@LeafsPassion85 @DobberHockey That’s one of the dumbest suggestions I’ve ever heard.

Canucks about to announce NEW GM, another #NHL mock trade is making the rounds 👀 Vancouver receives: #LeafsForever 2026 1st Overall Pick Morgan Rielly Toronto receives: #Canucks 2026 3rd Overall Pick Elias Pettersson Who says no? 🤯

@HockeyPatrol They interviewed Willy on the FAN 590, he cam across very authentic on what he had to say about Gavin.

If you were to talk to McKenna's former head coach in Medicine Hat, Willie Desjardins, he could tell you that besides his innate ability to score and elevate his teammates, he refuses to take anything less than average: “When he was 16 he came back at Christmas, he was third in rookie scoring. The guys ahead of him weren't important so they're 18, sometimes older. He came back, his point-per-game was 1.3; [he said] that wasn't good enough, I need to be better... After practice one day he stayed on the ice and skated himself; not just himself. But hard and for the entire month of January he averaged 2.3 points a game - maybe higher. Somewhere over Christmas he decided it wasn't good enough. 'I can't live with that, I need to be better.” Leafs, he’s your guy!

@nylandernation @joeyferg Should have read “knock it out of the park” really need to use my reading glasses more.

@nylandernation Leafs should do a giveaway this season with a shirt with a # 12 ping pong ball on it. I know a guy that would on okay the design out of the park. @joeyferg

Good morning leafs nation

@ColinHartl @DrSeanOMara Great question!

@DrSeanOMara Can you define what this sprint session is? How long what speed etc

A single sprint session triggers more growth hormone than an hour on the treadmill. That hormonal response specifically mobilizes visceral fat. Jogging does not. Your ancestors did not survive by pacing themselves. They sprinted or they died. Follow their example, because your biology has not forgotten.

@DrSeanOMara What’s a safe way for a 64 year old walker to introduce sprints?

@joeyferg The TSN guys seem to have lost their minds sometimes. Button, CJ, Dreger. They are very hard to listen to.

really hoping Berube just resigns tbh

@tddt_5115 Berube’s system seems to neuter high octane offense.

Just no need to keep having these conversations about getting ‘bigger and meaner’. Theyre big enough. They arent skilled enough. They need skill in the worst way possible. If you trade Maccelli/Robertson, it should be for more skill, not for fucking Evander Kane as an FA.

- Ask any Canucks fan about Kane - Tuch will cost 11M+. - Bunting is fine. - Jenner is slow, older & will command top $$. - Kane is older and isn’t ‘big’ whatsoever - Did you watch Mantha in the playoffs? - McMann is fine but will cost huge $$. Enough with this ‘big is better’.

@nylanderthews Berube’s system seemed to neuter our offensive players to a degree.

Too many people focused on the Matthews point and not on Berube. Chayka will meet with Berube, he'll have no answers on how to fix the team (because we know he's completely lost), and Chayka will fire him. Matthews will stay after that.

@nylanderthews They will frame it as some type of mutual parting of the ways, I’m okay with that, Berube tried his best but it just didn’t work out.

@JohnEvanoff15 @nylanderthews Move some of the older D like McCabe and OEL for decent young players, with the cap jumping up you could even retain some salary to make it work.

@nylanderthews I am good to keep the following players Carlo Tanev Nylander Tavares Cowan Knies Draft McKenna Trade Matthews and Reilly as the big names To get a number 2 centre A great young puck moving defender And another high first round pick this year (drafting another defender )

Dreger on First Up says Chayka, Sundin, and Berube are expected to meet face to face tomorrow Dreger also says he's talked to some close with Rielly and every player gets to that place where things aren't working, maybe a fresh start is needed, and that's where Rielly's at now

@plannermyron11 @mariezo34 @nylanderthews @Mainely_Leafs I really have to wonder how healthy he’s been the last couple of seasons.

@mariezo34 @nylanderthews @Mainely_Leafs For the longest standing member of the current roster, he definitely doesn’t deserve the treatment and disrespect that has been on social media. The last couple years… This fan base is so toxic.

@mariezo34 @nylanderthews @Mainely_Leafs Yep always liked Mo and always will, he’s been a great leaf.

@nylanderthews @Mainely_Leafs I knew this was coming, but it’s sad to see how Morgan’s time w/ the Leafs is ending. If he’s at peace w/ moving on, I’m happy for him.

@BobBark11503563 @nylanderthews Bring in Cassidy, use this year to see what happens, maybe new system gets us in to a wild card spot, I would consider that a success. We basically just had a top 6 winger drop in our lap in McKenna on an entry level deal. Now use our cap space to add some D men and a center.

@nylanderthews Things really started not working with Mo and Matthew the moment when Berube came Moving on from him is arguably the biggest fresh start for this team and especially those two Now if Berube is still here would advice the entire core to ask out lol

@mariezo34 @NHLRumourReport Matthews has always played his cards pretty close to the vest, I would be curious the source, right now it has as much merit as Stevie Simpleton’s 19 out of 20 execs bull shit.

@NHLRumourReport I don’t love this news about Auston either, but why are we thinking CJ is full of it? He doesn’t strike me as someone who would put something so significant out to the public if he didn’t have a legit source.

Chris Johnston: I can tell you with strong sourcing on this, is that [Auston Matthews] needs time to think about things and he's just not totally sure what's best for his future and whether that lies with the Leafs - Chris Johnston Show (5/7)

@Chens89 @joeyferg @NHLRumourReport Yep, a team would offer us more if Matthews had a bit of contract left, if he goes as a pending UFA/rental the return won’t be as good.

@joeyferg @NHLRumourReport True, but I think you either get a long term commitment for him this summer, or he ultimately will walk in 2 years for nothing.

@nylanderthews @VanRyn2Alcatraz I don’t want to see McKenna healthy scratched, unless the longer schedule is wearing him down, then maybe he gets a night off or maybe just reduce his minutes.

@VanRyn2Alcatraz I agree on both fronts. There's not a single logical reason to bring him back, especially if the captain hates him

This is quite the departure from all the reporting on Berube this week where it appeared it was a slam dunk he was returning My opinion (and likely Matthews’) on Chayka will really be hinged on this decision. The Matthews stuff feels like FO pressure to improve coaching+roster.

@TMLJaysNiners Trade him and we spend the next 10 years looking for that type of player.

@TMLJaysNiners Knies is a unicorn, it would have to be a hell of a deal to move him.

You know what would go well with a playmaking franchise forward? A 23 year old power forward that hits, fights and has already scored 29 goals and had 66 points on one leg all year Don’t trade Knies

@DavidsonDo40325 @WatchMyReview I honestly wouldn’t mind them landing Cassidy and see what he can do.

@WatchMyReview Just another reason why Berube can't come back. That leaves only one possible reason to bring him back.....wait that one's not even valid because MLSE prints money. Pelley & Rogers probably spill more in wine in a season than what Berube's contract is worth.

I'm not getting the "2 way" obsession over a top pick who's a teenager. Making a pick over defensive play is really risky. When they are in the NHL a few years? Sure. Very important. McKenna's D? Who cares? You can learn defensive play. You can't "Learn" elite skill.
