This year they go out and get Toskala and Blake, big deal, if there's no defense, what's the point? And top everything off, most of the team has a no trade clause, so how can things really change any time in the near future?
If they would get rid of JFJ, that would be a good start!!!

Lets see if this passes the stink test. First let me say the leafs right now and since the lockout haven't been very good. Missing the playoffs 2 years in a row says so.
BUT... Compare the Canadian teams since 1998 and only 1 team has played more playoff hockey then the Toronto Maple Leafs and that team has yet to defeat the leafs in a playoffs. But I suspect that this year they would
The numbers since 98
Ottawa - 15 playoff rounds
Toronto - 13 playoff rounds (missed PO last 2 years.)
Edmonton - 8 playoff rounds (missed PO 01, 03 and 06)
Vancouver - 7 playoff rounds (missed PO 98,99 and 06)
Calgary - 6 playoff rounds ( missed PO 7 years in a row, 96 to 03)
Montreal - 5 playoff rounds ( missed PO 98,99,00,02 and 06)
Cup apperances for all 6 teams since 98, 3
Cup wins for all 6 teams since 98, 0
Yes, something stinks
