Spring Cleaning – Toronto Maple LeafsThe Toronto Maple Leafs entered the 2025-26 season coming off a 108-point, first-place finish, but the loss of Mitch Marner, injuries, internal tension, and disappointing roster decisions sent the franchise in the opposite direction. Toronto missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2016, leading to the dismissal of General Manager Brad Treliving and serious questions about Craig Berube's future. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine how the Maple Leafs' championship window slammed shut and why fixing the organization may take much longer than one offseason.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Maple Leafs are eliminated from playoff contention on April 2 after entering the season with high expectations following a 108-point campaign and a first-place finish in 2024-25.[00:00:25] The offseason trade of Mitch Marner creates an enormous offensive void. Toronto hopes Matthew Knies, Max Domi, Bobby McMann, and Nick Robertson can collectively replace Marner's production, but that offense-by-committee approach never develops.[00:00:50] Neil revisits his preseason concerns about the return for Marner and the overall construction of the roster. Even before the season began, he did not believe the Leafs were properly built for a deep playoff run.[00:01:10] Brad Treliving ultimately pays the price for the team's collapse. Neil emphasizes that Marner's value went far beyond his 100-point production because he was also one of Toronto's most dependable defensive forwards.[00:01:35] Auston Matthews' knee injury becomes another devastating setback. The Maple Leafs captain misses the final weeks of the season and faces a lengthy recovery following an injury suffered after leading the United States to Olympic gold.[00:02:00] Internal dysfunction contributes to the disappointing season. Neil points to tension between the coaching staff and management, along with widespread dissatisfaction over the direction of the team.[00:02:20] Craig Berube's coaching also comes under scrutiny. With Toronto missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, questions immediately arise about whether he will return behind the bench.[00:02:40] The difficult relationship between Berube and William Nylander becomes one of the season's recurring storylines, with the two appearing to clash throughout much of the year.[00:03:00] Keith Pelley's role in hockey decisions is heavily criticized. Although Pelley insists he is not making the hockey decisions, Neil believes his public comments suggest otherwise.[00:03:25] Neil describes Pelley's leadership as “Buffoonery 101,” criticizing his statements about finding a data-focused general manager while simultaneously presenting opinions about the quality of Toronto's core.[00:03:50] Since taking control, Pelley has dismissed Brendan Shanahan, moved on from the Raptors' leadership, and remained highly visible as the Leafs' hockey operation deteriorated.[00:04:10] The next general manager inherits a deeply complicated situation. Toronto owns only six selections in the 2026 NHL Draft and has no picks in either of the first two rounds.[00:04:30] The Maple Leafs add an extra third-round selection through the Scott Laughton trade with Los Angeles and acquire another pick from Colorado in the Nicolas Roy deal.[00:04:50] Neil points out that the practical return from the Mitch Marner situation amounts to a fifth-round draft pick, a result he considers a major failure by the organization.[00:05:10] Toronto previously surrendered first-round picks in trades involving Laughton and Nikita Grebenkin, leaving the franchise with very little high-end draft capital returning in the other direction.[00:05:30] Many of the acquired selections do not arrive until 2027. If Colorado remains a contender, its pick will likely fall near the bottom of the round, while the picks Toronto traded away could become more valuable if the Leafs continue to struggle.[00:05:55] Neil expresses sympathy for Maple Leafs fans who have endured decades of disappointment. He believes the situation may become even more difficult before the franchise begins to recover.[00:06:15] Calle Järnkrok and Troy Stecher headline Toronto's unrestricted free agents, while Nick Robertson and Matias Maccelli are the notable restricted free agents requiring new contracts.[00:06:35] The episode concludes with a bleak assessment of Toronto's future. What once appeared to be one of the NHL's strongest championship windows now looks completely closed.[00:06:50] Neil does not simply believe the window is closing—he believes it has been slammed shut. The Maple Leafs now face a difficult organizational reset involving the front office, coaching staff, roster construction, and long-term direction.
This week on In A Pickle, we dive into the latest gambling scandal involving Terry Rozier after federal prosecutors alleged he accepted a $100,000 bribe to leave a 2023 game early while with the Charlotte Hornets. Rozier has denied the allegations, but the case continues to raise questions about sports betting and game integrity.We also discuss the concerning situation surrounding Max Domi, who is out indefinitely after complications from offseason surgery.

Sid Seixeiro joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a jam-packed conversation covering everything from Mitch Marner's dominant postseason run with Vegas to the nightmare Stanley Cup Final scenario Leafs fans are trying to avoid.To kick things off, Sid dissected Marner's incredible showing in his first Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Golden Knights. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't think Marner is playing angry — and openly wondered why so many Leafs fans seem miserable watching his success. Rosie countered by suggesting the frustration stems from years of watching Marner fall short in the playoffs in Toronto.The conversation then shifted to the very real possibility of a Vegas-Montreal Stanley Cup Final, which Sid labeled a worst-case scenario for Leafs Nation. He didn't mince words on Carolina either, calling the Hurricanes “frauds” and predicting a Golden Knights-Canadiens Final. Naturally, the guys debated the impossible question for Leafs fans: if that matchup happens, who are you rooting for — Marner and Vegas, or the Canadiens? Sid admitted he'd probably lean Montreal, believing Marner winning the Stanley Cup in Year 1 with Vegas would be beyond embarrassing for the Maple Leafs organization.Additionally, Sid weighed in on the Max Domi injury news and Toronto's slow-moving coaching search. While David Carle stands out as an intriguing option, Sid doesn't want to see the Leafs begging anybody to take the job. In his view, the organization needs to show a little more ego and confidence throughout the process.
Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by The Athletic's James Mirtle for a wide-ranging breakdown of the Maple Leafs' ongoing GM search and the latest intel surrounding the process.Mirtle confirms reporting from Elliotte Friedman that Toronto did, in fact, request permission from Tampa Bay to speak with Julien BriseBois during their search — a request that was ultimately denied. From there, he dives into where things stand with the Leafs narrowing in on John Chayka, how the process has unfolded behind the scenes, and what level of due diligence actually went into the organization's evaluation of candidates.He also weighs in on the timeline, noting the uncertainty around when a final decision will be made, suggesting it could stretch into mid-May and expressing surprise if a hire is in place ahead of the draft lottery. Other names still in the mix include Scott White, while Mike Gillis remains a peripheral option despite not receiving an in-person interview.Mirtle also addresses the Tie Domi angle, making clear that Tie Domi is not expected to land any formal front-office role, citing both optics and the fact that his son, Max Domi, is a core part of the current roster. He's also asked about what makes Chayka an appealing candidate, but admits it's a difficult question to answer without more clarity from team president Keith Pelley.The conversation rounds out with thoughts on potential turnover in the AGM ranks, the fact that Mats Sundin brings zero front-office experience despite his appeal as a figurehead, and whether head coach Craig Berube is truly secure long-term given contract structure and his relationship with management.
JD asks James Mirtle, senior writer at The Athletic, about the Maple Leafs search to hire a new president of hockey operations or a general manager. JD and James discuss what Matt Sundin's influence could be on the front office, John Chayka's history as a front office executive, how Tie and Max Domi's relationship with Chayka may affect decisions, and try to see a future where the Leafs can compete with the upstart Montreal Canadiens.

0:00 - Man, the Avs took care of business yesterday! They SMASHED Calgary 9-2 at Ball Arena. That's what good teams are supposed to do to bad teams (take note, Nuggets). The only bummer was Cale Makar leaving the game with an "upper body injury." Hopefully it's precautionary and nothing more.15:41 - George Paton and Greg Penner both addressed the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. They were asked about everything from Bo's ankle to JK Dobbins to Jaylen Waddle. How does the Broncos Braintrust feel about their roster?34:04 - Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks laid a dirty hit on Auston Matthews a few weeks ago and it ended his season. The Ducks played the Maple Leafs again last night, and Gudas played specifically so he could serve his pennance. Opening puck drop, Max Domi dropped the gloves and whooped Gudas left, right, and center. But it begs the question...why didn't anyone from Toronto fight Gudas THE NIGHT THAT HE HIT MATTHEWS? Why did no one defend their TEAM CAPTAIN?Players have to stick up for their teammates. It's the same reason that Vic wants someone to lay a HARD hit on Lu Dort to set the precedent. You mess with the Jokic, you get the horns.
After firing their general manager, Brad Treliving, the Toronto Maple Leafs erased a two-goal deficit in the third period, taking down the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 in overtime.
