Rebuild the Leafs organization

[Socreges]

The disappointing last few seasons have made me realize that the Leafs should follow other organizations leads in bringing back former players to be involved in hockey operations. Who better to understand the pressures of a hockey market, and what it takes in the market, if not former players that were once involved with the team?

I have looked at the org chart from top to bottom, and I think these names could make some sense if they were brought in to help the Leafs. I hope Tim Leiweke takes a look at all the former Leafs players and brings some of that blood back into the fold.

Here is what I envision.

Holy ****

Six of the seven members of Team Management in this scenario have absolutely no experience.

Because hiring a bunch of people with no qualifications is what will really turn this organization around...

Well, what exactly has hiring experienced guys done?

That's why I think keeping Fletcher around is a good move as an advisor. He's able to help the new guys with his experience in the background.

Nothing.

Experienced or in-experienced it doesn't matter. As long as the organization's goal continues to be: "let's make the playoffs and see what happens" it will never turn around.

Although to be fair, the only two GMs in recent Leafs history to have any success at all (Fletcher - the first time around and Pat Quinn) both at oodles of experience.

I know this chip truck guy that knows about the hockey, he would be great.

No room for him.

If he did exist, he certainly hates the Leafs with a passion.

Passion of the christ...

He must be a Wings fan.

Would he have traded two first round picks for Kessel when his starting goalie going into the season was Vesa Toskala?

Bob Nicholson as team president is my dream scenario.

how the chips?

Kessel would fully endorse this hiring.

Kessel would fully endorse this hiring.

The last thing we need is for Kessel to show up to training camp 50lbs overweight like Dustin Byfuglien.

Think about it man. "Chip guy" would be making mad trades, driving Phil to every game in his truck and also helping MLSE with sales while parked outside the ACC.

i think your gonna see NONIS get some help ....if he dont like it he quits ...happens in real life every day ,this smells too much of brian burke still

 

[TheCLAM]

Poor wasted time doing a spread sheet.. I thought for a second I was reading an alumni team then I realized it was our management..

 

[MajorLeaf]

Needs more Darcy Tucker and Tie Domi.

It is doubtful Bell/Rogers brings in Tie Domi for anything after he endorsed Comwave over the "big guys" for telephone service.

 

[Peasy]

But OP theres still hope!!! The Leafs aren't out of the playoffs yet!!!!

This is one of the dumbest ideas ever... Sundin doesnt even live in NA!
