He's going to leave the Leafs in a situation somewhat similar to the Flames. In shambles.

The wizard was always a piece or two short, bad goalie then bad coaches, the extra pieces he brought in to fill the team were always terrible or useless, Hamonic, Brouwer, Neal, endless number of useless spared dmen and 4th liners. Then he ran out of time when the core left he cause he ####ed them so bad on contract when he had a chance.
