Toronto Resporter

@SamAMcKee here’s the question we really need to answer. Can JT play a solid 2C next season if his usage is more in line with his age and they have competent/healthy centremen to offload.

@MLBONFOX @Yankees Wow. Thats absolutely amazing how he missed it on the first try.

INCREDIBLE CATCH BY CODY BELLINGER! 🤯 (Via @Yankees)

@TrevorFr14 @Sportsnet Right now? Yup. You obviously have a hard time reading so I’ll dumb it down as if I’m talking to my toddler. If the big maple leafy guys keep being bad, they can maybe be good when picking a new friend. That better?

@TDOTResporter @Sportsnet Not gonna happen. They’ll give Boston the 6th pick.

Following a loss to the Sharks, the Maple Leafs have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season.

@Topboycrypto @Sportsnet That’s not true. You can’t fall more than two positions. If they finish 3rd they are guaranteed a top five pick.

@TDOTResporter @Sportsnet Nothing is guaranteed they can finish 3rd last and still end up with the 6th pick. They can also finish 7th last and get the 5th pick.

@Brasss88 @TSN_Sports And then it gets pushed back to next season with top ten protection. Question is will they sign/trade well enough this off season to get back into the playoffs? If not, then that’s fine. If they do, then getting a top four pick this year is way more beneficial to a re-tool.

@TDOTResporter @TSN_Sports Yeah and if they fall to 6, it goes to the b's. Lol... #Carlo

The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2016.

@TheRog590 @FAN590 Yes, hence the odds of them getting a top five pick. At fifth the odds are worse than they are good, whereas at fourth they have over a 90% chance when based on historical draft aggregation.

@TDOTResporter @FAN590 There's still a lottery after the season though.

#Leafs are now mathematically eliminated from the post-season, even though they are 11 points out with 6 to play. Detroit plays Columbus and islanders play Ottawa is the reason why. Post-season streak OFFICIALLY over, we'll discuss on @FAN590 8-11 am!

@MapleLeafs @LGCanada honestly this is still doable. If the Leafs lose out the remainder of the season the odds that the teams between them and blue line pass them is over 90%. Fourth worst is a guaranteed top five pick in a draft with a great top four.

@JDBunkis @SamAMcKee @jtbourne honestly this is still doable. If the Leafs lose out the remainder of the season the odds that the teams between them and blue line pass them is over 90%. Fourth worst is a guaranteed top five pick in a draft with a great top four.

@TSNHockey @PierreVLeBrun @DarrenDreger Sooooo they want a fantasy manager…..got it.

INSIDER TRADING… - Leafs hope to have search firm hired by end of next week - Toronto hopes to copy Hurricanes with data-driven hire - Next phase of Preds’ GM search - Allvin remains big part of Canucks’ future WATCH: tsn.ca/nhl/video/2026…

@FAN590 @jtbourne @RealKyper @SamAMcKee I fully expect them to offer Tuch somewhere around $12m and Coyle somewhere around $6m, no idea of term but it scares me with both. Imagine they sign. Raddysh to play with Rielly and under new coaching Rielly has a 180 turn around.

@FAN590 @jtbourne @RealKyper @SamAMcKee Myers waived. Maccelli waived. Domi bought out. Forward lines: Knies/Matthews/(TBA), Tavares/(TBA)/Cowan, Joshua/(TBA/Robertson, Groulx/Pezzeta/Lorentz/Quillan. Maybe sign Coyle for 2nd/3rd line centre. Need more RH balance if possible.

"They’re doing a retool, whether you think they should or not.” @jtbourne, with @RealKyper and @SamAMcKee, shares a potential path for the Leafs to be competitive in 2026-27. LIVE ⤵️ 📺 watch.sportsnet.ca 💻 youtube.com/live/fjHu_nFpz… 📻 sportsnet.ca/590

@MarquesTheRoman @FAN590 @Jackie_Redmond @JDBunkis You try staring at Jackie Redmond that long without being off your game.

@FAN590 @Jackie_Redmond @JDBunkis Bro stop exhaling it's just sports why you have to be mad?

"Whether or not you believe they should retool or rebuild the roster is up for debate. What’s not is that the Toronto Maple Leafs need a cultural rebuild." @Jackie_Redmond joins @JDBunkis to underline the origins of the Maple Leafs' issues.

@markhmasters @TSN_Sports How the hell is Myers still playing in the NHL. He couldn’t make my whaleshit league hockey team.

Anthony Stolarz starts for Leafs tonight in San Jose, coach Craig Berube confirms Steven Lorentz & Phil Myers are in Michael Pezzetta & Troy Stecher are out @TSN_Sports

@jtbourne Affect.

It’s perfect. I love that’s everyone’s like “Bet Berube’s not sleeping too good these days!” and he was like “a literal earthquake couldn’t effect my sleep I’m fine.”

@FAN590 @jtbourne @RealKyper @SamAMcKee If you go small build then you have to move from an area of strength to shore up one of weakness. You can’t trade like for like. Nylander + for a #1 Dman for example. Then Carlo + + for a top line RW. Tanev/McCabe as 2nd pairing. OEL/Danford as 3rd pairing.

@Sportsnet @ArdenZwelling Won’t matter if they don’t start scoring runs consistently. Batting order (as usual with Schneider) is way out of whack based on strengths of batters and creating a difficult path for the opposing pitcher to navigate while having continuity. They don’t seem to get this strategy.

Late into October, Mason Fluharty broke out as a leverage relief option for the Blue Jays. Now, that experience — plus a new pitch formed in the off-season — have helped the lefty stay right there. (@ArdenZwelling) sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/ma…

@FAN590 @frank_seravalli @ailishforfar @jccuthbert Armstrong as Director. Pridham gets promoted to GM Pronger/Wickenheiser come in as AGMs They fire Bérubé in OS and do a comprehensive coaching search before draft so the coach has input in the type of players they want drafted.

“The whispers are that if an opportunity came up that appealed to Doug Armstrong, St. Louis Blues ownership wouldn’t stand in the way… I’d be hard-pressed to find a better fit.” @frank_seravalli joins @ailishforfar and @jccuthbert to discuss Armstrong as a Leafs GM candidate.
