I assume RC has a sex tape of Bob, other than that, there's pretty much no reasoning at all behind staying loyal to our coach.

Tweeted at Teaford earlier, he thinks Nylander is a longshot.
Also thinks BM doesn't like the roster and will make a shakeup trade soon.

I saw yesterday that some Leafs reporter (blue checkmark on twitter) posted that Montour is in a mix for Nylander, he has heard. I thought: lol, we are the 2nd highest cap team (although we are supposed to be a budget team) and Toronto is trading Nylander only because they can`t sign him and suddenly people think we might be interested in trading a young cost controlled Dman for an expensive young player. haha, where is the logic?
Nylander is great, would love to have him, but I would like to have McDavid too, and Crosby, and Hedman, and Matthews, and Elias Pettersson and... and...
LeBrun had this to say about the Ducks possibly trading Montour for Nylander...
LeBrun: Assessing nine potential William Nylander trade...
"And besides, word on the street is that Anaheim is looking to trade for a defenceman, not trade one away."

trade for a defenseman? What the actual f***? I'm not a subscriber, so can someone elaborate? Surely we wouldn't trade Montour?

Probably just talking about a bottom pairing defenseman. You know Bob loves making a move for one of them to solve all our issues. Gotta bring in some more leadership

It felt like Anahem was merely mentioned as an unlikely destination for Nylander as a reply to some Toronto Sun reporter who apparently speculated over the subject earlier.
This is the entire section on Anaheim..
"Colleague Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun put out there Monday night that perhaps the Ducks could be a fit with young blueliner Brandon Montour the catch for the Leafs. I don’t believe the Leafs and Ducks have talked about Nylander at this point. The problem for Anaheim is the cap implications of a Nylander contract. The Ducks are already in LTI hell and Nylander’s deal won’t help because he’d be signing well into the season and would carry a higher cap charge than the actual AAV. So that puts Anaheim in a real tough spot that way. Not sure the Ducks could swing it. And besides, word on the street is that Anaheim is looking to trade for a defenceman, not trade one away."
Perhaps LeBrun is privy to the details of Fowler's injury and suggesting Anaheim may look for a stopgap?
Random question to the mods - What are the HFRules governing the quoting of material locked behind a paywall, the Athletic in this case?

Lebrun unlike that hack Friedman actually knows what he’s talking about.

**** that. The Samuelis need to take the keys away from Bob before he goes trying to solve anything by forcing a roster move. He gets his keys back after he sacks his buddy.

I think they’ve got a lot of faith in Bob. They had a shitload of trust in Burke too, I wonder what it would take for them to fire a GM? Probably at least consecutive non playoff years unfortunately.

Friedman thinks BM and Rutherford might do a one for one change of scenery swap like the Pearson-Hagelin trade. I’m thinking Cogliano for someone.

Feels all BM ever does anymore is 1 for 1 hockey trades for extremely fair value. Where's the deals where Anaheim's fleeces... I want some of those.

Whitney for Visnovsky and Bonino and a first for Kesler were pretty good.

Also Silfverberg, Ritchie, Noesen for Bobby Ryan was pretty great

Lovejoy for Desprey was also awesome, until the thing happened.
I don't feel a need to worry about Murray trading. I, however, do feel some need to worry about him with UFAs and appointing coaches THAT HAVE ALREADAY FAILED HERE.

Watch it be Ritchie for Määttä or Dumoulin. LeBrun's saying we're on the market for a defenseman, after all.
Maatta is the first name that came to my mind when he mentioned guys needing a change of scenery, which is a bit scary. Unless it's for a forward, which would probably be fine. Could also be Sprong but not sure that's much of a fit and not sure if BM would have a ton of interest.
