The Leafs rebuilding process is going to take more than drafting a couple players, give Fletcher time and I trust he can deliver some offensive power to the team.

Agreed.
That, and Leafs need a big strong stay at home defenceman that will finally hit somebody out there and have needed one for years.
I don't care less about his offencive game - and I mean it. If he gets 10-20 points a season but plays like an absolute rock in his own end of the rink, I'll be thrilled. It's about freakin' time if you ask me!
Stay the heck away from my goalie you son of a gun!:
