Leafs have some picks and we find out May 5 how sad we should be when positions are finalized. 1.5*: 2.61 (BUF): 3.69: 4.114: (ANA): 5.133: 5.160 (COL): 6.169 (SJS):

Profile pic checks out (Ben Kingsley got raaaaange)

Oh he will absolutely ask to speak to a manager How do you start with this and then immediately follow with…

Evan Gold talking Bruins stuff in the preseason Scott White has Berube voice Ryan Hardy 1-on-1 with Todd Crocker

He was thinking “it’s easy to play with Willy”, right?

Sunny is about to sign some of the dumbest players to ludicrous contracts so he can supplement his income on every plane ride with the team

This is dope (looks like they got him Sheldon’s size)

"this has definitely been a much more comprehensive search than the Leafs put on three years ago"

People don't want retreads, but also don't want candidates they've never heard of before. And they have to be young and progressive, but experienced enough to be able to handle the Toronto mega-corporate market. It's a pretty small needle head to thread. Therein lies the benefit of the Gillis +...

I think he does mean it. He literally left the Leafs alone last season until the Shana-canning. And it looks like he trusted Treliving and Berube* with the wheel early this season until the 18-wheeler had already flipped 3 times down the cliff. * it's been mentioned somewhere** that Pelley is a...

Sportsnet (i.e. Rogers) basically manufacturing consent at this point Pelley reportedly spoke to internal staff and external parties prior to the Treliving firing to assess what was happening (since he clearly wasn't paying attention until like January); at least one of them was John Chayka in...

The prevailing theory is that the HOHO has basically been selected already (on paper, not publicized) and has been taking an active role in the ongoing recruitment/selection through the search firm, which would be an efficient use of a process already in motion. Once they lock in on the various...

You know the drill

He won the Calder Cup in his first year as head coach with Abbottsford; never mind that they missed the playoffs this year as the Canucks imploded and pulled every non-injured player up.

Friedman said this week is in-person follow-ups for the interviews (so rd 3?) where I'm sure they're getting the tour of the facilities and getting implicitly assessed by office staff (who was nice to the office admins and sanitation crew?). Gillis has already met with the Leafs at least 3 times.

Oh hello

Yeah, that's the sketch of it. Sundin would be like Spezza/Doan, and I'm guessing they're just using the existing search process to figure out the GM position.

Seravelli is hinting that the decision is probably landing by the end of this week (NHL has often asked teams to hold off on certain announcements during league events; i.e. playoffs kicking off), ahead of the original estimated timeframe of mid/end of May. Some non-mainstream people are...
