Nobody in the Leafs organization saw this coming before pulling the trigger on Marchenko? That’s a massive concern. Amateur hour. Between the play on the ice, a clueless head coach and the malpractice upstairs, my faith in this team is shaken.
"It limits what [Toronto's] trying to do. It limits what they want to do."
David Pagnotta explains how the Maple Leafs' tagging problem is preventing them from making trades, including Toronto's pursuit of a top-four defenceman.
More with @JeffMarek & @TheFourthPeriod on this Tuesday edition of DFO Insider!
👀 Hmm. And the Kings have some veterans they could use. But would any of them waive their NMCs to go to Chicago?

Just about every positive from this #Leafs season has been cancelled out by a negative.
Matthews is back - Nylander has fallen off
Rielly bounces back - McCabe is regressing
Stolarz regains his form - Bobrovsky is letting 3 in every night
Roslovic looks like a top line player - Tavares may no longer belong in the top. 6
Special teams are great - 5 on 5 not good
The fact that a lot has actually gone right for the Leafs and they are still in the position they are in should be very concerning to John Chayka.

Have you ever seen an NHL coach look more bewildered and over his skis than Jim Hiller? Absolute deer in the headlights back there. Inspires zero confidence.
💯 The Kings aren’t going anywhere this year, and a rebuild should begin. I like what Boston did two years ago. They traded away some veterans(Carlo, Coyle, Brazeau) for draft picks and prospects and to clear up cap space. They were back in the playoffs last year. Good blueprint.

Who is Kyle Davidson? Chicagos GM, he’s clearly not into Analytics as he would have never signed Bowen Byram looking at his with/without Dahlin/Power vs Everyone else. Demidov also put up Generation Numbers in the MHL, anyone who even remotely understands NHLe would have ran to the table for that Pick. How did he get the Job? LMAO. He wasn’t a Scout, I don’t think, I met most of Chicago’s Scouts. Is he just some random or what? Craziness if he was. How does he still have a job?

Landon DuPont can’t score a goal on one of the most stacked NCAA Teams in History, but he’s a “generational player”. LMAO. Calgary is 13th in Corsi For and 9th in xGF%. They always have the deepest Prospect Pool maybe in decades. Where does this guy pull his data from? It never makes any sense. If Calgary is picking 1st trade down to 3-4 and take one of the Russians or Sundstrom.

Derek Jeter saw that Wayne Gretzky was sitting near the foul line so he took a few seconds to go up to him to shake his hand and say hello after the inning was over

The 2027 NHL Draft is 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. Besides the Russian Class and a few good Europeans, it is MID-BAD. Worst WHL Crop in years, sandwiched between two of the best ever, when Hockey Canadas two best players at U18s were 2010s it says something. I’m starting to see how the myth of Landon DuPont started. 2009 is a terrible class, he lights it up growing up playing against bad competition (Scouting is cyclical, Talent comes in waves in different years) and the myth starts. The second best WHL 2009 was on DuPonts Teams growing up, Lol.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
What if Chicago did this
To #Blackhawks:
Kucherov
To #TampaBayLightning:
Teravainen
Donato
Soderblum
FLA 1st round pick
EDM 2nd round pick (‘28)
They get a 1st with some depth
