If this current management team and players never win a Stanley Cup will this current rebuild phase ever be considered finished or successful?
I don't think so,Mess, no. Leafs fans had been waiting for ages to see competent management and stable ownership, take the reigns of the disaster that had been the Maple Leafs for so many years without a championship. We're not some expansion team. We're an original six team that had been a once great franchise, under Conn Smythe.
As fans, we need to stay patient as our top prospects develop into NHL'ers. However, if this time, Leaf management once again proves themselves to be inept, with terrible drafting, trading, scouting, signings, it will give fans the idea that it's an impossibility to win a Cup in Toronto. They'd been through this for so many years, some will hang in there, but a lot will also feel disgusted and disillusioned.
Another train wreck will once again, break many Leaf fans hearts.
