Depends if strome is available at 4 :>
Who knows how much you can rely on it but all the Coyotes fans on HF accept the words of this one "insider" who has apparently been calling Coyotes moves for a long time, I'm guessing stuff like draft, re-signings and stuff like that.
He said that the Coyotes are 100% taking Strome.
Who knows!
Looks like they're turning their attention to the RFAs now
Oh shiz, I forgot all about that from a few weeks ago and IIRC it was a radio host that said it? I guess we'll see.
Not sure who it was, just saw a mention of it in a prospect thread.
I expect they'll take Strome anyway because you need big centres in the west.
Kinda unfortunate though, Strome has been promoting how big of a leafs fan he is for a while now.

I could see them taking Strome just because they already have a couple 'under-sized' forwards in their prospect pool in Dvorak and Domi. Adding a skilled. 2-way C with size is what I would want/expect the Leafs to do in their situation.
Franson playing the market right, says Vancouver an 'intriguing' choice. Go away Franson
Awesome. Leafs fans haven't had true cult worshipping regardless of results since Burke. :')
Well..
- Replacing Carlyle with Babcock
- Willing to accept new ideas re: analytics
- Cleaned house on old scouting and development staff
Is a decent start
At least, you get the impression they aren't a management group that would give a guy like Lucas Sbisa a 3.6mil 3-year contract extension.

...yes I know that was the old guard + Shanahan but still

Easy, son. Take my joke in context. I'm talking about the fans, not the organization
I wish the Canucks org was as committed to sucking as the Leafs. I really do
The pick itself is amazing and I'm very jealous. Once you start getting hyped about the suits appearing on a stage together, it's ripe for jokesSoc pls let me be excited for a moment.

Yeah I think Leafs choice is between Marner and Hanifin as Yotes will most likely take Strome. Either one is probably a great selection.
Can't be worse than Sbisa... Please ship him out. Replace him with Franson for all I care.
Franson's gonna be more expensive than Sbisa though... and we're pretty set on defense with Utica guys coming up
Who do you expect to come up next season
Corrado and Clendening have real shots at the team, for starters
Biega wasn't terrible the few games he played, either

I really wonder if he would be getting these interviews had Horachek not been such an unmitigated disaster of a h/c.

Team Bald acquiring a new bottom sixer!
I really hope we trade Hamhuis. Keep Bieksa to go down with the ship and tutor the young guys, but get a good return for Hamhuis.
My concern is your ownership, impression I get from them is that they are not down with losing, so can't see them going into intentional "be bad/rebuild" mode, which the Canucks will need soon.

FUCK.
He is sure as hell not coming back to Montreal.
We have enough jobbers here in the first place
The fuck
Trade Bieksa for anything, Hamhuis would need to get a REAL good return for me to be happy with him gone and I don't see that happening. Bieksa isn't worth his money and had a baaaad season
Trade Burrows too
Wait, why does a team still get a draft pick after firing someone?
Because coaches and GMs and other such staff are employed on a contract basis. This means that essentially, when it says fired, it really means "relieved of duties". They are still under contract, and could be technically brought back to work, or on duty.
Its still incredibly dumb but I believe that is their reasoning, I mean it never happens so its really dumb.
Believe me, I know this. I complain about it quite often. They don't have bottomless pockets or a local pop of 6 million so they're (overly) concerned about remaining competitive and retaining seasons ticket holders.
This team is years out of being a possible contender, wouldn't you agree? So why would you keep the players who are old and have actual value? Milquetoast for Matthews.
Toronto's new strategy, hire every available coach for 10 years and fire them.
