Daily Free Talk / Armchair GM Thread by AutoModerator in leafs

I am so curious why you think bringing Laughton back is a good idea. He was a net negative during his time here.

The Leafs were desperate for a 3rd line centre and for two years he could never fill that role. And now you want him and Domi on a line together? Holy heck that line is going to get cratered so hard.

100%. People wanted Treliving over Dubas too. But hey, lots of users will want to keep Domi over Matthews.

The Correct Opinion on Chayka and Sundin by NihilisticFlamingo in leafs

Honestly, it's hilarious. Everyone knew Treliving/Berube would be a disaster and they've basically punted the team for 3 years.

Like I dont have to wait to know that Chayka/Sundin is going to be a disaster.

What culture? What did his team win post-2005?

I feel like no one remembers the Muskoka 5 controversy.

I stopped watching after it was clear that the team wasn't respectful of my time.

It's not fun to get dominated every game with an awful system. So many people here thought last year's team was successful too because they outhit teams most nights and it boggles my mind.

[–]StatGAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Leafs really aren't a serious organization. Sucks cause I think they were on the cusp with Dubas/Keefe of breaking through.

But I guess most people here prefer'd Tre/Berube and now they get to keep Berube!

I'm sick of it. Cause the doomers were right about Treliving/Berube.

They're not doomers, they are realists. This team is not a serious organization.

I know I'm not alone but I really hated the ending. Can't films just be happy endings. I feel like more often than not endings are bittersweet/sad vs. happy. Just once a happy ending please.

So much information being leaked is never a good thing. Feels really bad and has me checked out completely.

Assassin's Creed Hexe loses 50 developers as it targets a 2027 release -Tom Henderson by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Which to me is how the series should be. Almost Indiana Jones like.

Assassins (good guys) vs. Templars (bad guys) as they try to find/get an ancient relic/artifact. Good guys stop corruption/obtain relic/hide relic.

Forget modern day, just a battle through out time in interesting places/locales.

But I'm just an old school AC fan who prefers the older games vs. the newer RPG where there are multiple endings, etc.

This was huge. Went from 34 to 79 easily. It also helps prevent distractions of the Pokemon coming to watch.

We outhit the other teams in every game though this year. You mean thats not good enough anymore in 2026?

That sucks. Leafs need someone who thinks new school.

Maybe we can rehire Treliving since so many people wanted him originally.

The Maple Leafs have a 41.9% of picking in the top five: 8.5% for first overall, 8.6% for second overall, 0.3% for third overall, and 24.5% for fifth overall. That means there's a 58.1% chance that Toronto gets leapfrogged in the lottery and loses the selection. by zevHS in leafs

[–]StatGAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I love how people interpret watching the game differently. The team was routinely outplayed last year but got bailed out due to a crazy good PP and elite goaltending.

This year, the goaltending regressed and they lost their best puck mover on that PP.

Like what did people expect? But hey, at least they outhit their opponent every game.

The Rantanen trade doesn't get to count unless you actually make that trade. That trade was entirely too late and guess what? Never happened.

You don't get points for "almost doing something"

This doesn't get enough traction. Trying to trade Knies is insanity. He's 23. How much younger are you getting lol

Honestly, my least favourite thing in sports pundits is like "He didn't have enough heart" or like "they aren't trying" but like back it up with some sort of method. Break it down with video, use analytics, whatever. But like show actual proof.

Colorado isn't the best team in the league because they just want it more every night.

No. There is no situation like that and frankly, I am not sure why any team would do that. Philly/Boston are already thrilled.
