The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

He's not good enough offensively to make the rest of his game worth keeping.

He loses games for you more than he wins games for you.

But we're stuck with him for two more years, as gross as that is. Apart from the Sundin-Tie thing, I think Matthews likes him and his general douche goon nature.
 
Thank fuck he was an unorganized clown.
I will never get over how this guy got this job in this day and age, after what happened in Calgary and all of his moves under a microscope.

I don't recall any Leafs GM in our lifetimes ever being so entirely useless and destructive. Unbelievable luck that his reign of terror actually resulted in very little to no irreversible damage going forward, and a first overall pick and a ton of capspace. There was just the Marner fiasco, but without it, there's no way we finished where we did to get McKenna. Irrespective of Marner's playoffs right now (against bad teams and about to get crushed, I think), we are the luckiest fuckers ever on this one, and I only hope it's the beginning of some great things.

Having Mats there gives me a quiet confidence that maybe my favorite Leaf ever will help us get a Cup that he didn't get the chance to get himself.
