I'm leaning towards a lot of problems with the team in the playoffs being resolved via coaching staff. I think Keefe needs to be more assertive and his assistants need to be replaced with more direct and experienced coaches. Don't get me wrong, I like Keefe, but these playoffs showed he trusts the top guys too much and doesn't want to be hard on him.

This is one of the best rosters the franchise has never had and it doesn't get there without the four forwards. A lot of teams would be in trouble of one of their top players was taken out after 10 minutes and the other two took a nap, this isn't a problem unique to Toronto. Rearrange the roster anyway you like the but the problems need to be addressed within the organization.

I think you're misunderstanding the problem. Other teams know how to shut down Matthews + Marner and their depth isn't strong enough to cover up for it. (Montreal also shut down Winnipeg's top line, it's not a coincidence). But yeah, Dubas has no idea how to actually build a team. He's trying to slap players together and hoping it sticks.

Back to Marner + Matthews, you either blame them or Keefe, Keefe simply got outcoached in the first round. He showed no attempt at line matching and got beat everywhere because of it.

the **** are you smoking

Dubas built a strong team

If Marner and Matthews put even just 25% more effort they would have won the series.


literally 2 once in a lifetime turnovers gave Mtl the win in the series. Leafs came back Twice from multi goal deficits with minimal effort to force OT twice. Leafs lost the series to themselves nothing more nothing less

MTL got lucky Wpg decided not to show up as reality is that team if they got serious would have won easily.

Doesn't matter as long as **** overpays like he usually does

Dubas has not overpaid for anyone in the last 2 offseason's lul

The only guy overpaid rn is marner and its only by a Mill

If Marner and Matthews put even just 25% more effort and Muzzin did not get hurt half way through game 6 they would have won that game.

It doesn't matter how much effort Matthews + Marner put in, when you have an elite defensive line, nobody is scoring. Sorry you don't understand that.

Hell yes please overvalue Danault. Absolutely hilarious that one of the things your fanbase got out of the series is that this guy is worth like 7 million dollars.

Him and Price have been our two MVP's. Without him we'd be golfing right now.

Hockey is about hot streaks, and Danault has been as good as ever in these playoffs. He shutdown Matthews and Marner that's not a question if you had put Danault against someone else and thrown on Suzuki vs Matthews I bet your heros would have done better, not saying Danault is worth 7m but if he got paid only for his defensive performance this playoffs someone probably would pay him that.

Danault is not worth 7mil, if that's his ask, he's gone, i'd give him max 6mil and that would be on a short term deal long term max 5.5

Hey guys, starting today (june 8th), I'll be asking you guys 2 daily questions, I'd like it if some of you could do the same. I think it could lead to interesting discussions. They don't necessarily have to be both about the same team. They can be, but it's not mandatory.

Today's questions:
-should the Panthers buy out Yandle? I think they should. Weegar has broken out offensively and Ekblad can run the PP.
-should the Panthers resign Montour? I think that if they buy out Yandle, they should. Their D could look like:
Montour-Ekblad
Weegar/???-Weegar/???
Nutivaara-Gudas

They should not buyout Yandle and they should not resign Montour
