1v5 just like Johnny taught’em

This is just my read: It seems like it might be something like this, where Sundin and Chayka are VPs and White is GM. Chayka interfaces with Teherany translating hockey ops data needs into whatever they’re doing there. Sundin handles more of the hockey ops governance: brand identity, general...

And Edmonton is in the Pacific

Happy Nylander birthday to their that celebrate. Also if you’re familiar with the Jonathan Coulton song about this day, you should celebrate accordingly too!

That’s what I would like the Leafs to have. A front office that wants to routinely outscore the opposition. It would be fun, but currently it is sad.

This is a very good point. Boards are highly susceptible to bikeshedding. If I was on the MLSE board, guess who would've been traded in 2021 for a haul lol If we take Pelley at his word, once the HOHO is in place, he and the Board will basically fork off. It's not unreasonable for them to have...

My experience with recruitment firms is that their primary function is to provide a wider applicant pool and first screening per the hiring firm's spec, and never involved in actual interviews (like if I tried to interview for this position, I'd be filtered out easily at this stage since posting...

It certainly helps to be familiar; I think it also introduces additional bias into the proceedings if the GM/HOHO already has too much familiarity, so to speak. No GM knows every player/prospect; good data-driven GMs will set up processes and procedures to a) surround him or herself with...

Pelley mentioned he talked to people inside the org and hockey people outside the org for their feedback on the state of the Leafs, which to me, sounds like he was already interviewing people for Shanahan's vacated position after Treliving probably noted that he was not able to handle the...

Technically, they would have vetted many candidates and shortlisted a group to interview (some names have come out who are firmly in and around the executive space of the NHL); the choice to finalize is on the hiring party's decision making. Sundin (and Gillis), by all accounts so far, is...

Pelley said the search will not be about who you know, etc. The final picks are basically the people Tie Domi have deep connections to (other than Scott White*) * actually, Max Domi played for Dallas a bit, so there's a chance Tie has interacted with White beyond nods in the arena hallways.

Still holding out a sliver of hope for Team Gunshot Wound

Yeah. A lot of it sounds like smear because he didn’t kowtow to the NHL elders properly. At the same time, if the name is instantly disrespected by peers right out of the gate, how is that profitable for MLSE?

Man, it’ll be so funny if they hire Chayka and his first move is to fire Shane Doan (again)

I thought these retaliatory crosschecks that hit head/neck go for 2-5 games*… Lmao * for first offenses. Seems like it goes down if you do it enough times

Let’s go past tense passive voice!
