Luke Richardson comes to Toronto to retire

Well, that is it then. MLSE needs to make the playoffs this year, not that there is any realistic shot of doing any real damage.

So instead of amassing draft picks the Maple Leafs will once again be helping other teams rebuild.

If anyone cares to listen, the NY Rangers set the precedent on how to quickly rebuild. Yes, it takes sacrifice. Yes the team will probably miss the play-offs. But look what happens when you get hordes of draft picks and prospects.

And if Luke Richardson is sold as anything but a, and I quote, "short-term Band-Aid"....oh yeah, and Ondrus was sent back down...I'm going home. I am so pissed right now.
