Mat Sundin

Um,

before I was getting messages from people going, I think he has more power than they're letting on because why else would he move here with his entire family?

Well, already there's mystery around what the hell he's going to do here.

The word was that that, you know, he thought it was going to be some sort of ceremonial role.

And it's turned into something that's extremely involved.

And he'll be there every day.

Now, John Chaik was then announced as the 19th general manager in Leafs history.

And he started off, Jesse, his his speech, which was written down.

And by the way, I don't people were were laughing out for that.

I don't blame him at all.

If I was going to be the

20th general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

You best believe I'm reading off the script.

Yeah, I know.

You can't just freestyle these things.

And he did say this, and I think Leaf fans will like this.

Was a Leafs fan.

Grew up watching Sundin just like we did.

Says he understands how much the organization matters to the city.

He said no avoiding the realities of the challenges ahead.
