Dubas performance was garbage
Nylander can go
Steve taking a 1 year contract and betting on himself. #SDPN Sports
The Shanaplan will be something dug up at an ancient site, by archealogists, saying something along the lines of : "This was something people actually believed…"
The "Core Four" is simply a sign of capitalism at it's best: More money, same result…These guys will chase dollars, not loyalty.
I love this team but it may as well, at this stage, be 2013 all over again.
Prepare yourselves for Scorched Earth 2.0-cause that's the only way this changes, at this point.
Brendan Shanaplan needs to go- or there will be more of the same shit.
With the out of Kerf, ROR, Acciari, Schenn, Gustafsson and Holl we get Reaves and Klinger in w/$440k of cap space left and two overpaid players looking to resign… GMs got some work to do. Gio getting old and Brods getting up there as well isn't looking good. The bottom 6 fwds are decimated. Good luck!
Reeves isn't going to change the Leafs culture. The only thing that does that is trading one of the soft forwards making big money for a guy with a temper. EG Nylander for JT Miller but neither party was bright enough to do that
Something interesting I heard recently: "if you're getting pushed around in the NHL today, score on the powerplay when they take a penalty."
I thought we were waaaaaaaaaaaaaay past this "toughness problem" dialog. C'mon buddy. Enough of this bullshit.
You cannot beat the Red Wing's free agency for underwhelming and concerning additions. At high cost!
All we can be excited about is the defenseman drafted with our second 1st round pick (17th overall). Our 9th pick will probably be a bottom six center that is responsible but not particularly good at anything. Many are starting to doubt the Yzerplan.
Who would have thought the guy that left a mess in Calgary would already screw up the Leafs

Imagine Reaves and Simmons on the ice at the same time. Bash brothers?
nice shirt Steve
Not looking good but itās early. We canāt keep the same 4 guys every year. They canāt stick up for each other so get a scorer with grit. Go get hanifin. Buyout Brodie and Murray. Go get more defense and power forwards. If not book the tee time already
I truly believe this is not a reflection of The New GM and his performance as the GM of The Leafs..
I am convinced these are the only players TORONTO can attract at this time.
There are 31 other teams to choose from… why would anyone in their right mind come to Hockey Death Valley?
Of course unless… this is the ONLY team you could go to…
You want to make a Leaf's fan cry two words: sixty-seven ?
Going to be such a leafās moment when this team does the best ever and makes it to the ECF.
Itāll be on the backs of John klingberg
I knew a Leaf fan in the 1990"s who was in his sixties. He told his wife when he dies he wants to be buried in his Leafs sweater so he could be let down one more time. Unfortunately, he has passed away and got his wish. Looks like if he passed away this season he would also get his wish. So sad. I am 70 years old and I am worried that I will have the similar fate!
I donāt believe theyāll make the playoffs this year. The last five weeks can be summed up with one wordā¦impotent.
No one gives a crap about Reaves. There's a reason why everyone moves on from him after a year or two. Two teams even moved on and won the cup.
The Reaves addition is great for the room and the character. But 3 years at this age, oof. Feels like a Simmonds ending all over again
Day One of the Shana-plan Treliving Era and I am reaching for the medicine cabinet and a sharp Sgian Dhu. Resigning Schen, Acciari and O Reilly I thought would be no brainers. Agree with Steve, Leafs got way worse.
Nylander deserves 10m. Best and most notable forward in the playoffs for the Leafs. Watch the games again, he was dangerous whenever he got the puck.
For all those people raging on the new GM lol it is obvious as the nose on your face it isnt the GM it is Shannahan that should have been fired!
…55, 56, 57 years!?!?
One thing is for sure Matthews is getting paid big bucks
Punished Dangle
I can see my Flyers winning a Stanley Cup before Leafs do and that is saying a lot
I usually agree with Steve, but these are all L takes.
Scarborough Bluffs Forever !
Hey Leafs Fans, We will trade You EK65 for Nylander.
BT strikes again, didn't know you were watching since 1920 stevie
i think every single thing steve said in this video is wrong i like his videos but some takes are just awful
I'm a bruins fan. I feel better after watching this video.
If I didnāt know any better I would have assumed Dubas was still GM with these first day transactions
Toronto sports not doing great last two days. What a waste of cap space.
treliving and yzerman battling it out to see who can be the most out of touch and awful in free agency
Every contending team is worse July 1 than at the start of the playoffs. Teams load up at the deadline.
Dubas wtf
What are you going to get if you lose one of the 4.
Nylander asking for double digits hahahaha. Maybe if he tried playing defense he could ask for double digits but he doesn't even skate back to his own end.
Reeves is untalented trash goon and will always be so.
Everyone seems to be totally overrating Nylander….nothing close to $10M….maybe close to $7.5….he is not a top 10 player in the NHL….Tage Thompson makes arpund $7.5…Tage is a better player at this point
Schenn, acciari, oriely, bunting together were let go for less than Mathews is gonna cost. Dumbness beyond belief.
