  1. not change for the sake of it, change to get us a cup, zero results, and ample time, tks fellas, also, burke tk you

  2. Kyper & overdrive 2 best toronto sports radio shows by far👍🏽
    Cant bring back the core 4, enough is enough. The bar is too low. The club culture is too soft

  3. Advice from Burke "Don't trade 2 unprotected 1st's for an underachiever like Phil the Thrill". That trade did me in as a Leaf fan – now Sabres and Sens fan. Brutal trade of all of their top picks year after year – "Draft Schmaft" comments says it all.

  4. Dubas said if he choose not to come back to Toronto he wouldn't pop up somewhere else. Well he didn't choose the Leafs fired him so take what you want Dubas.

  5. It it means so much being the GM of the Leafs, Dubas wouldn't have wanted to leave town. Having once been in business until I decided to retire in 2018, I learned long ago that if you were in a negotiation and wanted out, all you had to do is increase what you wanted until he other side said no way. Congratulations to Dubas and Spezza on choosing to leave. You're more than welcome to join FTL Nation.Our numbers grow after the yearly Leafs playoff disaster. PS told you folks before last season began that the moment the Leafs were eliminated, the Matthews deadline clock was running. If you thought you were overpaying at $11 million, just wait to see when he signs somewhere else after this season.

  6. Its means so much that every gm has failed since 1967. People are sick of hearing that old crap.

  7. Dubai was a foolish guy. He talked himself out of a dream job? Shanahan needs to be the President and GM until the draft is done and the core 4 are resolved.

  8. IF LEAFS WILL QUIT PLAYING HALL& OATES AFTER A GOAL, THEY WILL SCORE MORE OFTEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  9. Prediction: the team that wins the western conference wins the Cup. Why? The only playoff built team the Panthers played was Boston, and it went to seven and overtime. Canes and Leafs are great regular season teams, but aren’t built for the playoffs. The Panthers lack the depth and physicality necessary to beat Dallas/Vegas in the playoffs.

  10. TJ Brodie and Steeves to Montreal for Xhekaj and Luke Tuch
    Jarnkrok, Robertson and Liljegren for Greenway, 13th (draft Matthew Wood), 39th in 2023
    Draft Oliver Bonk or Dylan Mackinnon with the 28th pick.

  11. I wasn't a strong Dubas supporter but I was really happy with his deals at the trade deadline. Leafs ownership won't change bc there the most wealthiest team in the NHL. You can't blame the coaches nor the Gm or even alot of the players . There are obvious systemic issues. So many players ,coaches and managers have left and went on and had success elsewhere and we are still here with no cup and no playoff success for many years. Its all ownership. Its very very predictable with the leafs when sports outcomes are pretty random. You would think they would've went on a run by now. That said I think Shanahan should just be the GM intill they find the right guy. They shouldn't be forced into a decision.

  12. Kyper's got it. Dubas's request for autonomy is he is mad a few of his deals were nixxed by management. The "big defenseman" deal was reportedly for Karlsson. That would have been another financial anchor the Leafs can't manage. They are already strapped because of Tavares. We don't need another one of those big dollar players and the ownership group knew it, hence why they nixxed the deal.

  13. I saw it mentioned in the chat: Gary Roberts as coach for the Leafs. Wow. I'm not sure if Roberts has any experience or desire to coach, but I can guarantee you one thing; NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, takes a shift off. Roberts is an absolute beast. The Leafs could use a few Roberts type players on the ice too.

  14. As good a guy as Burky is I'm glad he's not GM of Toronto! Trade Nylander and he scores 50 and helps win a team a Stanley Cup! And Burky's support of Keefe is stupid! There should be more focus on Keefe being out coached every series! Because the real question is… how would the Leafs have done if the lines were stable! And it has been CLEAR for over 2 years that Nylander and Tavares DOESN'T WORK!!! PERIOD! And idiot keep putting together on the same line!
