Tre is garbage. Dubas was pretty bad too. I’ve been saying this the whole time. The Leafs could’ve done so well with Matthews/Marner if they surrounded them properly. If they identified the culture issue early on instead of pretending they’ll change, or it’s not bad because the fans like him (Nylander) then the Leafs had crazy potential.
Keep Kadri
Trade Nylander
Keep Hyman
Trade Rielly
Keep Marchment/Verhaghe etc..
Freddy didn’t need to go (he’s slowing down now)
Now Minten is gonna be good.Honestly, just surround Matthews/Marner with Canadians who play physical and are defensively sound. Also, you need a goon.
pretty much. such a wasted era.
Leafs won 1 round big fucking deal, got demolished in gm 7.. not a chance this years team with marner is much better. and it would just be a mirage.
I disagree in that they’d still suck with their best player Marner. He set the tone for the team. He made Matthews successful. He bore the brunt of criticism so Nylander could go float around center ice looking for breakaway passes. He was everything to the team.
But Brad is an awful GM.
this is the 4th season in a row there they have trended down by a decent chunk in xgf, possession whatever you want to look at. Marner was there for 3 of them
Tre has chipped around the edges to try and make the team bigger and tougher to play against..but they are just slower and worse.Because they lost their best player over the summer.
Because they’re stupid.
And because the fans are stupid.
they didnt have great numbers last season either, the goalies really masked a lot.
losing a top line player doesnt help, but even with him they would be bad still. things have been sliding for a few seasons, steadily getting worse with each move Brad makes.I wasnt a fan of the GM tre move. he needs to go
Unfortunately even if they try to bail on season (which they wont), they will still fail and finish with their pick in the 6- 14 range
I think at this point they can easily do it.
they are so bad22 games into the season, the Leafs are in the bottom 5 of the League. just bail on this season, get that top 5 pick.
nothing about their numbers look great. no point trying to fix things nowFire craig brubay and just put a cardboard cutout of Pat Quinn behind the bench
Trade/dump/fire into the sun – Domi, Lorentz, Joshua, Jarnkruk, Carlo, Benoit, myers and prob also Laughton, Roy and macelli
that should do the trick
I could tucker getting 10 years but I dont see Bo getting 10. I think 7 x 27m is pretty accurate.
Bo’s fielding is pretty average and the Jays could easily replace it.
I think its either tucker or Bo plus a quality SP and Bassitt as RP
Maybe the jays sign a cheap bat as well.
Id be fine with signing Tucker and trading for ketel marte depending on cost.I just dont ever want to see Santander play the field again.
Santander should bounce back, the thing with him is hes a free 30hr bat they didnt even need to get to the WS. him in the field is tough to watch, but we have been spoiled with the Jays great D.
assuming hes healthy, I think he has a good season.Room for improvement
Which teams have had good goaltending most consistently?
Top teams in percentage of their games with Quality Starts (positive GSAE)
WPG: 87.5
BOS: 83.3Bottom teams…
STL: 47.1
TOR: 41.2AM and WN on an island.
Maple Leafs at 5-on-5 this season with..
Auston Matthews on the ice: 16-6 Toronto
William Nylander on the ice: 17-12 Toronto
Neither on the ice: 33-18 OpponentGoalies will impact a lot (being bad), but Domi and Joshua big minuses
Not sure how it gets much better, outside of Goalies retuning to last season
if you look at these numbers, the leafs have been trending down since 2023, last season was propped up by Goalies.

Just gradually getting worse, and imo as the Tre moves start to take over the team. goalies not bailing the team out.
Dubas was meh GM, but I think he was at least better at finding skill to help the team, and fill out the roster.*shrugs*
