When asked, he declared he was "too impatient for a traditional rebuild and that under his watch the leafs would undergo a radical on-the-fly rebuild."

So every re-build the leafs have done over the past 15 years or so, were some type of re-build, and leafs fans were all on board each time ........... and mocked all other teams for not doing it the leaf way ........ but now they're undergoing a "traditional re-build" and forget that they mocked those teams ........... so why are they not mocking the leafs?

Well as I said earlier, whatever the leafs are doing, at the time, is the proper way to re-build, and all other teams are wrong and will fail ........... but not that the leafs are re-building through the draft, they will succeed were teams like the Oilers, who leaf fans have crapped all over, did not, in their opinion.

And in four or five seasons, the next form of re-build will be the correct way, eh?

Which ones? How many?

When did anyone mock others for their rebuilds? Leafs fans have wanted a full tear down and rebuild since the muskoka 5 and the end of sundin.

Inventing something, wouldn't be hb if someone was making poop up.

here is just a few examples of some (leaf fans ) poo pooing the "traditional" re-build, because the leaf had not yet embarked on one.

I think we're starting to see that the tank to rebuild model does not automatically make you a cup contender like a lot of people thought. It is likely the easiest way to get top end young talent but it does not guarantee anything. You still need luck (not every 1st overall pick is a Crosby), and then you need the ability to build around your core to fill in the gaps which is something Edmonton is currently failing at.

Burke (imo) is one of the best GMs in the league. If he has a lot of influence in Calgary I no longer fear for their rebuild.

the thank rebuild is great to get 1-2 good draft classes in the cupboard
but then you have to bring in vets, bring in winners

IMO oil bring in lunongo , bring in a guy like morrow, make a trade for a d if its there. Then all of the sudden they are in the thick of things.


but ... nope no goalie. no d, trade vets ... smart move

"Tanking" is relying too much on luck. Pittsburgh getting Crosby and Malkin was an incredible amount of luck. Even losing the Ovechkin draft and getting Malkin instead was such a huge break. I hate when people say teams should "Tank" like the Pens. You could try 1000 times and not replicate their success in the draft.

Rnh, Hall, and Yakupov and really nice players. But as 1st overalls? Might not have been the best years to tank.

Why isn't Florida better? Columbus? Atlanta/Winnipeg? People always ignore the teams where tanking has not worked.

Boston did not tank. They built through trades, UFA signings and great second round drafting.

Are you reading what you're quoting here? My god how is that poo pooing?

Good god this moron is quoting people saying "the tank rebuild" is the best way to get talent......and trying to tell people this is poo pooing?


This just just more and more hilarious every day.

I dont even get what he's debating. The Leafs haven't rebuilt in forever. Definitely never have the proper way. And boy are they doing a great job. Dopple is jealous and bitter and doesn't like the direction of his rival team so he's just making something up to argue over. Only a fool would suggest toronto has had prospect talents like this before and failed. So I guess that says alot about the Sens poster.

He doesnt get it either.

glucker, prock, burn, system tool...biggest bunch of chin lickers on this site. To argue with Dopps and Spazo forever is disgraceful. Leafs are rebuilding the right way now... (frank)ing douchebags.
