Leafs in 2023 had some flaws, but overall they were still a really good team. Took Tre just 2.5 years to run them into the ground. Incredible work.

I said this when they got him. I’ll say this again. Brad is much worse than Dubas. Brad has screwed all teams he’s been too. We are just next on the list.
Fucking nepo baby hire kamikazing our future and team. Leafs window is closed.

We are so cooked my dudes.
I think we should go for a significant retool.
Keep Matthews, sell anyone else you have to in order to build a team that’s faster and younger.

He’s going to be responsible for losing Auston Matthews for nothing. We all know it.

What about the 2027 1st?! Skylar where is it?!

Hindsight it was absolutely the wrong thing to do and it’s the GMs job to get it right but can we all just take a moment to remember how we felt last year?
Consensus was definitely that it was an overpay but the consensus was also that Carlo was a legit top 4 guy and the best partner Rielly has ever had. Everyone also said that Minten was gunna top out as a 3rd line C at best.
Now imagine he didn’t make that trade and the playoffs played out the same way, people would be pissing and moaning that all Brad did at the deadline when we were winning the division was add Scott Laughton. Obviously if things continued to play out the same way this year people would have been happy to still have that pick but the majority of any reputable hockey personality had the Leafs making the playoffs this year in spite of Marner’s departure. What people weren’t expecting was the rise of teams like Montreal, Detroit, Buffalo and to a lesser extent Boston.
Just an unfortunate set of circumstances. All good though, unless there’s a miracle stretch run we will miss and then we can clean house and start the rebuild. Only problem is that I have absolutely no faith in Keith Pelley lol so I would hope his first order of business after firing everyone is hiring a president of hockey ops.
We had a good run(not really lol) but it’s time to turn the page. Rebuild this thing around Knies, Cowan and Woll. Hopefully keep Laughton for the culture and then get a haul for Auston and Willy if you’re able to.

FIRE TRELIVING . MLSE is a loser organization and will never win the cup with their incompetence.
I remember commenting with this clip a lot here back in the 2010s. Now it is back!

This whole sub was pretty happy about getting Carlo last year. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work. 16 teams trade picks for players each year. It only works out for 2 teams at most.
I mean, we could get it back by finishing bottom 5.

I’m so glad he is far away from Calgary now. He ruined our team.

Treliving trades within his division waaaaaay too often.
He did it with Calgary too.

I think you understand you are giving away more than you are getting for a playoff push, but Carlo and Laughton were terrible targets. Just like anyone we have tried to add at deadline deals.

The money Skylar, WHERE IS THE MONEY!

If only we had the 2026 1st round pick, we’d be in a playoff position right now!

Ah yes the 2026 first which will be in the higher 16 is a real asset we’re missing

Trading with Boston. What could go wrong

Hey Brad, do you ANY idea what you’re doing?
