Another goal post shift. He said he prefers a retool to a rebuild.
He prefers to get retards (you) high on hopeium rather than build a team properly.
He also prefers to dye his hair blonde and wear blue framed glasses. He’s a retard (like you).
Marner quitting on his team.
When exactly did he “quit” on the team? When they wanted to trade him to Carolina and he said no because he didn’t want to leave the team or Toronto and proceeded to lead the team to 1st in the division?
Oh damn, you’re too retarded to know what “quit” means.
The Leafs management pushed him out the door. The Leafs media, which owns the team, created a story to make him the scapegoat. And the most retarded of Leafs fans (people like you) believed it enough to pressure him into going somewhere else with less retards and a less shitty place to live and play hockey in.
Its not JTs fault the results of the team. Bad coaching, bad trades, lack of heart and too many injuries. Even with soft marner the results would be pretty much the same.
I didnt blame marner for vegas’ results. Youre reading into that.
Wrong. Tavares destroyed this team with his first contract. His latest contract saves cap space but his play on the ice hurts the team just like his dog shit display in the playoffs year after year hurt the team. -25 is a fact. He has always sucked defensively and his inability to play at both ends of the ice is a big reason why this team lost games and missed the playoffs. He could play for free and he would still lose games for this team.
Lack of heart comes from leadership which includes Tavares. You want to talk soft? Tavares is soft. Nylander is soft. Matthews is soft. Injuries is a bullshit excuse, Vegas has way more injuries than the Leafs. The Leafs had plenty of injuries last year and they were still 1st in the division. Matthews was playing at 50% and Marner carried the team.
No matter how much you want to lie to yourself, reality is reality; Marner being run out of town destroyed this team.
Ffs Matthews and Marner are just a fucking tag team like The British Bulldogs, trade Auston to Vegas for a bunch of picks and prospects and call it a day
Way too late for that, they already signed Eichel.
The list for Matthews trade partners is interesting. San Jose, LA Kings, Anaheim Ducks among many other options.
They might as well have just admitted that the team will continue its slow and torturous death spiral.
Yes, I agree he did say that, however, he did also say that the new Hockey Ops Leader be that a President or GM will actually decide that. If they hire a new guy and he determines this team can’t be salvaged, he will leave it up to that new hire to deal with it accordingly.
Pelley is an idiot when it comes to hockey. He doesn’t understand that the UFA market won’t save this team. He also probably doesn’t understand that the Leafs development system won’t help this current group fast enough either. An intelligent President of Hockey Ops would understand this quickly. Add to that fact there are only two years left on Matthews’ contract and all that needs to be said from him is “I’m not sticking around for this anymore”. The entire franchise has to pivot to rebuild mode immediately.
Trade Matthews + Nylander at the 2027 draft. Tank 2027/28. Tank 28/29. McDavid is a UFA in 2029. Rod Brind’Amour is a free agent in 2029.
I have to think Berube is gone. I would love to see them grab Cassidy, but they’ll almost certainly let a new GM make that decision… and by the time they hire a new GM, I expect Cassidy will be signed elsewhere.
The new GM / Hockey President could be hired in just a few weeks. There are a lot of guys lining up to take the job according to EF and some of them are good names, others aren’t so much. Pelley wants a new guy running the team before the combine and the draft. Could see a new hire by the middle of the playoffs. I’d consider Pronger as perhaps President (not sure if he has the contract knowledge to be GM), he knows what it takes to win, seems intelligent and has already said in public he would tear this team down to the studs and start over.
Cassidy, DeBoer (career runner up coach) and Laviolette are all available. Cassidy did well in Boston and Vegas but both organizations were very strong “top down”. If the Leafs hire him without the same sturdy structure, he won’t work out like people think he will. DeBoer will take this team back to pretender status. Probably lose in the Conference or Cup Final multiple times. Laviolette is similar to Cassidy, he’ll need reinforcement around him or his discipline won’t work with this core.
I don’t think it matters at this point which coach they hire, the core is broken, the support cast doesn’t exist, this group can’t be fixed, saved or retooled. It’s the Kessel era all over again. Individually, great pieces but collectively, not going to win with this group.
Pelley said the Leafs have “generational players” as in, multiple. The Leafs don’t have a single generational player, much less multiple.
Matthews, as good as he use to be at scoring goals, is not McDavid. He is not Crosby. He is not a true generational talent. Everybody else on this team is significantly worse than he is and the supporting cast required in such a short period of time simply does not exist within the system, through the draft or through the free agent market.
That inability to identify what the Leafs do and do not have is exactly why this retard Pelley will fail to do what needs to be done to turn this franchise around. Unless he hires somebody who knows what they are doing, by complete accident, this team will not and can not be fixed until Pelley is gone as well.
Just listened to Pelleys presser. Leafs beginning a comprehensive search for a new GM, looking to “retool” around “foundational pieces” rather than rebuild, using a “data-centred analytics approach”
You know what other comprehensive search is about to take place? Me looking for a new fucking hockey team to cheer for.
Pelley is a delusional idiot with zero hockey knowledge. The one positive is that he will let the new leader of hockey ops decide if this team needs to be blown up. Hopefully, they hire a President / GM with a brain and he tells them this team needs to be torn down to the ground.
Another coach for marner.
For the first time in vegas’s history they may miss the playoffs.
Weird.EF said the leafs may be interested in Mike Gillis and/or Doug armstrong.
Avoid Gillis like the plague.
Not really interested in Armstrong….leafs stealing GM’s from other teams hasnt really worked out for them. Plus Im not sure Armstrong would want a full rebuild if they needed one in a year or so.Maybe Pridham as GM? Armstrong as President if they are so intent on looking at Armstrong
But Berube has to go.Another retard blaming Marner because he’s a retard.
So I see our resident pedo is still whining about JT and taking shots at women.
LOL What a loser
64pts for $4.3m per still a great deal.
Projecting your own pedo thoughts onto others? Disgusting. Seek help.
Great deal and almost a lottery team. Always a great deal when you go from 1st to last. Those savings had such a wonderful impact.
Fucking retard.
Keith Pelley is retarded. He thinks this team has a good foundation, plans to retool and thinks these guys can contend soon.
This franchise is fucked when these guys all walk as UFAs, leaving this franchise with nothing.
John Tavares has 20G to go with 71pts. Not too shabby for an old washed up garbage player playing on a ‘pretender’ garbage team.
Edit: Never mind. Those are the numbers for a different FAR MORE expensive player on a solid team way better than the Leafs. A real contender!
JT: 27G 63pts – only 8pts less but 7 more goals. Oh man that must sting a certain posters labia.
Must hurt your labia that Tavares is -25 and led this team to a lottery position for most of the season.
But those “cap savings” worked wonders at making the team go from 1st in the division to almost dead last.
Treliving officially fired.
Why the fuck they let him run the deadline day is more retarded than ever.
The Leafs will somehow fire Berube and hire Cassidy this off season lol
I’d put money on DeBoer, career runner up coach, fits the franchise perfect.
So maybe Vegas should have spent the Marner money on a goalie?
Maybe they should spend some money on figuring out why you’re so retarded.
Vegas already had Hill signed for 6.25 AAV. Hill has only been able to play 25 games as he has been injured and played poorly.
VGK only allows 24 shots per game, 3rd best in the NHL. The GM should blame himself for not making a move at the deadline to solidify the net. Same mistake Edmonton keeps making too.
These teams don’t need .950 SV% prime Hasek either. Just average goaltending and both teams are contenders over night.
