I don't know if you've been over to Anaheim Calling lately, but the big news there has a familiar face. They've rightly identified the hiring of Nonis as a move that simply shuffles around the Good Old Boy's network, and in the words of one glum Ducks fan, "Dumb people hire other dumb people. Who thinks he ends up taking bobs spot once he is eventually fired?"
And here's another, important question posed by Ducks fans: "Sod hired his eventual replacement, my only question is what to call him?" "I kind of like son of sod."
If you want, you can go leave your condolences in this thread.
Also, Leafs prospect camp starts on Tuesday and I'm excited! Two Solar Bears join the ranks, Patrick Watling and Brady Vail, and while I hope I see them again in Orlando, I also hope I don't, if you comprehend me. (I also noticed that Solar Bear Brett Findlay signed with the Marlies, but is not going to prospect camp, and neither is Garret Sparks. I guess those two are no longer considered prospects.)

Is Mitch Marner or William Nylander the Leafs' best prospect? | PPP
When the Leafs selected William Nylander eighth overall in the 2014 NHL Draft, he became the team's unquestioned best prospect. With the selection of Mitch Marner fourth overall in this year's draft, has that changed?

Toronto Maple Leafs: Should David Booth be the Next Captain? | Tip of the Tower
There are three obvious counterarguments to making Booth the next captain of the Leafs: 1) he’s rarely healthy; 2) he’s no longer a star player in the NHL; and 3) he’s not under contract right now. If you remember, however, this is hypothetical exercise so we can ignore all of these pesky "hiccups" sent our way by reality.Toronto Maple Leafs 2015 Draft Review – Part 1 | Maple Leafs Hot Stove
