The core 4 era was such a disaster. Shanny never gave these guys the help they need and threw them under the bus after every season. Matthews getting to play in best on best himself, and seeing Mitchy shine away for a real org is not doing us any favour either. Chayka needs to right the ship...

It started before him too.

Even if thats all he is, you can't tell me scoring isn't the most important thing in hockey. not scoring is why we lost in the first round 9 years in a row.

99% star probabilities ppg at NHL level Mcdavid - 1.56 Celebrini - 1.17 Matthews - 1.13 Hughes - .99 Tavares - 0.94 Bedard - 0.93 There is a range of eliteness obviously. But even if McKenna is at the bottom, he is basically a guaranteed ppg player. I don't think he is at the bottom though...

All those guys with 99% star probability had multiple years of elite production, not one. If a player like McKenna is a top player (historically) in every season at every level it always transfers to the NHL.

And that also frustrated Dubas btw. He tried to get to report the board directly as a last minute demand which is why Shanny fired him.

Right but they both bring different expertise. Its not a president of hockey ops and then a GM that is also the head of hockey ops stuff. Which is the point. Its not about spending.

I think its clear that Rogers wanted to eliminate some of the superfluous positions. We saw that with Shanny, and the 6 AGMs have been talked about ad nauseum. But that doesn't mean they are cutting spending. They just think the organization was built poorly and was operating poorly. And...

The only thing Chayka has actually said about his plan is he has to fix the D. He’s not bringing back the exact same D

In fairness, I would want out after Tre/Berube too. The nerd will fix it.

Binging his WHL highlights and McKenna was literally bouncing pucks off teammates into the net like that one kid still playing house league because rep hasn’t started yet with a 3 goal cap.

Those a1/60 are fucking nuts. Celebrini was 9th in the NHL with 5v5 a1/60 this year and had 70 assists

Chayka is going to spend several hours sitting down talking to Berube about his views of how the team should play and the value of analytics and spots science. He gone. Hell he might quit after that.

Friedman “people who interviewed said the Leafs did not say Berube has to be back…the data says the leafs were a bad team.”

i like that he thinks the number 1 pick is never traded because the teams picking 5 don’t want to move up. It’s the opposite idiot. No one is trading McKenna for Malhotra to get more picks.

They didn’t trade him for a 4th line C.
