Goaltending Coach - Bryz
not much worst then now
missing the playoffs by a couple points with a young developing team is a **** show?
So you want to make it even worse?
typical brainless logic.
The disappointing last few seasons have made me realize that the Leafs should follow other organizations leads in bringing back former players to be involved in hockey operations. Who better to understand the pressures of a hockey market, and what it takes in the market, if not former players that were once involved with the team?
I have looked at the org chart from top to bottom, and I think these names could make some sense if they were brought in to help the Leafs. I hope Tim Leiweke takes a look at all the former Leafs players and brings some of that blood back into the fold.
Here is what I envision.
no missing the playoffs for over a decade when there was a full season is a **** show.
I expect to get flamed, but the most underrated management figure in Leafs org history is... Ken Dryden.Not saying he made the decisions, but when he was in senior management the Leafs were a well run org with results on the ice to show for it.
Always been a huge Dryden fan so I'm not pretending to be neutral, but Dryden is a bit of a forgotten man in Leafs history. I think he shouldn't be.
Not many Stanley Cup rings in that bunch...thought we wanted a winner? Not a front office replete with too many guys who barely made the playoffs, let alone win a cup!!
Plus, half the fans can't stand a few of those guys like Mats Sundin. Why would you want to hire a guy that played a big part is screwing this team over?

Yeah. Think of where we'd be now if he allowed himself to be traded for Grabovski and Chris Higgins.
wut
Why would he have been traded for those guys? Rumor was Van city for Kessler and a pick and prospect. Also, St Jose was in the mix.
If the rumors are true and Shanahan is coming in as Director of Hockey Operations, I think he knows the value of bringing in former players into management. That Detroit organiztion is doing things right, can't wait to see greats like Gilmour, Sundin etc with huge roles with the Leafs. Exciting times!!
