That hasn't happened yet.

But let me say this, too.

Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

A lot of the speculation and rumor that I've seen so much stuff on social media, Matt Vamichkov is angry.

He didn't want to take warm up.

He had a walk out of the facility and discussed whatever it is that's been out there.

Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

Like I can tell you from speaking to people directly in the Flyers front office that that's not accurate or the case.

So it's almost like when this happens, people start to make up stuff and make it a bigger story and blow up than it actually is.

Zegras is a winger who doesn't have, like, this is why Anaheim traded him.

Halford & Brough in the Morning
Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

He's a winger who will never get it and doesn't have any structure or elements to his game that are going to make him an impactful player in the NHL.

Now he's, like, Rick Tockett let him play center, which is kind of crazy, and he's been really good and had a career season.

Halford & Brough in the Morning
Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

I do think he has an open mind.

Halford & Brough in the Morning
Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

I think you have to hit that real small criteria that he's looking for, and then he sort of leaves you alone.

Halford & Brough in the Morning
Could The Leafs Really Hire John Chayka?

And if you can't get on board with that, it feels more like someone who can't work in a team construct the way Michkoff is failing to do than an indictment on Tuckett.
