I'd like to see the following: salary cap removed George Steinbrenner as our team owner (reincarnate him) Leafs with the highest payroll in the NHL (ideally larger than the bottom 10-15 teams combined) Leafs become the first team to win 70 games in the regular season Leafs players win every single award at the NHL awards The all-star team for the East is comprised only of Leafs players with a few players from other teams as scratches. Leafs win four consecutive Stanley Cups in the modern era to become the last pro sports dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Allotting large chunks of your available resources to achieving equal market value pushes you towards mediocrity, rather than success, as you have less room to make undercutting moves and create gains." Some wise words there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we bring back King Clancy, make him fat and obnoxious and tell him Dave Keon is more popular than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 the goalie in nets for Darryl Sittler's ten point game was Dave Reese. Ever heard of him? I thought not. He was so upset by his performance that later that night he tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a speeding train! . . . . . . . . It went right between his legs.
