so fitting that talking about the leafs you have golf clubs in the background

The so-called "Shanaplan" crashed and burned/died a long time ago. At this point, if Shanahan is not going to be replaced or moved to another role in MLSE, then that would speak volumes as to how MLSE really feels about winning a Stanley Cup in Toronto. Signing Marner to an extension would also be a psychotic move. The Leafs clearly have a dysfunctional ownership model, with far too many people given a say in the direction of that hockey franchise. Pelley needs to be given the green light to clean house, and also give the green light to Treliving to make bold managerial decisions. Shanahan, Keefe, the entire coaching staff, and several roster players all need to be dumped during the off-season, otherwise the Leafs will simply stage an instant replay of this season's first round playoff exit to the Bruins in less than 365 days from now.

I feel gutted for Morgan. He was the only honest one in the group, which is disappointing. John Tavares will go down as the worse captain in franchise history. He seemed in denial and clearly not a leader you can win with by any means. To regress that much at 33 is insane, but to utilize buzz words throughout his tenure makes it so much worse. They gave him captaincy as a ploy to sign here, while drafting a generational talent. Giving a nobody, literally a nobody in Dubas who hasn’t accomplished anything at the highest level this covenant talent pool makes me sick. He hired his friend to coach, gave everything and anything to 16 given his birth certificate, signed and gave picks away for rentals who has no interest in signing or couldn’t be sign due to cap hell he and Shanny created was like watching a bad movie. Keefe had no business being a coach this long. Even worse, the audacity of Shanahan to continue on with his failed plan and extending him was beyond the scope of insanity. Somebody from the MLSE board of directors, stop the madness. I know you guys have enough money to careless about this fuckery, but you own the team. Do something about it. Us consumers are dying here watching this team fail yr after yr. And for the love of god - despite thinking his a deity, move the FUCK ON from Mitch Marner. That alone, with salvage some hope from this fan base. Nylander and Matthews, god willing don’t follow the same path of decline as JT, only have 4 yrs left of prime hockey, hopefully more (JT traumatized me) do it right this time. Learn from past mistake and move on from false promises from this so called president of hockey Ops and I would gladly upgrade my cable and phone plan. Enough with the Gong show.

Yes, don’t resign Mitch but let him play out his final year of the contract. If his play slackens off, demote him to the fourth line or make him watch from the press box. If any other teams are interested in a rental, inform Mitch and he might remove his no movement clause and if he doesn’t, just relegate him to the press box so the fans can boo him.

I've tuned out to anything the players have to say. They don't got it, full stop.

Signing Marner to an extension isn't as crazy as it seems, as long as the hockey world sees that value in him, and he has a ton of value. I would probably let the next coach make that decision. Maybe he can fix the post-season issues he's had. If I was the next coach, I wouldn't mind having a bit of say in that decision.

Dubas will hire Keefe this summer

Well if he's a god he doesn't need money.

Look, Marner did not have a great playoffs this year, but he’s been a consistent performer in many of the years prior. I’d much much rather see Keefe gone than Marner. Anyone could’ve coached this extremely talented roster to a playoff spot over these past few years. It requires a much better coach to actually get further than that though.

Matthews not admitting what his injury was seems very suspicious. Is he afraid that he will look bad by admitting his injury? Maybe it wasn't that serious and he could have played through it. Maybe that is why he doesn't want to admit his injury.

Ask yourself Marner or Domi and Bertuzi. Easy call Marner can drop it on anyone's stick miles ahead of both Domi and Bertuzi.

Can some one please explain to me why mitch isn't worth the money he got?? The guy has played amazingly even in the playoffs! Just look at his career playoff stats he's got the most points out of any active leaf, has more hits and blocked shots then nylander, best +/- out of the core 4, has the same amount of penalty minutes as nylander, plays in every situation because he has good hockey sense and defensive tendencies. I say he's definitely worth the money and he's the second best player on the leafs besides matthews.

The problem Brad Treliving faces is a bit tricky. Mitch Marner has a full NMC while the ideal solution would be to trade him in the off season for team needs. If no contract deal is reached, he could walk into the sunset for nothing as a UFA at the end of next season. Marner holds all of the cards unless it is made clear that he is not in the team's future plans. Losing him for nothing to free agency is an undesirable outcome but not near as undesirable as continuing with a top heavy, playoff inept cap structure. Treliving needs to play hardball here. If Marner does not waive his NMC to facilitate a trade, the only choice Treliving has is to let Marner play his final contract year without an extension.

Getting rid of Auston Matthews the best goal scorer in the league right now and Nylander the player who scored us the most points in the playoffs would be the wrong move, yes they have issues but issues that can be fixed with new players, new management, and new team culture. fixing them is better than trading them to fight against us. besides the underlying issue is cap space with Mitch Marner gone and John Tavares's contract pay being reduced next time he reigns and the cap going up soon enough the power and leverage they hold will be heavily reduced.

@@troublishone The player has complete control. The team cannot trade him, they cannot send him down to the minors, and they can't even place him on waivers. Unless he agrees to be traded, the team will have no choice but to make him play the season. He puts up 100 points per season.

No

No. Absolutely positively NO
