  1. It was awesome to see how Giordano and Muzzin are so involved in player development. Hopefully we can keep vets around like Tanev and Pacioretty, but the future is already looking bright

  2. Muzzin teaching all of the young guys: "When facing players like Matthew Tkachuk, just gently flip the puck at him at the end of a game."

  3. Hope Belle makes it, as a bottom 6 guy. Dude is physical as hell, would love cheering on his hits come playoff time. When is the last time the Leafs had a home grown tough guy, actually pan out?

  4. Let’s put it aside; it has been two years. Tree is not as ineffective as Dubas, but he also does not demonstrate exceptional qualities as a general manager. While Tree will participate in all trade discussions, he may lack the capacity to execute any significant, high-profile transactions. To mitigate the potential loss of Mitch, it is imperative to create additional cap space for a trade. Trading Morgan, who has a $7.5 million contract, is essential. If the cap situation were not so constrained, they would undoubtedly retain Morgan. However, given that the cap is not fully inflated, prioritizing the removal of Morgan's no-trade clause is critical for Tree's job security; otherwise, he may face termination next year.

    Currently, the team has two players, identified as 19 and 64, whom they have sought to trade for an extended period, yet they have been unable to attract any interest in their services. This scenario underscores their diminished value in the league and should serve as a wake-up call for management. It is alarming to have two key bottom-six players on the roster, costing nearly $6 million combined, yet contributing minimal utility.

    If Tree cannot facilitate a trade for Morgan (including persuading him to waive his no-trade clause) and fails to offload players 19 and 64, I can confidently predict he will be dismissed next season. Should he neglect to learn from the missteps of previous management—particularly the missed opportunity to trade Mitch before his no-trade clause went into effect—he risks repeating the same mistakes with players 44, 19, and 64. In light of these challenges, Tree may not be fit to continue as the general manager of the Leafs
