Alternative idea for the Mighty Maples...

The Leafs suck. It's true. I love them, but they really suck. They're sitting in the basement of the NHL and are showing all the signs of a team poised to miss the playoffs. Again.

Numerous theories are running rampant throughout Ontario as to what to do with the ailing club. Some say blow it up completely and restart, others think we should get rid of the old guys like Sundin and Tucker.

I'm no expert on the situation. They have enough money to do whatever they want and it won't make any difference to media contracts or ticketsales whether they win or lose. But at least they made the right move getting rid of Ferguson Jr. The next step is finding a permanent GM. Perhaps the guys at Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment should sleep over one night at the ACC and catch a glimpse of a Raptors game. They'll spot the well-dressed Bryan Colangelo hanging out in the corner of the arena, watching the team he rebuilt.

He may not be a hockey man, but the Leafs need something. Why not fork out some cash and see if he can build another division champ?

It occurs to me that you're the same age now that I was when the Mighty Maples last won the Stanley Cup.
