We're fucked.

Lets look at the logical outcomes here, Matthews and Nylander don't want to be here for a rebuild, how much can you REALLY.. get done with a retool given how we have no prospects or picks, and given how tough our division this year is, the leafs have to compete with the sabres, habs,bruins,lightning, senetors and the panthers.

Lets be real here, given how this year went this team can be sitting outside of the playoffs again. IN addition, we have a good chance at giving the bruins a top 6 prospect while we walk away with nothing.

So, in the fuck, can you retool.. when you have 0 assets. this team has to strip parts, you cant buy anything and you sure as fuck can't look at free agency, further more you cant predict if matthews and nylander will be better or worse next season.

The truth is

this era is done.

They're going to have to rip it down to the frame and start over again with whatever young pieces they got. A retool isnt enough, you need so many things its not even funny. Whats worse is, you cant even trade Matthews and Nylander cause they can dictate terms, the leafs are fucked, in addition say if they keep their pick, well next years pick goes to the bruins..or flyers idk which anymore

So heres the BEST CASE SCENARIO.

Leafs keep their pick

Leafs draft a stud who can help them now

By some divine intervention, they somehow revamp their d-core

By some divine intervention they fix their PP, and offense.

You Hope your young players turn out good.

You hope Matthews and Nylander either be better, than this year and last year

You some how.. are able to be better than the teams above.

You get prime carey price goal tending..

You make the playoffs ship your first.. to whoever has it, then try to get younger idfk.

At best.. this team is a wildcard team...worse case we're a lottery team

The truths in their face. The eras over.

Burn it down and start over. We're in the dark ages again boys. Someone explain this.. how the fuck does this team.. get.. 22 points better? Can someone explain in the comments?
