Mike Johnson

He's got to shed the I'm the former player because he's an executive now.

I'm not saying he wouldn't do that.

I'm saying, do you think Brady speaks to him as the player Dave Pullen or as the manager?

It's a very different conversation.

Well, there's a part of me that...

wonders if he's taking this out of a playbook of like a lebron james or something where he's putting pressure on the organization you know don't think i'm just automatically happy and coming back pretty rich though for a guy that's making 13 point or 13 million dollars in a cap system to say you better get a bunch of depth 100 that's fair though this is normal

It's impossible.

What if it's not even the Leafs?

It's that he's looking at somewhere else he wants to play.

Like, what if it's not really about looking at the Leafs and saying, I need a new coach, I need a new defenseman.

What if he's getting out and he's like, actually, I kind of like what's going on over there.

And it's not about the Leafs as much as it's, I don't know if I'm coming back because I want to play somewhere else.

Yeah, because you look through the lens of McDavid, it's like,

I want to win, like right here, right now.

What are you going to do?

I'm putting pressure on you to make sure.

Maybe it's got to be a new coach.

No kidding.

Like, Seneca's going to get paid.

Well, that's a great question right now.
