He had decided to go to Vegas well before this incident, that should be obvious. This is Mitch Gaslighting and shifting blame elsewhere, and not on him. It’s pretty typical for someone who has avoided accountability for their failures.

Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
Official data is in today, and America set a new record-high for solar power in June, with generation up 25% compared to last year!
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “President Trump’s attempt to fire the Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook is a grab for power in defiance of the nation’s laws, and if it succeeds, it will be to the detriment of the nation’s interests,” the editorial board writes.
Is that you Paul?
No, Marner isn't "THE" scapegoat. They've all failed to deliver, but his underperformance objectively and consistently has been the worst of the group. When you need change, you remove the weakest link, and if you can't see that it's been Marner...
Please, if Vegas wins a cup, it's in spite of him, not because of him. He's a complete disappearing act when it counts. In the last seven playoffs, he's played 21 games, in games 5, 6 or 7. He has ZERO goals in 21 games, and SEVEN assists. His playoff performances have been by FAR, the worst.
False. Nylander has won the World Championships, J18 Swedish Championship, U17 WHC. Matthews won U17 WHC, U18 WJC x 2. Tavares OHL Champion, U20 WJC x 2, Olympic Gold, World Cup Gold. Marner was the weakest playoff link. The Leafs failed to achieve playoff success with him, so change was needed
If you want to be viewed as one of the best, you have to be one of the best when it counts.
The Leafs needed to make changes away from the same group who failed to achieve their playoffs goal. This was a good split for both parties.
Delusional.
Interestingly, when they were in power in Canada not so long ago, the federal Conservatives tried to wrest control of data dissemination from Statistics Canada. It was vigorously and successfully resisted for all the obvious reasons necessary to maintain an informed citizenry.
Signed July 15th.
Toronto is kind of close to Detroit… which was my main point. Edmonton, not so much.
Everything said about him, is he’s contemplating retirement, or wants to play close to home. (Detroit area).
That top 6 is going to be difficult, but the extras will be moved at some point for sure, though that might be after the season starts.
As crazy as it sounds, Leafs have been involved in two of the last four trades completed in the NHL. Just nothing going on right now. www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/t...
So perfect for the job then?
Funny.
PTO maybe… just to see if he can actually skate.
As a PTO, this makes sense.

Why do the Leafs need to clear cap space?
Unserious proposal.
Quoting something, an anonymous poster made up on the internet, without a source, as proof that Danford shines? I thought it was pretty obvious that was a made up quote.
No interest in Andersson... or Roslovic
They’ve been a 90 point pace team without him in the lineup in the past, without adding players. They’ll be fine to make the playoffs. You can step off the ledge now.
All that matters is playoff results, not regular season points. The last playoffs he was in, Joshua had four goals, and 74 hits. That’s more than Marner over the last two years. The team needed to change, and he was part of what was needed to change. Nobody thinks this is a better reg season team
If you’ve watched him play, you would understand why he will be a third liner for us. He’ll likely end up as a 24-28 point producer, while be decent defensively and very physical.
Reaves couldn’t play hockey, and didn’t do the enforcer stuff when needed. Absolutely useless. Amazing that we got anything for him.
Sign him and play him. It’s not like they managed to sign anybody else with offensive skills this offseason.
So the Leafs are interested in Roslovic, a soft, defensively inept winger, who will sign for less than the cap space Leafs have available, but they need to open up cap space to do so, and people keep saying he’s a C? Make this make sense.
And yet, you still don’t display any understanding of the difference. No hope for some it seems. Happy Canada Day weekend.
You don’t know the difference between a RFA and UFA? Didn’t realize Tkachuk was a RFA? You don’t know what that means?
Not at all comparables, which seems to indicate you understand neither situation very well. This certainly explains why someone would be upset that the GM “might” get valuable assets out of a situation where he is about to get nothing.
So getting quality assets for a guy who is about to leave for nothing is bad? Hmmm.
Maybe they can get a 1st for Steeves. 😂

Toews contract is terrible. He’ll need to be around 0.5ppg to justify that. I’d be surprised if he got 30.
You are comparing a guy who hasn’t played in two years, and hasn’t been over 37 points since 2019-20, to two guys who have been over 60 points per season?
And what is McDavid going to do? Great player, but he can’t win with a thin lineup in Toronto or Edmonton.
He’s not moving, so you can scratch that idea of your list.
Which proves why he’s not Captain material.
Karlsson might become available as well. Bennett extends in FLA. Granlund is also my choice of UFA.
Kansas City Shuffle. Throw a bunch of stuff for people to be angry about, while seizing unlimited power and money.
No... it's how the team is structured cap wise. In the end, your best players, have to be the best players on the ice when it counts. They've never been that.
It's because these players have lacked the ability to contribute when it counts the most. When it's multiple oppositions who do this, it's not them, it's us.
I think for an accurate portrayal of what's happened in this era, look at the results in Games 5, 6 and 7. They've done well in the first 3/4 games, and fallen off later on in series.

It’s the best regular season team the Leafs have probably ever had. It isn’t a very good playoffs team though. Some changes are necessary, but certainly not below it up.
😱 85% of primary energy still comes from fossil fuels! This graph is grim. But here's a short thread about why things are not as bad as they first seem 🧵
Stamkos? Anyone should be embarrassed for writing this, he is a terrible 5v5 hockey player now, and way overpaid.

Or we could... wait until there is a contract before getting worked up about this?
I hope he resigns too, but I don’t blame him if he seeks out opportunity elsewhere. We really haven’t given him a fair shot.
Hey Josh, how is Steeves skating now... I know it's much improved, but is it a strength for the NHL?
Will Steeves be back next year is the main question, or will he look elsewhere to get into the NHL? He earned a shot, but wasn't really given much opportunity.
The question on that is term. If it was $5 mil x 3 years.. why not do $3.5 mil x 6 years, like the Gourde deal. Keep the AAV down, but pay for years you don't expect him to play. It's pre-35, so if he retires, or LTIRertires it's off the book, he still gets paid.
Duchene is a UFA, so you can't trade him... he's free to sign wherever he wishes.
All we need is a healthy Matthews then… which is a little like voodoo.
McBain
Doing the same thing, and expecting different results, is the definition of insanity. The goal is the cup, and this group has repeatedly fallen short, so change is necessary. Marner is incredibly talented, but unfortunately is also the one with the biggest drop off in performance when it counts.
And again…. Second worst points drop off in the playoffs, compared the the regular season.
MacKinnon has excelled in games 5 & 6’s. Marner disappears after game 4’s. It takes a team to win, but when you repeatedly fail, changes are necessary.
Let’s see his points totals in games 5, 6 and 7.
Shanahan in his final press conference acknowledged he was brought in to win a cup. He acknowledged he failed to do so.
During his exit interview, he acknowledged he was brought in to win the cup. He failed to do so, there is no other way to spin it.
Move Karlsson and McNabb.... done.

Nice job quoting a story from 2008, and then mispresenting it.
Foreign controlled media is a problem, particularly when associated with foreign governments. Look at the US stance on TikTok.
The challenge being, the market and likely upper mgmt demands playoff success. They have repeatedly failed on this, so change of some sort is needed. Nylander 0 points, Marner 1 assist, Matthews 1 goal, Tavares 0 points after game 3. These are repeated late games in the playoffs, yr after yr.
