Pelley is a tool! SMH
At this point just rebuild it. A retool may work, but it requires a GM who’s been with the team and knows what they need, and the leafs don’t have that. Start fresh, get a brand new team with a new GM, a new coach (I love berube and don’t blame him for this teams season but gotta do what you gotta do) and stay trading everyone for top prospects and draft picks. You can get a massive haul back for Matthews if you trade him before he makes it known he wants out. You he has a NMC, but if the new GM can talk to him and have him agree to a list of teams he’s willing to go to for him to get a cup, you can get players and prospects for him. Top draft picks for Matthews with an NMC isn’t happening since he won’t go to teams that have those in abundance since they’ve been trash. The Matthews era was wasted and it hasn’t gotten them anywhere. It’s time to start thinking about the future without him because I don’t think he’ll resign with the leafs at this rate. New GM could ask around and find a team that’s willing to give major futures for him and make a trade. Leafs need to find a new core and a new way to win. Because it hasn’t worked so far
Meh who cares they'll never make it out of the second round no matter what they do … toronto is a basketball or baseball town
REBUILD. TEAR IT DOWN AND START AGAIN.
Harry Nancy is a wild name
Keep Cowan and Knies, ship off Matthews and whoever else can get them picks and younger players.
They care about the raptors.
Rogers will make PAL Hal look like a genius!
Leafs need a guy like Dubas, look at what he's done in Pittsburgh.
Hire steve dangle as the gm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They can call it a retool but it's a rebuild no matter what they think it's a rebuild what guarantee do they have that first second liners free agents would want to play for the leafs they might get a third or fourth liner they will make a trade or two this off season next season trade deadline they make one or two trades and get a couple draft picks here and there by 2028-29 the leafs will be a different team plus Matthews and Nylander won't be a leaf forever
That Smelly Pelly
Retool. Matthew's retires in 2035 still no 2nd round of playoffs. Rebuild or retool. ??? Hmmmm. We'll. Retool obviously. Haha you guys are mad
They HAD the assets to retool but they bungled the deadline so bad you may have to seriously look at a rebuild
Leafs need to FACE REALITY and accept that it’s over for Matthews
I think next year I am either going to stop watching Hockey or pick another team to follow because TOR will never get their act together.
Their management has been the laughing stock of the NHL for almost 60 years!!!!
I can't take this anymore , it is like watching a trainwreck every year and expecting it to end well!
The Carolina Panthers (the NFL team) hired a consulting firm at the end of their 2024 season. They were ran much better in 2025.
I usually only hype negative Ontario housing market videos. But I hyped this one because I hope MLSE fires Pelley. He was a HORRIBLE hire!!!
Send Matthews somewhere for huge haul. Move any player for picks if you can. This core clearly is rotten and it's not going to work. Try something new.
I dont care what they do next. As long as Pelley is in charge, nothing will ever change.
