@JeffVeillette Frees them up to use their cap space to attack the blue line. McKenna Nylander Knies JT Auston and Guy is a great top 6

I have been negative about a lot of things lately but this is incredible. No question here, McKenna time
English
@JeffVeillette Pellets lack of answers regarding vision and where the buck stops was concerning. He seems to not even know what structure he’s created/or is trying to downplay how much of a role he’ll have

Follow Up to Yesterday's Question:
How did you feel about the Chayka/Sundin/Pelley presser just now? Did it shift your opinion on the hirings in either direction?
Toronto Maple Leafs@MapleLeafs
MLSE announced two leadership appointments for the Toronto Maple Leafs, naming John Chayka General Manager and Leafs legend Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor, Hockey Operations. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
English
@JeffVeillette I think more hopeful than I was with the Treliving hiring. If you’re gonna get someone with a mixed bag record in their first stop get the guy who got the position super young and didn’t have a great support system in terms of experienced executives to help them.
English
Now that it’s official: What’s everyone’s first impression reaction here? Don’t worry about being right or wrong later, just what you’re feeling in the moment.
Toronto Maple Leafs@MapleLeafs

@Felix_Sicard Stuck in Canada watching the oilers home broadcast trying to pretend to be neutral
English
Randy Hahn and Drew Remenda have to be a top 5 commentary duo in the league. Just so good.
English
@Felix_Sicard Saw a chance to clear a salary for the mintyukov zellweger Gauthier and Carlsson extensions and took it while they could
English
A strange ending to a strange saga. Ducks essentially dump Strome’s salary.
Eric Stephens@IcemanAthletic
Ducks are done after trading Ryan Strome to Flames for a seventh-round pick. Calgary is taking on his full $5M cap hit and salary this year and next.
English
@JeffVeillette They paid way way way too much for him but at least they didn’t sunk cost fallacy and try and extend him to justify the cost and cut their losses
English
At last year's trade deadline, Toronto acquired Scott Laughton for a first-round pick and Nikita Grebenkin (22yo, as many points as Laughton this year).
Toronto just got back a third-round pick from Los Angeles for Laughton.
Absolute masterclass in asset management
English
@StevePalazzolo_ Ineligible man downfield is such a stupid penalty anyways. Nobody cares when a linemen goes half a yard too far on a play when watching live.
English
@AdamWylde Edmonton slamming the door shut on their window with Mcdavid by making short sighted moves like letting him walk
English
I still have not adjusted to the new economics of the NHL
Broberg is a great player, but imagine I told you in summer 2024 when he was an RFA that 18 months later he’d sign an extension for 8 mill. Damn.
B/R Open Ice@BR_OpenIce
Philip Broberg has signed a 6 year extension at $8M per season 💰
English
@JeffVeillette Side note. Ben Danford who I really liked last year in the OHL finals has looked very disappointing. Seems to be stuck in dump out mode.
English
Probably should've been at this tournament the last couple years, but thank goodness he's here now
Scott Wheeler@scottcwheeler
Zayne Parekh (CGY) scores! Might have gone off of Cole Reschny (also CGY). Whenever Canada has needed a big play from a big player in this tournament, it has been Parekh. Biggest one yet. Tie game. 2-2. #WorldJuniors
English
@Felix_Sicard Only thing I can think is the glove was outside the blue paint. Still a wild call.
English
@NicardoNeil @StevePalazzolo_ The alternative is you fail with 0 minutes left and have no chance to make it up. This isn’t complicated
English
@StevePalazzolo_ Now you've failed and added the need for another possession in a game with 3 mins left. Juice ain't worth the squeeze.
English
@JeffVeillette People don’t understand you have to be good enough in transition to be able yo forecheck and play physical. When you can’t get past centre ice you can’t forecheck and hit.
English
The most annoying part is that you know that every person who asked for this Leafs team is going to see this and say that the problem is that this group doesn't care/want it enough, and that the solution is to burn the last remaining assets to acquire clones of the same guys
English
@StevePalazzolo_ No but also the jays have been getting plunked all series make them scared to throw inside because they might get tossed if they miss
English
Do you really think a pitcher is trying to hit someone in Game 7?
English
@AdamWylde Or they are just have gotten older and slower for the last few years
English
I gotta be honest - I don’t even think it’s a skill issue
I think it’s a motivation issue. They’re not playing with any fire, any attention to detail. Nothing.
English
@JeffVeillette The pettiest part of my soul needs the jays to beat the dodgers just so Ohtani and Yamamoto lose to the team they rejected for the super team dodgers.
English
@JohnnyGiunta_ Sac bunting with your 7 hitter when your 8 and 9 hitters suck is a choice and a half lol
English
I can’t stress enough how massive of a 0 that was. Thank you Shane.
English
@JeffVeillette People are gonna talk about effort and care level when it’s just they’re old and slow. Because management decided getting bigger and slower was the cure to their issues.
English
Through five periods, this Leafs team is looking a lot like a team that needs things to go right, rather than one that needs them to not go wrong, if that makes any sense
English
@DianteLeeFB The amount of first down run stuffs followed with another run this year has been insane.
English
Maybe it’s just me… but I wouldn’t be running the ball on first and second down while I’m chasing two scores
English
