What will Leafs' team philosophy be with Berube at helm? 

Frankie Corrado is an underrated analyst. His words especially make sense after reading and listening to many of the other hockey pundits who deal primarily in pipe dreams. An assessment period is exactly what Craig Berube needs. With decisions over qualifying offers for 4 RFAs and who among the UFAs to re-sign, there's lots to do immediately. The obvious needs of a starting goalie and blueline help should take some careful planning with no good reason to rush into a deal. The deadline for putting a squad together in Berube's vision is opening night, not tomorrow and that is a soft deadline at that.

Even if they get prospects/futures for Marner or a Saros+Kemell+pick. It still allows them go after Tanev,Brossoit,Laughton,Stephenson,Dillon or re sign Domi,Bertuzzi.

“It’s not a core four but it’s a collective team” is what the leafs have been lacking for so long

In 3 years time, a new coach will be hired. It does not appear that Shanahan wants to actually move away from the core.

A new Leafs coach has brought more life to the sports broadcasting staff, than to the team.

Good luck getting the core to play with intensity and heart! Whose the goalie? Leafs take big step back as detroit and buffalo will be much better!

Philosphy is great but they will need some players changes to become a Berube team. I think Marner should call Tre now...

I'm surprised to see the Leafs are only 7th in payroll for 023/024. However, the Rangers are 11, the Panthers 14, the Oilers 15, and the Stars 20 (Source: BETMGM) . There's obviously a lot to be said about getting bang for your buck in the NHL. The Leafs are not getting their return on investment.

The philosophy will be you either give 100% on the ice or you will be picking out splinters from your butt on the bench, before watching the next game from upstairs.

"Upwards of nine candidates" More than 9!!!😂😂😂

I can’t wait for Berube to get into the face of both Nylander and Matthews for their lack of effort.

It’s gonna be fine watching the leafs dominate 5v5 under berube fun to watch hard nose hockey

remember when TOR hired a taskmaster named mike babcock? that worked out real well lol. pepperidge farm remembers. 😉

Rangers are driven by 4/5 guys right now. Lucky for them they have Kreider

So should Pittsburgh be nervous about their future because Dubas constructed a team not fit for the playoffs? You mean advanced analytics are not the key to winning?

they where ok threw regular season but we all new the hints where there of collapsing

Lmfao who wants to play for Berube? What stars have rushed to St. Louis to play for him? None. More like the stars left for free agency. Giving me a break thinking Marner trade is going to fill all these holes. You lost the trade. Were worst for it. Furthermore trading for Berube is stupid cause we don't have the assets. Closer to a rebuild than a Stanley cup run.
