Not even the most optimistic Leafs fan can look at the sorry state of their team and think the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to turn things around and become a contender. Since the lockout, there have been bad trades, bad signings and bad management brought on board that still finds a way to be the most profitable team in the league.

Everyone has already discussed to death what the Leafs need to do to end the misery and turn things around, so let's recap:

1. Fire JFJ. He stinks.
2. Richard Peddie needs to bring in an experienced GM, like Scotty Bowman (too late) or even Pat Quinn, give him full autonomy to rebuild and realize it'll take 2-3 seasons before they're remotely competitive. Don't try to squeak into 8th place only to be knocked out in 10 days post-season. Rebuild from scratch.
3. Trade Sundin and get the most you can for him. By all means re-sign him during the summer to help groom the new prospects in the Marlies system if he wants to come back.
4. Find a way, somehow, to dump the contracts of Pavel Kubina, Bryan McCabe, Andrew Raycroft, Darcy Tucker and Robert Blake. They all stink.

Simple right? Now go do it.
