A full tear down will take at absolute best 5 years to get back to contending, but likely longer.
Knies will be 24 when the season starts, so that put him at 30 when the team might start to turn a corner.3 years lol fuck off with that nonsense.
if they commit to full tear down without their own 2 first lmfao. its a decade before they start to contend again
A literate person would understand Game 7 in the World Series but you missed that part.
Varland has proven he can close some regular season games for a stretch. Hasn’t proven what was set as the goal.
Nice try though, keep practicing your hooked on phonics, maybe you’ll understand one day.
no you changed your argument to the team not making it back to the WS. which is what I responded to. thats your lame game.
Even Mariano Rivera blew a game 7 , 2-1 lead to lose the world series.tanking an doing a total rebuild would be a 5-10 year process, not 2 or 3 thats fucking stupid. esp if you trade Matthews and Nylander. and not having their own picks for 2 draft makes it even more idiotic.
Montreal as the example is also stupid. You can also use Buffalo who tanked and missed the playoffs for 15 years, they had picks 8, 2, 2, 8, 8, 1, 7, 8, 1, 9, in 10 consecutive drafts. also pacioretty for suzuki happened 8 fucking years ago
Take Chicago also, they won in 2015, stumbled around for 5 years, have not made the playoff 6 years in a row and are still not even close to being a fringe playoff team let alone a contender
completely tearing things down and rebuilding takes many years to build back to a competitive playoff team, and they still may not get back to a contender, it also takes a lot of luck and timing.
Now is not the time for the Leafs to tear it down.
You’d have to be pretty retarded to believe the Oilers would hire a coach McDavid doesn’t approve of at this stage of his career.
Im not talking about if he approves or not, Babcock is a shit stain of a person. But he also hasnt won anything in the NHL as coach in almost 20 years.
Thinking thats the guy to get them over the hump..is somethingEdmonton 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.
Too bad the rest of the team won’t be able to make it back to where it would matter.
the correct answer a normal person would post is.. Wow I was wrong. Varland has been amazing
but you shift goal posts instead…cuz not a normal personLeafs will have to see how this coming season plays out before making any decisions on Matthews.
But I think they re-sign him. Which I prefer.
But if he has a nice bounce back season but wont sign a new deal, you trade him before his deal ends and get a good returnDo the Jays have an elite closer that they can rely on to win Game 7 of the World Series with a 1 run lead in the 9th inning vs the 9th batter yet?
No?
Fantastic.
Id give Varland a shot, he seems ok
some predictions for the coming year +
Leafs Draft Mckenna
Nylander is not traded
Matthews re-signs
Leafs Make the playoffs 2027Chayka is a wild card for me, hasnt been in the league for years and was a bit of a erratic in his moves, so wouldnt shock me if the opposite happened for all
cannot wait to see the epic gangbang back at carter hart’s hotel room after the golden knights win the cup. you think marner will get in line for some action?
no matter who wins, the leaf nation will either have to watch marner lift the cup or andersen lift the cup.
i really wish we’d get our shit together and take back the cup from that gang of pedos south of the border. americans have had their kiddy-diddling hands all over our fucking cup for too long.
agreed
Iv seen a lot of Mock drafts go
Leafs – Mckenna
SJ – Reid
Van – MalhotraIf it does, would you offer Knies for #4 to try and grab Stenberg #4?
I really like knies, but I think his value at the moment is a bit higher than his actual value or on ice impact. He can still get better of course.
Tough call.But Stenberg should go 1 or 2 imo
His draft record isn’t that good overall but if the rumor is that he only made the good picks and none of the bad ones it’s rather convenient. I guess Benning picked Hughes too then.
Better than doing nothing is still not as good as hiring the best people possible. It’s another typical Maple Leafs hire.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay got Jack Pridham fresh off a Memorial Cup for a 3rd round pick. That’s “doing something”. Guess the Leafs can’t trade and sign the kid after they fired his dad.
Generally people attribute the draft picks to the GM. he was a Dubas pick etc.
i dont pretend to know shit about people behind the scenes, and nobody on these sites do, some just pretend harder than others.tifwiw, but its out there that Brackett didn’t want to take Juolevi, that was Bennings pick.
Also wanted Boldy over PodkolzinI guess if you are not he GM or have final say, you can only give you input.
Overall lots of changes. better than doing nothing
Sounds like the leafs are hiring Brackett
not sure how I feel about that, rep seems good, but mixed results
updating –
Judd Brackett as Assistant General Manager, Player Evaluation
Freddie Hamilton as Chief of Staff
