The shade Patrick Kane threw at Toronto on TSN radio was hilarious
“I’m a winner and winners don’t go play for teams that can’t get past the first round, so my decision will be based off a team that’s pointing in the right direction, not one with constant failures.”
Leafs are about to draft McKenna or Stenberg and plug them straight into the same top heavy Core Four structure that already failed for nearly a decade. This organization fundamentally misunderstands roster construction.

Evan Bouchard holds the highest career playoff points per game average of any defenceman since 1978. If Makar is supposed to be the best defenceman of this generation, why does he have to look up at Evan Bouchard on the all time playoff points per game list?
Hearing the Vegas Golden Knights have granted permission to the Edmonton Oilers to speak with head coach Bruce Cassidy. Expectation is a deal gets done and Cassidy is named Oilers head coach within the week.
