Daddy KB

Dallas, my boy. You were THE best pup we could’ve EVER imagined. Thank you for making these last 11.5 years so special for us. I will tell your story until the day I join you on the other side. Have fun on your walks with Dodo & Papa now. I love you buddy. Rest easy. 🙏🏻💔

Mitch Marner’s last six playoff opponents in Toronto averaged 101 regular season points. Faced two eventual Cup winners in four seasons. His two opponents this year each had 92 regular season points. He just torched the -15 goal, 26 regulation win Ducks. This isn’t very hard

A season from hell for Thomas Harley, but his underlyings were much better in the playoffs despite an 85 PDO(!). Stars need him to be at his best.

Elliotte believes in one of the Leafs GM interviews one of the candidates discussed bringing in Malhotra as a coach. Elliotte wonders if that was Mike Gillis who suggested it. "Leafs were intrigued by that idea." (32 pod)

Dan Buettner named 5 Blue Zones in 2008. The places on Earth where people live the longest. Today, only 2 still qualify. Here are 7 habits the survivors share that the others lost:

If Drake had a verse for Marner on Iceman: Knew Vladdy had it right when he signed the contract for 500 mill I've been repping the 6 since 93 before 16 left for 93 Leaf and go out of sight, what's a pawn to a golden knight

Gavin McKenna stayed home from the World Championship so he could attend John Chayka's secret illegal prospect combine. Errr shit, nevermind...I wasn't supposed to talk about that

Fans laughing at #Blackhawks offering the #Leafs 4th overall pick for Matthew Knies suffer from serious "Mystery Box Syndrome." People get hung up on draft pedigree because Knies was a late 2nd-rounder, completely ignoring the player he actually became. Knies is a 6'3", 235lb power-forward unicorn on a trajectory for 30+ goals and 70+ points. He’s young, cost-controlled, and exactly what every contender starves for. Meanwhile, some fans think a 4th overall pick is a potential superstar. Sure, but not always, there's just as many busts there as players that end up as good or better than Knies. You could easily be getting someone like these 4th overall picks: • Griffin Reinhart • Thomas Hickey • Jesse Puljujarvi Yes you could also draft a Mitch Marner, Cale Makar, Brady Tkachuk etc Draft picks are lottery tickets. Knies is a proven, top-line modern power forward. Kyle Davidson trading an unknown asset to put a guaranteed monster next to Bedard isn't crazy.. it’s just smart asset management. Gamble vs the guarantee. I love Knies, i wouldn't be jumping for joy to lose him even for 4th overall. 4th overall means the Leafs can draft a potential #1C in Maholtra or #1D potentially in Verhoeff or Carels, smidts etc.. But there's no guarantee any of those guys reach that type of ceiling . That's what chicago is avoiding in making a deal like that. It also cccelerates their window in hoping to keep Bedard long term by starting to win now vs waiting 2-3 years for the 4th overall pick to be ready to be a difference maker in the NHL. Interesting proposal either way.

Cassidy to Edmonton. Carle to Toronto. Book it.

David Carle won three NCAA titles in five years with Denver and is considered by many to be the best coach outside of the NHL. Here's the case for Carle as the Maple Leafs' next head coach. theleafsnation.com/news/the-case-…

Corey Pronman has a history of going against the grain. He had Drouin ahead of MacKinnon in 2013, Laine ahead of Matthews in 2016 and Cale Makar at 15th overall in 2017. It's not shocking that he'd be the one person to have Alberts Smits at 2 and Gavin McKenna at 4.

The last time Crosby wore an "A" was February 26, 2010 against Slovakia at the Vancouver Olympics. Now, 5,922 days later, Sidney Crosby hits the ice as an assistant captain to Macklin Celebrini 🇨🇦

Canada is up 2-0 on goals from Tavares and O'Reilly. Marner is dominating for Vegas. The 2022-2023 Leafs are thriving right now.

The only mistake the Toronto Maple Leafs made with Mitch Marner was trading him for Nic Roy instead of pursuing tampering charges against Vegas.

Friedman on 32 Thoughts says he suspects LAK will ask to speak to Jay Woodcroft as nobody knows Woodcroft better than Ken Holland. He also thinks Woodcroft will be interviewed by the Leafs.

Friedman also says he doesn't think Cassidy would be the Leafs first choice
