I'd like to see Toronto become a 5-7 seed ONCE before we start talking about "perpetually" finishing there.
No offense intended, I definitely think the Leafs are moving forward and I think a 5-7 finish in the East is there for the taking in Toronto, but let's not put the wagon before the horse. Do it once, then we'll talk about doing it long-term.
For the record, if Colorado ever actually proposed this deal, the Leafs would be fools not to take it. Fills a
huge need, and the price (Rielly - the #5 pick in a fairly bad draft year) is phenomenally reasonable.
