Because we know the team isn't very good and we keep a lid on it through hot streaks. If we didn't you can bet your ass when reality strikes and the team plays as expected (poorly), some will jump all over the poster who wrote good things by saying something like.... Oh you said we were great last week so now we suck? Who cares what you say.

A complete rebuild doesn't have to be the way to go, but its the most ideal in our situation. Unfortunately, I doubt management sees it that way.
If we are going to cut corners like in the Burke era, which I'm afraid will happen again, we have to make smart trades. Our pro scouts have to be completely sure on the player we are getting back. If they are looking for players from the 22-25 age whih has been reported, then they better be looking for impact players or almost impact players at that age, I dont want any Carter Ashton's, Luca Caputi's and Matt Frattin type players. I want impact players. If we can't get them which might be the case, then we need to stock up on picks and build through the draft. Picking up players that have been rejected by their own franchise throws up a question mark right away, but if that's what they are going for then Mark Hunter better be damn good at his job.

Fan patience?
How about management patience?
No Toronto Maple Leafs management team in the last decade since the salary cap was introduced has shown any inkling of having enough patience to go through a rebuild.
A REAL rebuild is exactly what this team needs IMO.
