@PuckMyLeafs @younger1340 @andystrickland Vegas would only continue to pay him, if he got a new contract that paid less than current salary. If more, it's voided.

@younger1340 @andystrickland He’s getting paid from Vegas so why would Vegas wanna pay his salary when he’s coaching a rival really not a hard concept to understand

Hearing Vegas has also denied LA permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy. Don’t believe Toronto has asked to talk to him as of last night.

@BigBob604 @puckempire @FriedgeHNIC No goalies? It's arguably one of our org's biggest strength (yes, our 2 NHL guys have availability concerns, but young guys in AHL are studs)

The Toronto Maple Leafs will likely reach out to Bruce Cassidy for their head coach vacancy, per @FriedgeHNIC.

@DarrenDreger @markhmasters Check your sources, pal. Paul Marner doesn't know too much about leafs anymore.

Berube got the call this morning after spending several hours with Chayka and Sundin on Saturday discussing all aspects of the roster. Leafs management wanting to start with a clean slate.

@reporterchris @LeafsUpdates21 You insiders are clowns eh, CJ. Midget

Statement from GM John Chayka on the firing of Craig Berube:

@MapleLeafs @LeafsUpdates21 LFG

General Manager John Chayka announced today that the club has parted ways with head coach Craig Berube

@MapleLeafs @LeafsPR LETS GO

@SaltySJWt3ars @JLazzy23 Yeah cuz Vegas market has 200,000 fans, and not national pressure. Sure, the owner there is cut throat, but Marner wanted to hide and ran. Good on him. His choice.

@LEAFSZappy @JLazzy23 It’s very simple, the Toronto fans, media and team management are cunts. Marner leaves because of that and the leafs miss the playoffs and he is having the best postseason of his career. There isn’t any other way to spin that.

As an outsider to Toronto, I think multiple things can be true here. Mitch Marner has been incredible this postseason and what he’s doing right now is exactly the kind of impact a lot of people always believed he was capable of with the Leafs. The criticism was never really about his talent, everyone knew how elite he was. It was more about whether he could consistently deliver in the biggest moments. He’s showing exactly why he’s considered one of the game’s best playmakers and most complete forwards. Cool to hear this passion from Torts

@SaltySJWt3ars @JLazzy23 Marner was an active participant in himself leaving. His camp threatened to sign an offer sheet and leave if Marner didnt get his 11M first contract. Then proceeded to put up 0.3ppg in games 5 6 7 over his tenure. Is the blue line responsible for that?

@LEAFSZappy @JLazzy23 This cope is pathetic and sad…

@VGK_Fan4Life @JLazzy23 Sure go ahead, talk about it. I'm listening. 1967. Blah blah. Congrats to ur team winning so early into inception. Moral of story is, the league revolves around Toronto. Lol. We don't ask it to be that way, it just is fact.

@LEAFSZappy @JLazzy23 Yeah…we don’t give a shit, The last time y’all won a damn thing it was a 4 team playoff. Let’s talk about that.

@VGKRayPist @businesstime89 @JLazzy23 It's not a problem. It's actually a symptom of a market that cares. go huff some Oil.

@LEAFSZappy @businesstime89 @JLazzy23 See that’s your problem. A Tuesday is January doesn’t mean shit

@businesstime89 @JLazzy23 do u know how to skate? And also, ur opinion is 100% valid. I have the leafs syndrome, but the average Tuesday game in January means more here than Vegas. Yes, you won a cup very recently — Marner did not get it done in hockeys biggest market. That's fine, but it's also true.

@LEAFSZappy @JLazzy23 I’ll reserve my judgment on the Leafs as an organization until they do literally anything noteworthy in my lifetime.

@zoobknight @JLazzy23 do u know how to skate? glad Vegas is in the league and has a team, but christ man.. Marner is a great player, but not in Toronto. Paid as the best there, didn't get it done in big moments.

@JLazzy23 @LEAFSZappy Ah you agree with moving goalposts.

@CodIsLife14 @VinceSapienza go enjoy Somalian Minnesota. Know more hockey in my left thumb than the average Joe. Marner is great player, wasn't pure reason for playoffs failures in Toronto, but his games 5-7 were atrocious, when getting paid as the guy to elevate.

@LEAFSZappy @VinceSapienza You’d think ppl from Toronto would know more about hockey lol. All casuals

John Tortorella with a message to all the Mitch Marner playoff doubters, "That narrative is a bunch of bullsh*t." #ForgedInGold

@jordan517436301 @VinceSapienza yeah ok Jordan. Let's completely overlook his games 5-7 performance over 9yrs. He wasn't reason for Leafs failures in going deep, but when you're paid as the guy, show up against a team like Boston, TB, or FLA. Not talking Utah or Anaheim.

@LEAFSZappy @VinceSapienza he was a point per game in the playoffs for the leafs. leafs fans didn’t deserve him and never deserve a cup

@RussoHockey We had Marner for 9yrs. Didn't work out. Nice try, Michael.

Auston would probably stay in Toronto if they could get a guy like Marner

@13Leafs01 @NHLRumourReport Year round great weather, not far from Arizona, good buddies in Keller and Scmaltzy there; young up coming team... it's not completely out to lunch to ponder Utah.

@NHLRumourReport Matthews would never choose to go there. Its not an open to all NHL teams situation.

Jeff Marek: If John Chayka and Mats Sundin decide, okay look we've got Gavin McKenna, if we look to take Auston Matthews to market...personally I would look at Utah; players like Tij Iginla and Caleb Desnoyers and Simashev - DMase Vingan & Daunic (5/6)

@Ronde44 @NHL_Watcher Plus his good buddies schmaltzy and Keller in Utah

@NHL_Watcher Utah is good, close to Arizona. No reason to believe he only wants to go to Cali.

If Matthews does decided he wants out, the Kings are the obvious choice, he'd be a Kopitar replacement. Leafs need to get Brandt Clarke back in any package in return for him.
