Honestly the Leafs have made the right decisions with their club this past year. They started the purge last year and replaced the voids left by the players they traded away with a bunch of pto players that have had pretty good seasons and can be included into their next purge in a month or so. Rather than 'edmonton rush' their top prospects like Nylander, Marner, Kapanen, Harrington ect. They are letting them build their games on other teams while they continue to rebuild on the big club.
You guys need to add an 8.5 million just-not-the-same-as-before Stamkos like you needed to keep Kessel. Its not what the Leafs should be looking at at all. Continue with the rebuild, trade guys like Winnik, Boyes, Parenteau, Grabner ect. For more picks and prospect strength and then worry about delevoping the young talent on the big club while maybe making a splash in the UFA market. Stamkos, to me, doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a lot of clubs, especially considering he will demand more than 8.5 x 8 on the open market. No thanks.
