Bowness shouldn’t have a job lol, I can see the lack of motivation in every single #CBJ players eyes. Similar to how every #leafs player looked last year with Berube as the bench boss
#CBJ Rick Bowness promised changes to the power play units, and he’s delivered:
PP#1
Knies
Garland - Monahan - Fantilli
Werenski
PP#2
Nichushkin
Severson - Coyle - Johnson
Mateychuk
Sunny Mehta to @mikemorrealeNHL less than five weeks ago:
"Because there is randomness at the (goaltending) position, I’m reluctant to invest significant assets there instead of in areas where the results may be more predictable."

AI slop type of trade. #Leafs know what they have in Cowan, and John Chayka isn’t as dumb as Treliving to send another promising young forward to a divisional rival (e.g Minten to #NHLBruins )
Toronto Maple Leafs Mock Trade for Simon Edvinsson
DET
- Easton Cowan
- Oliver Ekman Larsson
- 2027 2nd Round Pick
- 2028 5th Round Pick
TOR
- Simon Edvinsson
WHO SAYS NO?

If I’m the GM of the #GoJetsGo and I’m getting Mercer, Command, Daws and a 1st rounder for Hellebuyck… I’d be pumped. Looking more and more like most of not all of those pieces are being shipped over from the #NJDevils
Hellebuyck > NJ devils #confirmed#NHL
Mason McTavish, 23 year old center who has 9 points in 9 games for the Blues. MTL had the 28th overall pick already.
Would it have killed our rebuild to acquire him? No. Is he perfect? No. Would our 2C hole have been addressed? YES. And that’s what should have mattered.
Alternatively, the #GoJetsGo could be asking for Mantha, Rodrigues, or Brown in addition to Mercer as they are looking for depth scorers beyond a second line center. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds for them and the #NJDevils
If the #NHLJets and #NJDevils are working on a Connor Hellebuyck trade, I could see the deal looking something like this:
Jets receive:
Dawson Mercer
Brendan Dillon (10-team NTC)
Vegas’ 2027 1st-round pick
Devils receive:
Connor Hellebuyck
2027/2028 3rd-round pick
Good for both teams - just wonder if Dillon will accept a trade to #GoJetsGo

Nothing could be worse than being in the #Leafs arena right now while having the #Preds drop 2 quick ones on you and then the DJ plays ‘Astronaut in the Ocean’ 😭 #LeafsvsPreds
After reading countless comments and opinions from #NHL fans, I’ve reached a conclusion: a shocking number of you think managing an NHL team, developing players, building lineups, and making personnel decisions is basically as easy as playing EA Sports NHL.
It isn’t. Stick to your day jobs, fellas. 😂
