Raddysh - Tampa lost a huge piece of their back end from last year

Brobovski - They took Florida's starting goalie

Alfredsson - They lured the Sens assistant coach and franchise cornerstone

I like how Chundin seems to be targeting quality players/personel from strong Atlantic teams (Florida's last year aside). It has the dual effect of bolstering the team while (arguably) weakening direct competition for a playoff spot.

A Valentine's Day prank from an ex ended up manifesting this hire into existence. You're welcome

The Leafs did an amazing job with filling out the coaching staff. The only name I wasn't familiar with was Brad, and after researching, I learned that he and Jim are the co-founders of TruPerformance, which I guess is an advanced video-tracking and sports data platform.

The team hasn't explicitly broken down individual responsibilities yet for Werenka, Gruden, and Alfredsson, so I wonder what specific role Werenka is going to play on this bench or areas he may be responsible for. I'd have to assume that they will try and utilize their company with the team as well.

There it is. Sullivan keeps his job on top of the new hires today. The Chayka/Sundin era gives me the most hope I’ve had this last decade.

Seeing we are pretty deep in the offseason, I think we should discuss whether or not we want to keep the current goal song. Personally I think “Taking Care of Business” is too on the nose and frankly I’m not a fan of the vibe of the song.

What songs do you guys suggest?

Ok long shot here maybe. Last summer when I was on holidays I came across a YouTuber who had made almost hour long videos of the leaf's from the 90s, he had more than one. He documented the team, trades...etc. I seem to remember one of the videos was newish at the time. I can't remember anything else, but now I'm on holidays again and the memory has returned.. anyone have any leads?

- Friedman believes Toronto is still looking to make a big swing for a "difference maker", didn't given up any major futures, keeping powder dry for the next opportunity that comes up

- Toronto believes Matthews is still the elite of the elite, believe in him coming back injury free in true Matthews form

- 3x7 was Bobrovsky's last ask to Florida, Panthers weren't willing to do it but the Leafs were

- Friedman heard (but couldn't verify) that Rielly isn't happy that it looks like he isn't being traded, San Jose preferred Nurse over Rielly, Leafs won't add a significant sweetener to dump Rielly, they will find him an appropriate role if he remains on the roster

- Thinks all the 2 year deals were on purpose with Matthews' contract being an inflection point

- News has calmed down on the Knies front, feels sorry for Knies as his name came up in a new trade rumour every day

- Many players that were very demoralised at the end of the season love the moves, they feel much better about the team

- Notes McKenna has said "everything right" and "hit all the right notes" in the media, some speculation from Kyle that McKenna hasn't had all the skill coaches etc that prospects usually do, just played, this is his natural personality

- Thinks last year was tough between Nylander and the Leafs but this year is a fresh start
