If the Leafs pursue this path, the Dark Ages will occur. Back to Ballard style management. It’s time that someone at Rogers gives Pelly a pink slip and do an actual rebuild. If the Leafs get to keep their draft pick this year, and it’s only 5th overall, they should make a deal with Boston to give them their 5th overall pick, but it’ll cost Boston their 1st this year to allow it to slide. Next year, Philly gets the Leafs pick. If the Leafs can rebuild their defense and a couple of free agent forwards signing, they can give up a middle 1st rounder next year. They already have Colorado’s 1st in that draft. Clear the decks of their owed 1st rounders and then go into rebuild. If they’re thinking of getting McDavid, I think that it’s a waste. The Leafs need to get younger and quicker. They don’t possess the youth in the system, or any 1st rounders of their own for 2 years. Their real strength is in goal and that’s where deals can be made to get draft capital. It’s a dumpster fire and needs to be extinguished. This Sundin/Chayka arrangements is just putrid.
