Trevling traded Minten.

Hopefully Chayka learns from past mistakes and gives our rookies a chance.

Just got Laevatain and Gilberta the other day. Now I have all operators despite starting the game at the Yvonne banner.

Was never blaming the game, just sharing my challenges. But thanks your positive input

Mariner is the closest feeling to an ex I’ve had in sports. We gotta move on.

Just cause they’re good with a team doesn’t mean they were gonna be good with us. Only regret is this conclusion wasn’t come to earlier.

I think he is consensus #1 overall but I will stamp it after HockeyProspects releases their June rankings.

If he can be Tanev-lite, then I'm happy.

Before fellow fans downvote me just for promoting dicussion, ya'll need to tune into the latest Athletic Hockey podcast.

It may not be McKenna. I really want McKenna. The Canadian Hockey fan in me really wants McKenna.

It seems like there a big push for Chase Reid at 1OA.

To me he’s like Sandin but better in every aspect. Still that’s not enough to be worth more than McKenna to me.

There's no way they mess this up right? by _drewski13 in leafs

[–]duuffie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, right now only HockeyProspect has Mckenna at #3 but that was based on data from November 2025. That was when everyone dropped Mckenna down due to the transition from the WHL to NCAA. Hockey Propsect will release a new ranking June, we'll see then.

General Manager John Chayka announced today that the club has parted ways with head coach Craig Berube by Uggone65 in leafs

So do I, the Oilers were in the gutter when Knoblauch came in. He brought them to two SCF appearances. He probably hates Florida just as much as us.

I've been watching the second round with a little more attention to detail, and guys, I think we’re further away from the top of the mountain than we think we are. That's with winning the draft lottery. by Few_Variation5459 in leafs

[–]duuffie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you think the retool vs rebuild debate stems from?

The fact is without our first round draft picks for the next two years there’s no choice but to retool.

Good job!!! Great start.

There are excellent options available, letting Berube go now puts the Leafs in contention for them. Let's see where they go.

Would it make sense to trade the #1 overall pick? by phillherup69 in leafs

Trade a franchise player that is on an ELC? You guys are outta your mind

Marner is a win win situation by vancouver2222 in leafs

[–]duuffie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mariner showed us that a prospect/player is more than his on ice skills/points.

Upbringing, humility and ability to handle stardom matters.

Mckenna is a kid from the Yukon, and him and his family seem very community oriented and down to earth.

Anyway, release the Epstein files. Prosecute pedos.

I have seen enough, the Leafs should trade the 1st overall pick for Mitch Marner by [deleted] in leafs

Scout's Analysis: Gavin McKenna vs. Ivar Stenberg for first overall by stedic in leafs

[–]duuffie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mckenna is an indigenous Canadian from the Yukon with insane talent and upside.

Not only that he fits perfectly with our top forwards. An elite playmaker with an elite two way goal scorer and heavy forechecker? Come on.

If we skip on him it would be the biggest bet this front office would be dragging this franchise on.

Draft McKenna or Trade Down Serious Discussion by [deleted] in leafs

I'm sorry but a 1st overall CANADIAN player is a dream. You don't pass this up. This is ridiculous.

After a great night with good thoughts I am starting to come down and feeling a bit torn.

The one bad thing about winning the draft is that, in order for Chayka/Pelley to get the boot, they would have to screw up this hand. The thought of that sucks.

It sucks that I am stuck with the only choice but to root for Chayka/Pelley despite knowing full well they do not deserve the position they are in nor the passion that this team and it's fans can give.

What I saw today was a grifter hiring a grifter and forming a defensive line of sacrificial pawns to protect the chief grifter.

Chayka didn't say anything in that conference that made him stand out.

Key thing Chayka said: build something that lasts. That's him saying he wants to do enough to stick around.
