Responsible for likely the 2 greatest trades in leafs history to get 2of the franchise greatest ever players in Gilmour and Sundin and put together probably the best teams since 67
If there was a number raising to the rafters for a GM and executive it would be for him
So let me get this right…. Chayka flies to Whithorse to see a player that has played 0 games for the Leafs, but Chayka and Sundin treat one of the best Leafs (Mathews) ever to a zoom meeting?? SMH
From the Old Grey Whistle Test and those tank tops and iconic style which coined the famous nickname to his wonderful promotion of Country music in the UK , British stars and bringing great talent from the US to our airwaves and shows

Doing what every other team who has ever had a 1st OA pick has done
GM wouldn’t be doing his job properly if he didn’t take the calls , means very little

Men in go to concert on a weekend when they aren’t at work shocker
Good for them , playing hockey is their job and like all workers they are allowed to have a break from work and do something else
Move on

Sensible and pragmatic move for squad depth and likely financially although will be a severe lack of pace at cb if him and Burn have to play together which will be a potential issue
Good for Laura

For somebody who it’s been widely reported nobody wants to speak to or would work with, John Chayka is doing an awful lot of speaking to people and getting them to join the team he is in charge of
Former Newcastle and Manchester defensman Mike Lankshear drafted 148 spots before the fine Leafs D man Tomas Kaberle.
2 careers that went in completely opposite directions
Beginning today, we will look back on the Leafs' draft classes of the last 30 years leading up to this year's draft!
We kick things off with 1996, which saw the team make 14 selections. Only three of them appeared in an NHL game, with the best of the bunch being Tomas Kaberle.
