So a fan is someone who "wants their team to WIN NOW" when they aren't a serious contender ?
That's a brain dead fan.
We haven't finished the rebuild.
When you don't do things in order, you build a straw house.
know it is hard for people to accept but the fact of the matter is, the rebuild portion is done.
I get why it is so hard to accept, because it was literally 11 months of true rebuilding
July 1 2015 was the start when they traded Kessel and the end was June 2016, they rebuilt in 11 months.
Usually they don't go that fast I get it but when you get your star #1 goalie and your franchise center within a 48 hour period like the Leafs did, that tends to end the rebuild real fast.
Since then they have not be acting like a rebuilding team.
Rebuilding teams don't trade picks for Bryan Boyle, and Fuppila was in that deal too but he blocked it so it was just Boyle in the end.
Rebuilding teams don't sign Patrick Marleau to a 3 year deal
Rebuilding teams don't go after Joe Thornton and Mike Condon.
The Leafs haven't been acting like a rebuilding team for a while now and the reason for that is that they are no longer rebuilding.
