who did???
I don’t think his name was ever mentioned or link to the position.yeah the insiders are really outside on the Leafs rumors
Babcock’s old assistant in Toronto
Chayka tried to bring him in as an assistant in Arizona but was outbid by the Islanders
He coached the Kings up until this year
As I said, used to this crazy ass city already and already knows the core pieces, not a bad choice at all.
I would assume the AM/WN would have been asked also. 3 first round losses as Kings head coach, so I guess he fits the leafs mold
so Jim Hiller is the new head coach for the Leafs!!!!!
wow!!!
I mean WOW!!!!i dont know shit about coaching, but this feels very underwhelming as a hire, after a month of “searching”
Andrae porjected around 2mil, which is fine. Ersson may not be qualified or be depth cheap who cares.
still 3mil to put to better use.Chayka drafting 6-8 years ago is not really important in 2026, he just needs to put the right people in place. thats very much up in the air still
Emil Andrae on ice goals were 36-22 (62%)
high danger 177-155 (53%)good bottom pair sheltered results.
its the size or he would be in high demand.imo the Trade is basically Woll for Emil Andrae and a 3rd the rest cancels out
Hutson is 5’9″ and he well the this year’s playoff run with the Habs.
its not always about the size, Jackson Blake and Stankoven are the same.
but swapping pylon Benoit for a puck mover makes sense. he is a 5/6, thats fine.and I like Simon Benoit but he is a net negative on the ice.
this should be a win for the rebuild crowd, get another pick in 2026
Ersson is not in the plans im sure, AHL or not signed.
Stolarz/Hildeby/Akhtyamov are the Goalies.Woll at least had some trade value, so he goes.
Cap space means a lot when they can use to take a bad contract with a pickI don’t the deal
Mats is happyA 1b goalie/backup who is injured a lot and a 7th D… which gets 5 mil cap space if they want, and a 3rd back
seems fineFine trade, Woll didnt have much value at all, most goalies dont and with Hildeby/Akhtyamov coming…whatever.
Benoit alost zero value.Getting a 3rd for Woll would have been fine, Emil Andrae useful moreso than Benoit. the other goalie who cares just a toss in
Leafs also 5mil cap space
TRADE: We’ve acquired defenceman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit
they dont have thier own 1st in 2027 but they do have a 1st (thanks Mitch).
That 2027 pick to Philly is top 10 protected according to the NHL.
the 2027 avs pick is also top 10 protected.
going to be interesting to see how this all plays out#1 pick doesn’t make the Leafs a contender again nor does it provide the Leafs with a legit cornerstone piece either especially if they waste it on McKenna who only gives the Leafs more of the same style of play that has lost them so many playoff series.
Also, means no 1st in 2027, no 1st in 2028 and one bad move away from Matthews leaving town.
Leafs are worse off as a contender and need to start a full rebuild all because they ran Marner out of town.
the #1 pick doesnt have to make them an immediate contender, I know you like straw man arguments.
Most #1 picks come to a team thats pretty weak that doesnt have many other good players, and they are expected to be the star immediately. thats not the case here.they dont have thier own 1st in 2027 but they do have a 1st (thanks Mitch).
The Matthews wants to leave stuff has gone cold. It was fluff to begin with. Doing a full rebuild and yes, he would likely want to leave. makes sense. But thats not what is going to happen.
deal with it, or cry moreLike most retard Leafs fans, which is why they’re all spewing out of their ass today.
I didnt need to, I wrote my post about mitch shitting the bed in an elimination game a couple hours before the game started, its the most predictable outcome
I didnt watch the game, but this seems sooo Marner
elimination game Mitch!Vegas stats with Mitch Marner on the ice while facing elimination in Game 6 (at 5 on 5):
Offensive zone faceoff %: 80% (!!)
Shots for: 0
Shots against: 8Expected goals: 13.47% (!!)
Goal differential: -2
For hockey casuals, a translation:
Vegas started in the offensive zone 80 PERCENT of the time Marner was on the ice. That’s called “sheltered deployment.”
Despite that, his team literally registered 0 shots on goal in his 14:37 on the ice at even strength.
Numbers this bad are HARD to achieve.
Guess how many other Vegas players weren’t on the ice for a single Vegas shot on goal in Game 6?
That’s right! Zero.
Were any other Vegas players on the ice for all 3 Carolina goals against?
Nope! Just Marner.
