Dolfan in NYC 13,540 Posted April 12, 2015 This is for members of the NHL in the Connor McDavid sweepstakes. The rest of you with your "good" teams can go screw. Yeah, he could be doing this for your team, a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oyaji 8,027 Posted April 12, 2015 Nonis is awful and I would think could only hope for assistant GM jobs in the future. Just awful. Step 1 in fixing Toronto's shitbumminess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew 5 Posted April 12, 2015 In terms of righting the wrongs of the previous regime this has actually been a great year for the Leafs. We're gonna get a good draft pick to go with Rielly, Nylander and Kadri so there's some potential at least going forward plus we've rid ourselves of the management/coaching staff who got us in this mess. Gonna be a newsworthy summer by the looks of it, just hope it doesn't end up like 2013 did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He basically bought himself some extra time with his lame duck coach and GM over the past two seasons. Now he actually has to do something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyaji 8,027 Posted April 12, 2015 It'll have to come outside of free agency because this is the weakest class in recent memory. Mike Ribeiro tops SportsNet's list of the top 15 free agents, hah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,383 Posted April 13, 2015 GM designs a team with the sole purpose of losing as many games as possible, then fires the coach for losing despite being far more competitive than they had any right to be. Makes all the fucking sense in the world to me. Now we'll hire some wunderkid who will end up bombing spectacularly just like the guy we had before Nolan.

Death From Above 3,868 Posted April 13, 2015 It's not even so much that they did this that bothers me as it is that the GM stood up there and said with a straight face they didn't go out of their way to lose and expected the team to be competitive, when it's "Peyton Manning got injured and the Colts see no reason to get a real QB for the rest of the year because it's the Luck/RG III draft" levels of obvious what's going on here. Interesting that the Leafs clean house (clearly had this ready to go the moment Carlyle was fired), and the Oilers are doing... well, whatever it is the Oilers have been doing the last few years. Whole bunch of different directions poop can go on display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
