The Leafs haven't had a bonafide goaltender since Belfour. That is the key. They haven't had a great defensive pairing since Kaberle and McCabe. John Ferguson Sr. screwed the WPG Jets, just like his son screwed the Leafs twenty years ago. It has taken this long to recover. I am very interested to see what the Leafs goaltending will be like this year and if Tanev and Rielly gel I think the Leafs can seriously make a run for the cup. We need McCann, Robertson, Knies and Domi to take some of the heat off the core 4. Let's hope Berube can out coach other teams come playoff time because Keefe and his one dimensional approach was atrocious over his tenure despite his winning record during the regular season.

Well, they drafted Tuukka Rask and then traded him for a nobody. Tuukka who I'm pretty was the backup for bostons cup in 2011 but overall had a pretty legit career and made the finals in 2013 and 2019. Much better then any goalie the leafs had in the last 15 years

I think the fans are sleeping on that Tanev signing he is one of the best one on one shutdown playoff defence men maybe the best. Watch him against Mackinnon last year.

If this team isn’t good enough to use the assets than what are we doing. You either are going for(the cup) it or rebuilding. When you have a guy like Matthews yes it is a win now team

Shanahan rating ZZZZZZZ is there a lower letter possible? The stupidest part is to NOT trade players because the value in trade was not there so we just lose for 6 years lol. Shanahan is a wizard to still have a job after this garbage! Run it back 6.0 will NOT work!

I had big hopes for Wellwood, but the team was already in a downward spiral by then. Remember when the Leafs franchise didn't re-sign Sundin? Why on the green earth they let him retire a Canuck is beyond belief 🥺

As soon as treliving re-signed Nylander I knew the Leafs are going no where, Nylander player better till he re-signed and than disappeared!! He's being paid more than any of the Florida Panthers and there's no WAY he will play as hard in the playoffs as the stars on the Panthers! Can you see Nylander diving in front of shots, hitting, be hard on the puck and his man the way Tkachuk ,Reinhart, Bennett, Verhaeghe or Barkov? No way! They should have never re-signed that soft POS! Same with Marner. Waching Nylander play HOW IN THE F*&*&^* didn't Treliving see these things?

Honestly the Chucky trade isn't as much a loss as people say it is. Top 6 forward top 4 D-man pretty young for a player that couldn't do fk all in the playoffs on your team as well as didn't want to be there. Chucky wasn't gonna do that on Calgary at any point ever. You can't get much more then Tree did for him in that situation.
