The #Avs acquire Valtteri Puustinen and and a 2026 seventh-round pick from the #pens for Ilya Solovyov

@reporterchris Sounds like they were pretty honest in their communication, based on that quote…

Ryan Reaves says he holds no grudges against the #leafs, but would have appreciated a little more "honesty and communication" while in limbo last season: "They basically said that I couldn't play in this league anymore. And I'm back."

@collgrimes Endured a lifetime of these antics. Shocked he didn’t get punched. Lovable lunatic.

Halton Hills lacrosse legend Ryan Oldham taking over Barstool HQ 😂

@mirtle You’re an insufferable cherry picker @mirtle. Please god, someone get this clown off the leafs beat.

Leafs are down to 17th in 5-on-5 goals per 60 right now.

@tysi_Bat97 @mirtle He’s not a leaf fan by any stretch. Guy suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

I think we all knew the Jets were going to regress at some point, but this is ridiculous.

@JustAJetsFan @mirtle Yeah, uhhhhh @mirtle doesn’t watch hockey, just checks analytics forms.

@Redcyclops @mirtle You think @mirtle likes the leafs!?

@mirtle Lol, ohhh and tell me the score in the Leafs game tonight?

@MichaelDee_ They're on pace for their worst season in quite a while

The Leafs are the 18th best offensive team in the NHL so far this season. Stolarz is the main reason their record is what it is.

@TicTacTOmar Big difference here is that there's 5 forwards on the PP. 16, 34, 88 across the top of the umbrella, there is 3 threats which I think forces the high PK'ers to respect all 3 threats. With OEL or Rielly up top, they can lock off the cross seam with less threat from the line.

can I say something? it's great the power play finally scored, but I think it's goals like this that explain why it isn't inconsistent these cross-seam passes are the plays they keep trying to look for and teams aren't going to give this room up all the time

@BizNasty2point0 @spittinchiclets Can you please address the now fact that SN mutes the TOR crowd!? Noisy group tonight on Amazon!!!

Fun one tomorrow on the @spittinchiclets podcast.

@blow_kyle Totally, they don’t know anyone in the league, don’t talk to any players to get a feel behind the scenes, don’t ever hear from inner circles, don’t have a history and feel for the league and negotiation, bunch of outsiders they are!

Anyone who takes Bissonette as a relevant source needs their heads examined lol

@KyleCurtis_3 @TheOJLL I was curious what his totals would have been without the debacle. Any idea? His pace was crazy.

Tweet of the year as far as I’m concerned. @19jlee @pwallence @jamesmalloy15

@stewonstroke He won the Calder cup with the Marlies. Several of those players have either began to make an impact with the Leafs, or have been moved elsewhere due to "fit" and excelled.

Keefe lacked the ability to develop younger talent. Lily is floundering, Robertson has 30 goal potential and seemed to be a pariah in SK's eyes. McMann only emerged due to injuries. Who has he developed? I hope the new coach has this skill. #LeafsForever

@thegoldenmuzzy Way too early to be drunk on a Thursday.

Personally, I think Claude Julien's an underrated candidate for the Leafs job.

@coreylandsberg Please, tell me if you are judging Dubas in hindsight? If so, why? Shall we judge Ballard's moves to assess the 2024 Toronto Maple Leafs as well? The Oilers powerplay is so good because Gretzky scored 212pts 30 years ago?

@MichaelDee_ Please, tell me one person in the history of sports management who has not been judged on moves he has made in hindsight

Its funny that Zach Hyman and Dakota Joshua (A guy who Dubas refused to give a NMC to & a guy he traded for nothing) have combined for the same amount of goals this post season as the entire Maple Leafs team did (12). #LeafsForever

@coreylandsberg What/who are you judging? Dubas? He's long gone. Hindsight/judgment is important provided there's context- with cap constraints and available information, teams make bets. Every team wins and loses. You're cherry picking movement bets the Leafs lost that show what?

@MichaelDee_ Tell me one position in life where hindsight isn’t used to judge someone?
