What should the Leafs do this year and next?

First thing they have to do is dump Ferguson. The guy has absolutely murdered the team over the last few years. I would argue they should go into a full rebuild Trade away a couple of those unwieldy contracts, Kubina is a good start, add the incredibly over-rated McCabe to the list. Trade the two second string goalies for a bag of pucks and chase down a free agent, goalie is simply too important a position to go with average talent. Darcy Tucker reminds me too much of Wendel Clark but he would be excellent trade bait. Last year I would have said, get Sundin a winger. Now I think that would be a waste. Let's start a real rebuild. Go for draft picks instead of tired old guys in the twilight of their career. If we are going to miss the playoffs lets have a decent reason for it. Young and inexperienced is better than old and disinterested. I would keep Sundin because he has been a class act for the Leaf for years and deserves to retire as a Leaf. (Don't want to lose him like we did Keon). Now, if they shoot for the playoffs, put Maurice on a short leash. He has been badly outcoached several times (someone explain how useful a timeout can be to him, willya) and was really the guy who cost them the playoffs last year. I guess the real bottom line is to pick a direction and stop waffling between rebuild and trying to contend. The current Leafs have no hope of a cup. They don't have much cap room. They cannot afford to fill all their gaps. rebuild now. They should have started 2 years ago. Miles Leaf fan since 1967, their last cup, and bloody annoyed about it.
