Thread: Fire Shanahan and Keefe FAST
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>It's been pretty well reported that Shanahan had the power to fire Babcock. He did it and since then ownership hasn't allowed anyone with term on their deal to be fired without Larry's permissions. That is why Nick Nurse spent a year coaching the Raptors talking every game about how much he hated coaching the Raptors and didn't believe in the team's direction and wanted to leave without getting fired.</div></div>

The main reason Babcock wasnt fired was primarily money and the Leafs performance in certain games of the Boston series specifically game 5. Only when they lost 6 in a row did MLSE realize we got to do it.

If you got a year left wont mean you aint fired if the team sucks

Ex if Leafs lost 6 in a row this season early Keefe would have been gone but they didnt. Heck we saw it with Woodcraft in EDM

What Babcock did teach is no more crazy big coaching deals which was why Keefe got 2 years

The Nurse thing was different as Masai isnt the kind of guy to do that. He doesnt like change on the fly.

Thread: Rule Changes To Improve NHL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>Ahh the Toronto fan crying about the cap screw everyone but the big markets or teams with owners who this is a toy for. How about getting guys more worried about winning than getting max dollar. When you're top 3 guys make over 40% of your cap you can't put a good enough team around them to win. (That 40% is now it was even higher as percentage when they were signed . Manage your cap better Toronto.</div></div>

Making things about the Leafs only despite the fact other teams are mentioned. So what if the person's a leaf fan anyone can make suggestions concerning hockey

Classic hater talk lul

This was just someone trying to make suggestions on how the NHL could improve even though the suggestions werent the best.

Lets not go making about us as we be now charging rent for people blabbering about things not concerning them alone as in the end every competitive team would love extra cap space

I can only really speak for the Jets.

Winnipeg declines because the only piece the Jets are interested in is the 1st rounder. The jets have their roster for this year, there's no room to add another three forwards. Also, every trade for Hellebuyck will involve a goalie coming the other way. Elvis isn't enticing enough (compared to the goalies other teams would send) to move the needle.

And as per usual, if the Jets trade Scheif before the deadline, they absolutely need an established top 6 centre coming back. Vilardi and Perfetti are not going to hold down the fort at centre this year. Not getting a top 6 centre back for Scheifele is basically giving up on this year before it even starts, which the Jets ownership can't afford to do.
