We have heard the debate many, many times. What method of building the Leafs has the best chance of building a Stanley Cup winner (not just making the playoffs)? The kind of team that can consistantly compete with the best teams in the league. When you answer this question it is important to consider the age of our best players. Kessel (26) and Phaneuf (29) are getting older and will they be at their prime when the Leafs are ready to contend?
Option 1 - Continue to build / develop / trade our way to the top. This implies that we will not tank for a chance to draft a top end blue chip prospect.
Option 2 - Trade the likes of Kessel, Phaneuf, etc. for high end prospects, finish at or very near the bottom of the league and draft blue chip prospects (McDavid, etc.).
Vote away.
