wait a minute, this is fake stuff; i keep getting got lol a 1-yr bonus-y deal is likely, if anyone actually takes him up on it. Seattle probably should be trying here if they haven't already.

Fake Jack Hughes has 4 years left on his current deal, in case you were curious. It does seem like a short term deal will be what Quinn is targeting.

TLN 16. Patriks Pulmins Made a lot of saves on a big stage, so definitely worth a longer look, but still a longer term project.

Looks like Bryan McCabe did not have the greatest time here But he did really look up to Mats Sundin, which is that kind of soft power that I believe he is already exerting on the organization, hopefully steering Auston Matthews and William Nylander in the right direction

Whatever Jeff worked on over the weekend has smoothed things out significantly, performance-wise. Thanks, Rick/Jeff!

No Bryan McCabe, as Chayka promotes from within the dev team (unless they’re splitting pro level dev with prospect dev…; there is already AHL/ECHL dev) Good summary in here of the work he has been doing with Tavares

This is the baseball version of that Tim Brent PK shift and I will remember it accordingly.

Wow

TLN 17. Cooper Williams I thought we'd target more centre picks in the draft (RD and Cs have future team/market value) Cooper Williams bears the profile of some previous Leafs picks: Adam Brooks, Fraser Minten, and more recently Tyler Hopkins. Cerebral, responsible, 2-way centres are always in...

Looking at Detroit, I’d like to thank Brad Treliving for asking MLSE to just fire him immediately if that’s what they decided. The Red Wings are in a pretty tough bind with the timing of Yzerman’s ‘resignation’. (They should get the Shanahan/Treliving/Berube combo: first in the Atlantic the...

TLN 18. Juuso Ainasto It's hard to have an opinion on goaltending prospects, but the profile looks like the what the Leafs like: tall, long, mobile. The fun part is he is also a trolly fassthole. Imagine Anthony Stolarz but potentially less injury-prone and looks like a tall Max Domi. should...

yes, please keep telling me what I want to hear. Audio from that segment

Not knowing anything detailed about the prospects or even the bodies coming in, it looks like they aimed for a soft-sell/retool to open flexibility -- pretty similar to the Leafs crash and burn last season but not as drastic (Matthews dud season, Vladdy dud at the plate). Jays still have good...

TLN 19. Landon Sim A real fassthole here, but limited in on-puck skills. Fortunately for him, gumption goes a long way on a hockey team as he is a responsible checker, an absolute troll to opponents, and has the attitude of a wrecking ball that knows his job. Unfortunately he is smaller. So...

Every subsequent hire by O’Brien also appears to be hella jacked (even the sports psychologist)

TLN's Top 20 prospects launched this week. PPP T25U25 kicking off soon. TLN 20. Nick Moldenhauer I always have time for righties with Centre experience in their profile, and scoring to boot, but I don't really see much here.

and 6; his pace is 2 Cups per NHL stop. PPP notes that Chayka and O'Brien have history, when Chayka realized his playing career was over (injury) and pivoted to optimizing performance for other players...

Official now. O’Brien has been involved with NHL teams since Matthews entered the league and has picked up 4 Cups during that span. He joins the Leafs as VP of Sport Performance Given how everybody broke down last season (Olympics compressed schedule, right after the 4 Nations compressed...
