The Toronto Maple Leafs spiral after a crushing 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, sparking debate: Is Craig Berube’s job on borrowed time? With their playoff hopes fading, Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti dissect the team’s uninspired performance and roster decisions affecting young talents like Easton Cowan and Matthew Knies. The looming NHL trade deadline shifts focus towards the latest rumblings on players like Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, plus management’s uncertainty on whether to embrace a dignified tank and improve lottery odds.

If Bobby Mcmann and Domi are on your top line you have a major problem
I also feel like they honestly thought the core 4 were going to get them the cup and when that didn’t happen they didn’t really have a plan
leafs are gonna blow this opportunnity
Domi shouldn't be on the top line.
Why fire Berebe now,wait until the season is over
The Leafs NEED losses. Not wins
Mercifully, just let him go. There’s no point keeping ‘The Chief’!
Get your 1st for McMann ,didn’t he disappear in the playoffs last year!
Mathews may welcome a trade to LA or other California teams. Byfield, Clarke and more.
Would Willy agree to go to St Louis, for Robert Thomas and others.
Trade OEL and others for picks and prospects.
Build with Knies, Cowan and Danford.
I'm pretty sure craig berube is relieve and happy if leafs fire him.Who want to coach these bunch of loser and quitters.
Tank time
