So, because Toronto doesn't have the same luxury as us (inheriting good vets from a previous regime), they should just go ahead and wander aimlessly through the woods on the ice ala Edmonton? Teams need leadership, and Babcock is step 1 just as Hartley was for us. They need to build from their - they need to obtain that foundation.
Toronto is going to have no shortage of future assets after they're done dealing away Kessel and others. To attract free agents, they'll likely have to hand out bad contracts with toxic term attached to them - so that's not a good option either.
