Epic failure to keep Keefe. Make it make sense.
Dude better get to work in a hurry clock is ticking. Holy shit he’s got his work cut out for him.
A new, brighter era begins.
Gross
what a lackluster finality to this unnecessary drama.
He must have agreed to just let the board make all the decisions. Shanahan gets a pass? I think we are going to have to suffer some more for that to be accepted.
Time to start Tre Leafing in Brad Treliving. Seems like Keefe is sticking around as HC as well because surprisingly Shanahan believes that Keefe is the man for the job and the GMs they were interviewing thought the same. I’m unsure as to whether Treliving can make this team better than it was this year or in years prior but I do think that this might be a good hire despite the circumstances but Treliving should be judged on what he does from here on out and not from his past in Calgary. If Treliving is allowed to do what he needs to do and not have ownership or anything get in his way, I can see this going well. If not, then we are definitely in trouble and will be headed to a rebuild in no time
And so ends the reign of interim GM Pridham.
Why are people so bummed about this? Dude actually did a good job in calgery considering how hard it is to get people to sign and stay in calgery. Think about it. Lets not forget Dubas made a boatload of mistakes himself…. Kadri was a disaster of a trade…. Choosing to keep holl over keeping Jared Mccan… and the malgin for marchment….. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF.
Really not a good sign that the guy involved in sending Gretzky to LA is gonna be our GM.
Zero faith in this organization anymore.
Most progression and modern day GM couldn’t get it done after an entire franchise overhaul by Leiweke. Most talented roster assembled in…maybe ever and couldn’t get it done.
Everything falls apart at the 11th hour and they rush to get a replacement (we now know as Treliving) who has a ***ton*** of stuff to get done
This is the most mid decision ever lol
I’m hearing that as part of his contract Scotiabank Arena to be renamed Boston Pizza Place.
I’m in “lmk when it’s playoffs” mode already
Well, he had practice trading Tkatchuk. Let’s see what he can get for Matthews.
Cue the matthews and marner Boston pizza ad campaign and national partnership to help those contract negotiations.
This is all so fucking dumb
Meh…..
Uh-oh! Get set for Nick Ritchie hockey. First move – Nylander for Milan Lucic. The man has made more bad moves than Peter Chiarelli.
I’m done
Seems pretty clear that Shanahan granted info to “insiders” for more favorable coverage. This is the most noise around this team in ages.
So how long until Keefe is fired?
Nothing is really going to change here. You can’t move on from the core 4 unless you want to rebuild. I don’t think anyone In that front office wants to do that
Out of the flame and into the fryer. Let’s fuckin go
Has there ever been a GM brought into Toronto with literally 0 honeymoon period and really noone that excited about? .
