The Official Post-Bitch 2025-26 Regular Season Thread

I think we know what his fate will be. It's a good sign that Pelley hasn't gotten involved in the coaching stuff, not a bad sign imo. We really really don't want that, no matter how obvious the berube decision may be.

Now Treliving not firing him earlier on... I have no fucking explanation for that.

I don’t see how anyone can come in and not make a coaching change. Like what are you looking at from the outside? What part of the season tape do you see that invokes any confidence in Berube? As a new Pres/GM how do you waste another prime year of Matthews, Nylander, Tavares?

If they hire some useless tit GM to be a puppet for Pelley I’ll be calling it quits. Keeping Berube would be unacceptable. I’m already too busy with life to give a shit about a team that just can’t be taken seriously.
 
..except that Berube's role was "elevated" after Shanny was fired. Berube's finger-prints were all over this roster as well.
 
The bull case for Berube gone is that the top players in the organization clearly can't stand him and have no interest in the status quo here.

If we tear it down to the studs with a new, non dinosaur ass approach for a fucking change, we might stop being known idiots for long enough to build a winner.

This is the hope right now. New "data centric" approach being driven from the tippy top of the org chart, hockey ops leadership who actually believes in it is the next step, and them being bold enough to punt on employees further down the org chart who are obstructionist towards that.

The bull case right now is that Pelley made all of the right noises in his press conference, and that everything that we "know" since then has been either filtered through, or made up by our idiot media.

That’s really the main hope right now. That all the media reporting on who’s being interviewed and who’s the front runner is being made up out of whole cloth.

Again though, that was the same hope I was leaning on the whole time Treliving was being reported as a candidate/front-runner…

To devils advocate that, it's pretty clear that Treliving was the source of those rumours before he was hired. We went from an organization whose instagram page broke 95% of team news for years, to a leaky as fuck ship under Treliving. He was so incompetent on so many fucking levels, and appears to have purely been a Shanahan hire that I'm willing to believe that Pelley and his corpo agent driven search process is going to be a lot tighter than Shanny calling two shitty execs and deciding between the two of them. I mean, in support of that is that Shanny did only call two dudes, and we only found out about the second one like a week ago. The organization kept Bergevin quiet.

Well, I hope you’re right, and I hope all the reporting on the Frosty Fuckwit comes down to him trying to manifest his way from a Wendy’s deep fryer back into an NHL front office by telling anyone who’ll listen that he’s the front-runner for the Leaf job.

Oh, if we hire Chayka I go from cautiously optimistic to:

A+ way with words.

I want to see a hire that pushes Pelley further away from ever speaking to the public again.
 
So glad the #peskysens get swept by Freddie Anderson.

Watching Dallas and Minnesota play, makes me want the Dallas AGM White.

I think the way they play can be something the leafs play like with a new coach, system, and players.
He might be able to pull Jason Robertson as an RFA to play with his brother and fellow american Auston Matthews.

Knies Matthews J Rob
Or JRob, Papi, NRob
Sign Tuch if you can to be 1RW with Matthews should Robertson not happen via trade.
Sign Jack Roslovic
Sign Laughton for 3C with Cowen and possibly JT on LW
Trade Reilly for younger D or not and a pick
Sign Raddyish and take a chance on De'angelo
I also sign Corey Perry for one year.

More realistic... (but maybe Jason robertson could be had)

Knies Matthews Tuch
NRob Roslovic Willy
JT Laughton Cowen
Lorentz Mcarron Perry

Some combo of Raddyish, DeAngelo, Mcabe, Tanev, OEL maybe get Connor Murphy to play with Mcabe when Tanev can't
 
They may pull off a dopier looking face than Tre. Honestly didn't think it was possible and you have to tip their cap to them. They're obviously just trolling us at this point. Wayne Gretzky of trolling
