Ericsson should be our net-front guy on power play.
"rebuilds take 10 years."
Not if you do it right. Shanaplan under budget and ahead of schedule.
Chris Osgood while they are showing that candid shot in between commercials:
"Can one of you guys help me stay focused please"
Yep, he's a goalie.

The Leafs are already ****ing amazing and they started rebuilding just before tonight's game. I hear they're winning a Cup sooner than us, right after Tampa.
Leaf fan coming in peace. Leafs rebuild got accelerated by getting #1 pick in a strong draft year. Without Matthews this team would still be bottom 5. I like the "shanaplan" and Babcock but they got gifted Matthews + Marner in the past 2 drafts. I think a quick rebuild is a lot more luck then some master plan.
To be fair, Toronto had Nylander established as well as took advantage of a guy like Matthews coming in.
But yeah, it sucks to watch a team reap the rewards of a dedicated rebuild.
The Leafs were already really bad when Shanahan took over. He didn't purposely take them from a playoff team to a bad team. If you can't see the discern the difference between the Leafs and the Red Wings (prior to this season) situations then I don't know what to tell you.
The Red Wings are finally really bad this season like the Leafs were when Shanahan took over. And, gasp, I bet Holland will approach things differently this offseason now that his team is in a different situation.
