Phil Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Always made the most sense. Leafs actual GM is Brendan Shanahan. Treliving is a good corporate ladder rung who'll be happy to hold the title, but little of the actual power. Plus, if push comes to shove and they do opt to trade from the core, he's been involved in multiple "blow it up" type deals before with a Canadian team.

Prolly still have that job. Hiring Sutter was a dumb move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that on here so it must be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of that but that doesn't change the obvious malfunctioning that occurred thereafter involving that locker room and Huberdeau. Treliving could've fixed their issues and opted to leave the hated bench boss in place. Who cares anyways. We got bigger fish to fry on Broadway. Hopefully Drury doesn't shock the world and hire Sutter. Now that would be some off season fodder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that as though finding the "right coach" is just an easy process. It's not. Sutter coached most of that same team to 50 wins last season. He was the right coach until he wasn't anymore. If finding the right coach was so easy, the Rangers would've hired theirs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh; Huberdeau apparently wasn't the only one who didn't want to play for Sutter; rumors were multiple players were not on board with coming back next year for Sutter. https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/players_ready_to_leave_flames_if_darryl_sutter_remains_coach/s1_16454_38610477 I've been on hiring boards before and every application process, we had front runner candidates through out the process and finding the right candidate who fit the profile we were trying to fill actually wasn't that tough. The issues in Calgary were well known last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Shanahan just hired a puppet, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Cash or Czech said: Shanahan just hired a puppet, right? Yes, but this isn't evidence of that. He can't be at the draft table because Calgary won't allow him to since he was still technically under contract until the end of the NHL calendar. This was one of the stipulations for severing that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Shanahan (the real GM of the Leafs) just signed a new underling. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
