@L69fs @simonleafs It's so annoying to be a Leafs fan, because there's so many reasons to give the team the benefit of the doubt, but after giving the benefit so many times, you're bound to go crazy

Makes me sick that up-and-coming teams like the Ducks, Flyers, and Habs were instantly rewarded with joke matchups against washed-up husks of teams while the Leafs' young core were essentially condemned to a seven-year gauntlet of cup finalists right off the bat every damn year

@thewsTML The business side of things? I mean that would be Pelley. There’s nothing wrong with that. He does that anyway lol. You want Pelley away from the hockey stuff. He’s there for the business/ dealing with the board.

Elliotte Friedman on 32TP this morning. Says it’s very clear that when you look at Sundin it’s clear he’s proud to be a Maple Leaf, he loves the team, the organization, he’s come back several times and spoken up in defence of the players and has talked about how much of a privilege it is to wear that jersey and represent the organization. The organization felt that the mindset had slipped this year and the pride in wearing the jersey had fallen. They wanted to find someone at the top that lived and breathes that pride (Mats Sundin). Says he believes the role will be Vice President of Hockey Operations. EF said it took some time, but he thinks the Leafs are now negotiating with him to do it. Says that Scott White and John Chayka were finalists but says that if Sundin is in - he believes it’ll be John Chayka as GM. #LeafsForever

@JeffVeillette Like honestly this all just sounds to me like Shanahan 2.0 except with a former Leaf and without Shannys previous experience in the league(DoPS, etc)

I don't really know what to think anymore, leaning towards the last few days of reports being misdirection. Because if they aren't, it feels like they're taking the wildest possible path here
Willyston Riellander@nylanderthews

This follows up with Friedman's reporting that it feels like the Leafs have offered Sundin the POHO role and he's gone back to Sweden to talk it over with his family, see if they're ready to move back to and commit to Toronto full time.

I will say Jim Nill was easily my favourite candidate to replace Treliving as GM, but that was probably never going to happen. Tapping his right hand man as a replacement instead is definitely the next best option.

@clahanna I think jailbreak works better for the PWHL than the NHL. The NHL's seen some pretty gruesome, violent assaults that were given just penalties. It needs to be punished more in the NHL, not less. I think the behaviour of players in the PWHL allows for jailbreak to be successful

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was asked if the NHL has considered adopting the #PWHL jailbreak rule: “I like what we have. I’m not going to search for a problem just so we can fix it. Our system works very well for us.”

@nylanderthews Gillis POHO Chayka GM Sundin AGM is such a weird mix I wouldn't expect. I'd have no idea what to think until they start making actual moves

Really interested to see where the Leafs go at GM. I don’t think either Gillis or Sundin want to be a GM, so does that mean the Leafs are going to hire three people? Would give them much more confidence to hire a first time GM though with Gillis as POHO and Sundin as VPOHO

@laffalytics we've so rarely had the feeling of watching the team play and being like "holy shit they got us" but this felt like one of them. one of the very top best moments of this era easily

Dreger mentioned Leafs are targeting forwards with "Size and Bite" this offseason. Sounds like they are ready to target their main issues...

@tmlfaninvan Shut down Matthew Knies instead of grinding him into the ground and you guarantee a top 5 pick. It was so simple, yet these bozos bungled it. To be fair though, the Leafs down the stretch were near perfect: 0-6-1. It looked like at one point they weren't gonna get near bottom 5

PSA: the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2025-2026 lost 30 games by 1 goal or by 1 goal + EN
Roger Lajoie@TheRog590

#Leafs tanked well. End up fifth worst overall, where they need to be to keep first round pick this year. However if the lottery balls don't co-operate, pick could still go to Boston. #LeafsForever fans hope for good luck, haters hope for bad luck. 30 point drop from last year.

If you're a Leafs fan making Playoff brackets it's time to stop. Have some respect for yourself. The NHL season is effectively over.

Pelley using AI to summarize trade ideas when he has no hockey experience is a nothing burger. Every high level business is using AI to optimize workflows. AI is used to make internal tools that make tasks more efficient. The Leafs data team is almost certainly using AI coding tools to build models. Pelley isn't suggesting the next GM should ask chat gpt for free agent recommendations and any sources alluding to anything like this are just dinosaurs who dont understand modern technology.

@joeyferg @tmlfaninvan I totally get it. If you get 20 calls from the Leafs and all they do is ask if a player is available, and for what price, when you're busy and trying to focus on making deals, I'd be pissed. Like stop wasting my time and trying to shop around, are you interested or not?
