Sounds to me like he was told to tank, and he's tanked. He inherited a busted ass situation from Bowman and has hard tanked since being given the job. They took on a bunch of bad salary for assets and are starting to build up a pretty serious base of young NHL calibre players. The bad salary starts coming off of the books this summer, with almost 20 million of it coming off next summer.

This is just what a proper, unapologetic tank looks like.

Like he's been lauded for his farm system.

It's hard to believe he can be a genius at doing that but so terrible at building an NHL roster. He's certainly been conservative in adding to the big league club, but this is assuredly a designed tank and i think an extension is warranted.
 
Welp…so much for the dump truck full of money Ed Rogers was allegedly going to be willing to spend.

Out of the remaining names left that have been publicly linked to the Leafs, Gillis is probably the only one I could live with.

But I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll be Chayka. He might be a shitty fake nerd with a horrible track record, but he can probably talk the talk well enough to sell Pelley. And doesn’t have the leverage to demand 100% control, so Pelley will still be free to bring him ChatGPT trade suggestions whenever he feels like it.
 
Gotta think Gillis is among the finalists if he truly has been given 3 interviews. Feels like there's still a good chance Pelley fucks this up though.
