@spittinchiclets How exactly is he shutting them up? By performing in a different division against weaker opponents. We all knew he was good, just not under pressure. There's no pressure playing the Ducks.

Mitch Marner is shutting up all the haters.

@the_habitant Pretty wild to bring up the Leafs when your team is going to conference finals? When the Leafs are in the playoffs their fans don't mention the Habs. Mind you- the experience doesn't usually last long. Canada will be getting behind the Habs here. Get the Leafs off your mind.

Over the last 5 years #GoHabsGo went to the Stanley cup finals, finished last in the standings, bottomed out as one of the 5 worst teams in the league for 3 consecutive years, and are now back to the conference finals. Meanwhile, the Leafs haven’t won 2 rounds since 2002 😭💀

@CarloColaiacovo I doubt either team in the SCF, Respectfully.

Good time to revisit this ⤵️

@BaconCountryYT Soo right!! Imagine the Leafs made the playoffs and he had a chance to show what he could do before this!!!

The Leafs should trade the 1st Overall Pick for Mitch Marner

@SensCentral @brandonpiller1 Wasn't a real trade. He'd already agreed to terms with Vegas after declining the Leafs 8 year offer. The trade was a formality.

Mitch Marner, man, what a player. We’ve always said it…you don’t trade guys like him @brandonpiller1

@MarissaRoberto What exactly we're you right about?? That he was a good player or that he couldn't handle the pressure in a big market team especially in the east. We all knew that. Regardless of that the Leafs offered him an 8 year extension to which he declined. Incredible foresight you have.

The satisfaction of knowing I was right about Mitch all along while watching him thrive for another market is bittersweet.

@worldhockeyrpt You can tell they didn't want him when they offered him the 8 year extension.... right.

remember when the leafs DIDN’T want this guy lol

@worldhockeyrpt They offered him a big contract and he took the same amount to play for Vegas. Couldn't handle the pressure in the eastern conference.

Anyone know why the Leafs traded Mitch Marner?

@JayOnSC @odognine2 How many cycles of coaches has it been for McDavid and the Oilers?? Doesn't matter...

Was moving on from Craig Berube the right decision for the Leafs?

Did the Maple Leafs make the right call firing Craig Berube? Jeff O'Neill (@odognine2) joins @JayOnrait to discuss.

@peteraltbaum @nhltraderumours Not defensively.. Offensively then yes absolutely. Reilly is a liability on defence.

@WinnyBuilt @nhltraderumours Rielly is better than Nurse. There. I said it.

RUMOR: Darren Dreger reports the Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to ask Morgan Rielly to waive his NMC. With a rumored 1-for-1 swap with the Oilers for Darnell Nurse brewing, a blockbuster could be coming. nhltraderumor.com/toronto-maple-…

@NHL_Watcher @matthews34goat The fact you NEEDED to post this kinda proves it really is the mecca of hockey. I've heard more about the Leafs than the actually NHL playoff lately.

@matthews34goat Mecca of hockey lmao.

Why on earth would Cassidy want to go to Toronto over Edmonton and Los Angeles?

@G403Cowan @Berger_BYTES Not according to all major NHL scouts. McKenna is #1 on every mock draft even before the Leafs got the pick. McKenna's ceiling is alot higher. The Sweede is more NHL ready currently. That's not what you draft for at 1OA.

@WinnyBuilt @Berger_BYTES The best over all player is the sweede.

If I’m John Chayka: Select McKenna or the best defenceman in the draft. Get Matthews AND Nylander to ultimately waive. Acquire a top defense and forward prospect from rival clubs and a couple mid-round picks. Get whatever you can for Rielly or buy him out. The culture malaise totally changes. Within three years, you have a young, perennial #StanleyCup threat. Providing, of course, roster balance is attained… and goaltending finally sorts itself out. #Leafs #LeafsForever

@logopatt The real question is who sells more jerseys. I think we all know the answer and its obvious whose names getting called 1OA.

Listening to Bukala talk about Stenberg, how has watched him play a ton for years… … then he said Sundin has probably watched him a lot too since “he plays for Djurgardens right in Stockholm 10 minutes from Mats’ house” Stenberg has plays for Frolunda in Gothenburg

@311West_ @HockeyPatrol Feeding the puck to the best goal scorer in the league wont help.

@HockeyPatrol I would pump the brakes. The kid is 165lbs and struggled in the first couple months of college hockey. It's a hell of a jump to the NHL from NCAA. Expectations should be lowered.

Gavin McKenna and Auston Matthews in 2026-27: 80 goals and 160 points combined.

@KrilleOfficial @Ss150317646859S 0% chance Leafs pick Ivan. You pick the best player in the draft. Come back to this. Its a cute conversation until the draft though I get it. Whoever got first was taking McKenna- Didn't matter who got it.

@WinnyBuilt @Ss150317646859S Sundin will want to change the Soft leafs era, so i doubt he picks another soft player like McKenna... Ivar is just an allrounder... yes McKenna has higher upside on the offensive production. But that's EVER so slightly that Ivar just all around makes up for it a metric fkton.

Ivar Stenberg is so good, that when McKenna gets selected first, Stenberg drops all the way to 4 in almost every mock draft. I wonder why that is 🤣

@Ss150317646859S Not best ever but best in the draft. Clearly you can't read.

@WinnyBuilt "lalalalalalaa he's the best ever!!!!!"

@Ss150317646859S Great point

@WinnyBuilt Now I understand why you haven't heard any criticism lol.

@OmegaFan2023 @Xposed McKenna is coming to a much better team than those two did and will likely be on the wing of Matthews. If he's getting first line minutes with a perennial goal scorer then his stats will likely be inflated. More plays into it than "being the same tier" as Bedard or Celebrini.

@Xposed 1st overall picks rookie years: Connor Bedard- 61 points Celbrini= 63 points Lafrenier- 21 points Jack Hughes- 21 points Hischier- 52 points Matthews- 69 points Mckenna is not the Celebrin, Bedard or Matthews tier he is lower. 50 point winger = bottom 5 to playoffs? lol

Can’t stand moronic takes like this. Leafs will be right back in the running next season mark my words and save this tweet. 1st overall pick is ours and It will be a big off season getting the assets we need to make a run.

@WatchMyReview Only people mentioning that don't understand how drafting in the NHL top 5 works. You draft best player avail and address positional need later in draft or via free agency/trade.

It's weird people are saying "Leafs need to take the stud D "instead" of McKenna and mentioning Keaton Verhoeff.
