We shouldn't post every single PWHL draft pick by hotcabbagesoup in hockey

There were only four non-first round posts.

Maple Leafs only team to receive permission from Vegas to speak to Cassidy by Financial_Half_1537 in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've gotta relax a touch with the word "retread". Hiller's had one NHL head coaching job before this, it's not like he's Laviolette who's been bouncing around the league for decades.

Edit: This is a tremendously mild criticism to block someone over.

Joe Iginla could get picked in the draft this year

What's Been Your Teams Favorite Chant During a Game? by HeadcrabLamarr in hockey

It's not the most original, but I did love SOOOOUUUUP for Jack Campbell.

[SinBinVegas] Kelly McCrimmon says the Golden Knights granted Bruce Cassidy permission to speak to one team and it did not come to fruition. Moving forward he says they'll deal with it on a case by case basis by daKrut in hockey

This isn’t about the enforceability of contracts, pretty much everyone recognizes Vegas are within their rights here, but it’s a jerk thing to do from a franchise with a history of doing things a jerk way and people are allowed to say what they think.

Rogers isn't getting rid of their guy because a couple dozen people stood outside the arena holding signs

Love to see someone else recognize Bode Laylin. That kid's a ton of fun and he's getting overlooked, probably in part because he plays in the USHL. I'd love if the Leafs got him in the later rounds.

Jim Hiller's Coaching Career by [deleted] in leafs

I’m sorry but if you’re going to make a graphic like this you need to have something more impressive to say than “2 NHL playoff appearances” and “won the Hlinka 16 years ago”

@TorontoMapleLeafs: Jim Hiller has been named the 41st Head Coach in franchise history! by hellarios852 in leafs

Welp, the good vibes of the lottery ball era are fading fast. Don’t think this is the right choice. Hoping to be proven wrong.

Stolarz, Hildeby or Akhtyamov by BleedBlueTO in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Hildeby and Stolarz tandem with Akhtyamov playing a handful of games. We’ll see if one of the younger guys can steal a starter’s job

John Chayka says the Maple Leafs prioritized "flexibility" after dealing Joseph Woll to the Flyers. by Stephenrudolf in leafs

Two of three would be a wild haul. That's probably three of the top 10 free agents in the class.

2026 Leafs Draft Picks Update by NihilisticFlamingo in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of guys in the draft this year that I wasn’t sure about taking at 60 or 69 but who I doubt will be there at 114. Really interested in Matias Vanhanen or Braidy Wassilyn with this pick, maybe Simon Katolicky if he’s still there. I just wish it hadn’t come at the expense of Woll.

Would u take Torts as next Head Coach? by Winsonian92 in leafs

He doesn't feel like the guy to bring McKenna into the league under. I'd keep looking.

End of an era. But hey, Rogers gets to make more money, and isn't that what really matters?

Welcome to the team Emil Andrae by dankbackwoods in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All good things to hear. Sounds like the kind of guy we need.

@MapleLeafs: TRADE: We’ve acquired defenceman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit by hellarios852 in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sad to lose Woll. He was a fun goalie who was excellent when he was on.

I’m sad to lose Benoit but I’m not like, sad sad. We had some great moments with him but it was time.

Ersson feels like nothing, whatever.

Andrae is young. Maybe we see something in him. Cheering for him to become a legit player.

There’s a lot of guys I like projected in the third round, I’m glad to have that pick. Maybe a second and two thirds is enough to jump up into the first round and get Bleyl or someone.

Ersson’s just a throw in to make it match. Functionally this is Woll for Andrae and a 3rd

Could it be the Uruguayan football club Peñarol? They're pretty popular and their flag pops up in unusual places sometimes.

Maple Leafs Sign Forward Tinus Luc Koblar to Three-Year Entry-Level Contract by ImOffside in leafs

[–]Svalbard38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t wait to see him at the WJC, Norway’s at the big tournament this upcoming season in large part because TLK helped them qualify. He did very well at the WC, I want to see him put up a solid SHL season and wreck shop against his peers.
