big time leafs guy

Brad coming out in his press conference and leading with "this team has roster construction issues." Oopsies

Right I see what you're saying about picks vs. players, given who's making decisions right now. What a stupid situation. Ridiculous to have to hope the guy who has sewered your team doesn't compound the sewering on his way out the door. Also he might not even be on his way out the door

You need glue guys and guys who say forecheck backcheck paycheck are glue guys imo. It's a value add that he said forecheck backcheck paycheck

I would've liked OEL and Carlo out. I would've been fine retaining to maximize the returns. I would've liked them to add players, rather than exclusively draft picks (and that includes, actually, reasonable guys on waivers today). And yes, Berube needs to have been fired yesterday

Yes I know. But the intangibles

Waiting to find out they also fucked up Cowan's and Quillan's eligibility for AHL playoffs

The distressing part is it feels like this deadline lines up with Pelley's letter. The team doesn't think anything is broken. They think this is a weird, one-off season. They need major changes but all of their public signalling suggests they're running everything back for another doomed year. Yuck!

3rd rounder that could become a 2nd rounder. Ok. Big time LA guy over here. Love my Kings. Always rooting for the Los Angeles Kings

A 1st and Grebenkin for a 3rd and 16 points worth of Scottie Laughton. He did make that shot block in Game 6. Wow. Scottie Laughton. Played the game the right way every day. The intangibles, you can't put a price on. Well I guess the price is the difference between a 1st and Grebenkin for a 3rd but

Martin Biron suggesting the Leafs kept OEL because the thinking is "we have to keep somebody." Martin, they are returning the entirety of their D corps

Even if they managed to move Laughton at the buzzer, just an unconscionable deadline. Entirely lacking creativity or imagination. Sitting on 7M deadline space. Not taking contracts, holding multiple UFAs. Zero vision and zero execution. Truly a Leafs team built in its management's image

As the dust settles here on Trade Deadline 2026 it's important to remember that Brad Treliving was in on everything. Almost traded half the roster. Lots of possible deals on the table. But it's about not agreeing to something that would weaken your bargaining position this summer. So he did nothing

"I made it up" floating over the blue guy from The Watchmen. It's a meme

Liljegren and Sandin both in Washington ☹️

McMann to the Avs for two 2027 2nds (theirs and Minnesota's)

Huge deal. According to my sources, Brad Treliving has acquired a Jambalaya Fettucini, can of Diet Pepsi, and garlic toast side from Boston Pizza Front & John. Hearing $15 is headed the other way in return

(Obviously I don’t consider the Canadian division a real division, to clarify)

Ya it’s funny to be like “they stuttered on” and their only division win and their only series wins come after the Canadian division. Anyways

I still remember the Habs guys on the Athletic series preview laying out how the Habs could win. It was literally “maybe they injure the Leafs and Price steals some games”

A Habs guy will obviously want to believe it was all the Habs

Standard Wes McCauley whistle

I got ya. Ya we might be underrating how impossible Domi makes it to coach

Ya some other people did the math earlier this year, 3 in 10 seasons is on the low end. It's not working and it's getting worse. He should be out for sure

I'm not watching very carefully given, you know, everything, but if they iced it the players have to stay on, so Berube can't make a change in that spot. Either way I'm happy to blame him though

In a 2-2 game McCabe and Benoit have been completely walked on pinches leading to 2-on-1s against. A well coached team, that is, if they're being coached to lose

Garland turning 30 in less than a week and signed 6x6 starting next season and has 7 goals this year and Pierre LeBrun is sitting on television saying any Garland trade will return "significant assets" for the Canucks

😔

Ok now you're right. It's not. I hate Brandon Carlo and want draft picks

You're right and it's making me rethink my "trade Brandon Carlo" position

Yeah with 55 seconds on the clock. Then they cycled for another 40 seconds and settled for shots from the point
