@JeffVeillette Changed nothing, I still expect a shit show till the day Pelley is fired or quits and we get an insider article telling us about all the weird shit he’s done.

Follow Up to Yesterday's Question:
How did you feel about the Chayka/Sundin/Pelley presser just now? Did it shift your opinion on the hirings in either direction?
Toronto Maple Leafs@MapleLeafs
MLSE announced two leadership appointments for the Toronto Maple Leafs, naming John Chayka General Manager and Leafs legend Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor, Hockey Operations. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
English
@D_atthedome It’s just more ABs. Until he’s shown consistent power we shouldn’t take the powerhouse weekend as a sign he’s gonna keep hitting HRs at that pace. If we are basing off just the beginning of the season then really he should be third and Vladdy second.
English
@GordoCasts Always sort of been my arguement against removing franchising. There’s nothing to stop a group who makes it from getting poached, especially if the guest slot team is a low spending org. No winning either way because it’s equally not fair to jail a player on the guest team too.
English
DSG's entire Summer 2025 roster has now been poached by franchised LCS teams, the latest happening mid-season.
This is better than the old system for the players who otherwise might have been trapped in NACL, but the LCS guest slot system is broken.
DSG@Disguised
we have an important announcement.

@LeafsPapi_ They took a guy who spent the last 5 years running a bunch of Wendy’s and Mats who hasn’t been around the NHL for years to run the team. Both are 5+ years removed from the NHL, don’t get me wrong, I hope I’m wrong but logically the hires don’t make sense.
English
Why did the media spend the entire time talking about the hiring process and not the plan going forward??
- What Chayka thinks this team needs
- How he’s going to fill those needs
- Plan if you lose your draft pick
- Are you going to ask Rielly to waive his NMC?
- Thoughts on Robertson, Cowan, goalies

@BigMike_V42 @PeteBlackburn Best I got is if James Gladstone (similar age and philosophy) crash and burned in Jacksonville while also losing them a draft pick. Then he sat around for 5 years on the couch just to somehow get hired by the Cowboys as GM.
English
@PeteBlackburn Someone explain this hire to me in football terms please
English
Holy fucking shit lmao
World Hockey Report@worldhockeyrpt
Steve Simmons goes at Keith Pelley for hiring John Chayka. This was something.
English
@AdamWylde More or less how I expect the rest of Pelley’s tenure with MLSE to go, bit of a shit show.
English
Well - I'm curious
What did you think of the Leafs press conference?
English
@JeffVeillette ATM I think it’s a mistake. Both are fairly removed from the NHL scene right now so your taking limited experience and lack of up to date knowledge to lead the most heavily scrutinized team in the league whose not in the best spot right now.
English
Now that it’s official: What’s everyone’s first impression reaction here? Don’t worry about being right or wrong later, just what you’re feeling in the moment.
Toronto Maple Leafs@MapleLeafs
We have named John Chayka the General Manager and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor, Hockey Operations Details » shorturl.at/WYQiF

@JGoldberg12 It’s more the expectations of someone both in the bottom of the order as well as the situation. Right before he went to bat Gimenez got hit and as a whole the twins pitcher wasn’t in control. Heineman should be thinking to take pitches to increase count or walk, not fp swinging.
English
Assume he swung through a take sign?
But the bigger issue is why he was even in a position to be in the box in that spot?
Shi Davidi@ShiDavidi
John Schneider said Tyler Heineman’s removal from the game was a “manager’s decision.” He declined to elaborate.
English
@JWeinbachNBA Damn, they all playing in the G League next year? Raptors 905 gonna crush it.
English
The Raptors’ young core:
Scottie Barnes (24)
Collin Murray-Boyles (20)
Ja’Kobe Walter (21)
Jamal Shead (23)
Toronto will have the No. 19 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft as well. There’s an exciting future brewing in the 905.
English
@reptillor @Hunterzxzxz @AnimeePost Ok, and Mirio was somewhere around 17-18. More or less everything All-for-One related occurred in a year. And this is assuming no other plot details change.
English
@Gingster75 @Hunterzxzxz @AnimeePost 40 was the age the 4th user made It to. Then there was 5th 6th who wouldn't of made it that long. I think at most togata would only be able to get 25 if that but maybe 30 if he was really lucky.
English
@Hunterzxzxz @AnimeePost How, the fight occurred while they were essentially in high school. Assuming he made it to old age as a double quirk user that’s around 40, the fight would have been long over.
English
@Gingster75 @AnimeePost he wouldn't be able to defeat All For One and would probably die young due to his body being unable to hold One For All for so long
English
@thrillhouse416 @JustinMacmahan Athletes are different, they get charged a jock tax on their salary based on the length of their season and where they played. So for example let’s say there’s 200 working days for them and 100 are in LA, then she’s taxed on 50% of $999k at 13.3% for LA, doesn’t change at $1M.
English
@JustinMacmahan At my work, the more you make, the higher a % gets taken out for health insurance. Maybe they have some sort of system like that and she does save 13k by being paid $1 less and just called it taxes?
English
Our population’s understanding of marginal tax brackets is so pathetic…
Austin Franklin@austinfrankln
Stop offering Kelsey Plum $1 😂
English
@teriyakitakes @EmbiidAmputee You’re complaining about less than 13 cents. Her financial advisor can’t do math.
English
@EmbiidAmputee Taxes help who? If I were fans I would not go to the games
English
Who the hell is Kelsey Plum’s financial advisor LMFAOOOOOO
Austin Franklin@austinfrankln
Stop offering Kelsey Plum $1 😂
English
@EmbiidAmputee Jock taxes in LA don’t care if you make over $1M or less, it’s just 13.3% regardless, not including the fact she’s only taxed proportionally based on contract days in the state. She needs to report this “advisor” for fraud.
English
@ChrisCoop_ Mostly fair weather fans. For fans who don’t care about statistics as a whole or defense, the only metric they look at is home runs, no home runs to them means your average at best. He could probably lead the league in RBIs but if his HR total was still 2 they would call him shit
English
Can reasonable Blue Jays fans tell me why the fanbase complains about Vladdy so much? This dude just went on the best playoff run of our lifetimes, has a .950 OPS this year, and has had better defense the last few years and I'm seeing posts comparing him to Luis Arraez😂
English
@Sportsnet Never understood players who complain about this, very simply you just say out loud “my goal is to play my whole career here”. If you can’t say it that means you’re only committed as long as ur current deal, and therefore you will be deservingly questioned.
English
@FriedgeHNIC With MLB having ABS challenges tht take like 15s to do a quick check, it seems almost illogical the NHL couldn’t add a a digital line tht says if the puck hits this, that logically it has crossed the goal line
English
Probably (likely) the right call. Logically, it's in. But inconclusive angles meant original call stuck
Sportsnet@Sportsnet
"The issue I have with this is I don't understand how you can say that puck is completely crossing the goal line. There's no official behind the net there." The Hockey Central Panel discusses the Game 4 OT winner in Anaheim
English
@J_Blagden @danprimack I wouldn’t call tht apples to apples of an example. I can’t speak to his impact for Oklahoma but Carter’s jersey retirement wasn’t just because he was a franchise icon but also his impact on the growth of Canadian basketball as a whole.
English
@danprimack OKC is one million percent retiring his jersey lol. Time heals all wounds. If the Raptors retired Vince Carter's jersey, anyone is fair game. And KD is without question the best player that has every played for that franchise (for now anyway, SGA will probably pass that soon).
