@Arunthings @TLNdc I wonder if he knows Bruce Cassidy is available ??

In a scrum with reporters Leafs GM John Chayka says he’s open to retaining Craig Berube as head coach. Chayka says it’s hard to find really good coaches, despite the Leafs’ poor on-ice performance this year. @TLNdc

@Jay_D_Rosehill Jay - do you think there are more players out there who had that same experience as you with Chayka regarding the contract offer ?

Even with all the negativity around today and that press conference, I think Mats Sundin is going to be phenomenal in Toronto.

And then imagine you throw Cooper into that mix if he’s let go (probably won’t happen ) but imagine ..

@PatrickHitch86 @OverDrive1050 Because of his past. Because he’s not really respected by most people in the league. The fact that there have been 25 GM openings since he last had a job and has never been considered once is telling.

@OverDrive1050 I have a thought, yes more than one word, hear me out. If always hiring the obvious choice such as Treliving didn’t work and hasn’t worked to this point, why not go off the board like this, they went off the board with Dubas and he was the best GM we have had in recent history…

#LeafsForever nation.. Use ONE word to describe the introductory press conference for Mats Sundin and John Chayka

@MapleLeafs 20+ GM’s have been hired since he last had a job. Did anyone at MLSE ask one important question.. why hasn’t anyone else given him at least a sniff at an opening in the last 5-6 years?

John Chayka's vision

@mnmfan76 It’s probably better that way. If you knew you would be like 🤔

I have no idea who you are but LET’S DO THIS 🙏🏼 #LeafsForever 💙

@coreylandsberg Tampering fines are massive. I don’t think they actually want to do it. I feel like they let the teams sort it out themselves hence being able to get Roy. Teams / GM’s have to work together in the future so I don’t think anyone of them actually want to go through with it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@super_io84 Sort of. They also wanted Marner to sign an 8 year deal. But if the league truly believed there was tampering they should have looked into it. As usual it was “nothing to see here”

Have the investigations into the Oilers for tampering with Zach Hyman & Jack Campbell happened yet or are they waiting to investigate the Golden Knights for tampering with Marner first? Either way, I'm sure the team of investigators at NHL head office are actively looking at this

@GovaMarchetti @MapleLeafs Underrated tweet. Well played

@MapleLeafs Why is Rick Moranis in the middle?

Day 1 Press Conference at 1pm

@MapleLeafs Will leave this right here puckpedia.com/gms/john-chayka

For the city 🫡

@MapleLeafs And the guys already been investigated for tampering according to Seravalli LOL What are we doing here ..

@MapleLeafs #FirePelley

We have named John Chayka the General Manager and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor, Hockey Operations Details » shorturl.at/WYQiF

@frank_seravalli #FirePelley

Sources: Prior to Sunday, the #NHL looked into a tampering concern raised as new Maple Leafs GM John Chayka began to hire his staff. The claim was unsubstantiated but underlined the suspicion some counterparts have for Chayka as he resurfaces. Details: hockey247.com/2026/05/04/fra…

@mattyh_82 @MapleLeafs People seem to not want to rember this. Then signed with Van the following year. Offered him an opportunity to chase and win a cup at the deadline and he said no. This is who they’re bringing in to “win”

@MapleLeafs Another ex Leaf he wouldn't waive his no trade and screwed us

Mornin’

@LilosFather @spittinchiclets Costanza!

@spittinchiclets A dysfunctional GM with a checkered past in this role (Google what happened in Arizona) and someone else with no experience in the front office. Head scratcher… but maybe the Leafs just need to try the OPPOSITE of what seems right for it not to go wrong?

Leafs hire John Chayka as their new GM, and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor of Hockey Operations 🍁

One of the nastiest cases of “f*ck around and find out” just went down in Korean MMA Straight out of a movie 😳

@reporterchris @markhmasters I wonder how many people are not going to renew their season tickets

It's official: The #leafs are hiring Mats Sundin and John Chayka to lead their revamped front office, with the press conference at 1 p.m. tomorrow Interesting times ahead in Toronto

@al_powell57674 @PapiLeafs34 @pahshik @reporterchris He’s been running 60+ Wendy’s sitting on their board of directors while I’m pretty sure his sister is the one operating and running the analytics company

@PapiLeafs34 @pahshik @reporterchris My point was he hasn’t been employed by any NHL team for the past 6 years.

Key takeaway: After six years on the sidelines from the NHL, John Chayka is now running the show at a precarious point for the #leafs. More than 20 general managers have been hired league-wide since Chayka resigned from the Arizona Coyotes in July 2020.

@ngrandy72 @Sportsnet @AnnaNoelleDua Yes

@Sportsnet @AnnaNoelleDua So, is Chayka both the Hockey Ops Head and GM if he is the one reporting to KP?

Elliotte Friedman has learned the Maple Leafs have hired John Chayka as General Manager and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor.

@reporterchris Keith - tell us more about Chayka’s hockey mind. It’ll be raining burgers inside the ACC if this blows up in your face
