"The Leafs went back to the old-school hockey mind, but downgraded tremendously. Craig Berube is a Stanley Cup winner, but it was a flash in the pan."
"Nothing screams young and innovating more than a 67 year-old who hasn't been a GM in the NHL since 2014, right? Gillis is unfortunately too old and has been out of the league for too long."
"Isn't Chayka just a terrible version of Dubas? Both of them came into the league with a modern approach, but Chayka has not shown the same level of success."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling to find a suitable general manager, with recent candidates raising concerns. The team's past success under Mike Babcock, Brendan Shanahan, and Lou Lamoriello contrasts sharply with its current state.

Candidates like Mike Gillis and John Chayka are viewed skeptically, with doubts about their suitability for the role given their age and past performance.
