    Devils fan here curious what a levelheaded opinion of this guy is from a Leafs fan. Although I think there are drawbacks, I certainly think he is the best available. Bottom line is that I am excited though

  3. Nobody wants our players: false

    Nobody wants our coaches: false

    Nobody wants our management: false

    It seems more and more like the Toronto Maple Leafs are just a shit stew with plenty of tasty bits mixed in. For fuck’s sake, someone pour out the stew and save those tasty bits and start a new batch before it’s too late.

  4. Keefe going to a team at the exact same developmental place he is seems perfect

    Was kinda bonkers they brought in young first timers to be coach and GM

    Tricky enough with Matthews and Marner getting the great Leafs hope put on them as teens

    All four of the main pillars of the team were inexperienced raw youngsters

    Unreal.

  5. Let’s trade Marner to them for Luke Hughes and Nico Hischier

    Am I ever happy for Sheldon. If the Leafs falter this season, I know who I’ll be cheering for. I’ve always been a Keefer fan and wish him huge success in New Jersey.

    Good man. Sheldon gave up his 2millx2 from the leafs contract and took this job.

    I’d say he’s a good pickup with what’s out there right now. He’ll be fine. He’ll help certain things with the team definitely. My main concern is he seems good at the basics but doesn’t seem to be able to effectively employ a system that really works. Or that seemed the case in Toronto (could be the personnel). Toronto won games due to the high end talent they had. They were loose and often sloppy systemically and employed systems that seemed easy to exploit. I don’t think Keefe made the team worse than any other average coach would have but I don’t think he did better either. He basically performed exactly how you’d expect his team to perform with the players on it every year in the season. He never had a season where they seemed to punch above their weight and be better than a sum of its individual parts ever and that’s why the couldn’t do it in the playoffs IMO.

    I wonder if he’ll bring Chenowyth with him.
