Bien que cela puisse ressembler à la façon dont se déroulent la plupart des recherches de postes importants, Chris Johnston du SDPN a rapporté aujourd’hui sur The Chris Johnston Show que la dernière fois que les Maple Leafs étaient en train de trouver un nouveau directeur général, le filet n’était pas aussi large.
« De toute évidence, il y avait des contraintes de temps, pour trouver quelqu’un en place au moment où le repêchage est arrivé et être prêt pour l’agence libre », a déclaré Johnston au co-animateur Julian McKenzie. « Les seules personnes à qui je sais que les Leafs ont parlé à ce moment-là étaient évidemment Brad Treliving et Marc Bergevin. Il y a peut-être eu une autre entrevue ou deux dont je n’ai jamais entendu parler, mais le fait est que ce n’était pas un long processus ou qu’il n’incluait pas une longue liste de candidats. «
Je tiens à souligner que Treliving était l’embauche de Shanahan, pas celle de Pelley. Je pense que cela pourrait être interprété comme la deuxième plus grande erreur de Shanahan, l’autre étant de ne pas permettre à Kyle Dubas d’échanger Mitch Marner avant l’intervention du NTC.
Quoi qu’il en soit, c’est un détail embarrassant que je ne pense pas pouvoir pardonner un jour à Shanahan. Pour quelqu’un qui était progressiste à bien des égards, il a paniqué et a choisi un putain de dinosaure plutôt qu’un autre dinosaure.

Real cream of the crop
I feel like we heard this when it happened, brad got an interview in person and was almost guaranteed to be getting the job right when Dubas was gone, they gave Bergevin a zoom interview
Bruh
Shanhan fired Dubas with no real plans to look for a replacement
Dubas had to go (the rewrite of Dubas history here is crazy)
But only interviewing 2 people is a sloppy job
So basically french Treliving. Shanahan really lost the plot by the end
Bergevin would have actually had the balls to make big moves.
The better question for the group is would Bergevin been better or worse than Treliving
Shows how quickly Shanahan turned on Dubas with no backup plan in play. This knee jerk decision has ruined this era of the team.
Shanahan really took a huge fall post dubas. He was middling leading up to the summer of 2023 but did himself no favours with going to the direction of Tre, due diligence be damned
what a fucking shitshow
The misinformation and fabricated narratives about Shannahan « not allowing Kyle Dubas to trade Mitch Marner before the NTC kicked in » and/or « Dubas was going to trade Marner » really needs to stop. It’s to the point where it’s an echo chamber with each of you just fueling one another about something that was never said.
Here’s the clip that everyone is referencing when talking about « Dubas trading Marner ». Skip to 14:04: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzCS4f2TEb8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzCS4f2TEb8)
The irony is that the very first thing Dubas answers with is « the answer to this gets ***construed in many ways*** » and lone behold, look how it gets construed lol. His point was that he was open to pretty much anything to improve the team. Could that involve a Marner trade? Absolutley. Could it also have involved Nylander? Absolutely. Could it involve asking Reilly to waive his NMC? Absolutely. Obviously trading one of Marner or Nylander would’ve been the easiest route, but to say its a foregone conclusion that either player would’ve been traded is just painfully ignorant. If anything, I think Nylander would’ve been the one to go given his lower cap hit and the fact his production/impact would’ve been easier to replace than Marners.
Not that many have you even read this far, but in a time where misinformation with deepfakes and A.I is only getting more prevelant, do yourself a favour and at least fact check things before believing them. This is a meaningless discussion about hockey so who gives a shit, but I see countless comments on here that just repeat things others keep saying that’s not true and purely fabricated. You guys are the ones that are gonna be impacted the most cause you’re willing to believe whatever you read or hear so long as it fits your belief
8Somehow Shanahan chose the worse option. At least with the Burger man he’d trade Minten, 2 1sts, Cowan, and Grebenkin for Carlo and Laughton, but then have the Leafs make the ECF, both players play like its in a contract year, then trade them for another set of head scratchers that make no sense, but somehow work due to black magic.
Then have the wheels completely fall off as soon as we own our pick again and get fired because he wanted to trade Knies for Dante Fabro 1 for 1.
Also he’d pick some random kid from Quebec who ends up becoming the next Pat Roy
Holy fuck
> There may have been another interview or two that I never heard about
You don’t say. Pretty misleading headline
jesus christ
Oh my god it could have been even worse.
It was a near perfect narrative arc. Shanahan both raised the team up from mediocrity and then pulled it back down again.
The shannaplan went down in flames a few years before the leafs did this year it seems
Bergevin did *some* good for Montreal; getting Anderson, drafting Caufield and getting Suzuki and Tatar for Pacioretty. Montreal wouldn’t be where they are without those moves
But he also did a lot of really bad shit like trading Sergachev for Drouin, drafting Kotkaniemi over Tkachuk and Hughes, sending two second round picks to Chicago for Andrew Shaw (one of those picks turning into DeBrincat) or signing Karl Alzner to a 5 years contract
Overall it’s hard to say if he did more good than bad, but I’m just glad we were able to get back to a competitive team
Shanny either didn’t want to continue once his contract was up or he knew he was going to be let go, he just filled a seat with treliving. How would shanahan go from a forward thinking hire like Dubas and then go to treliving lol, it was a head scratcher for me anyway.
Oh Jesus.
Shanny was really polishing turds before his exit.
If it was between Treliving and Bergevin, they picked the wrong guy.
What kind of incompetent halfwit doesn’t make their first round picks top 10 protected these days!?
This is worse than just hiring Treliving outright.
The fact the management isn’t getting raked over the coals night after night about this shows how little bite the Toronto media actually has. This team from the top down is coddled.
🤦♂️
was chiarelli not available? mike milbury?
Lol this is funny. And not surprised.
He couldn’t draft for shit, but he left that team in better shape than most fired GMs. His Suzuki extension essentially set the bar for all their future contract extensions. I don’t know how he pulled that off.
The Leafs are not a serious organization anymore.
They should just hire Cherelli what could go wrong?
