		<description>Hi, Steve.

Thanks for your comment.

I agree ... getting their competent GM should&#039;ve been a priority this past summer when MLSE first entertained the thought and made preliminary inquiries re: an &quot;advisor&quot; for JFJ. 

Alas, they chose not to go in this direction. 

But, with Fletcher in place now ... and before they trade away their best player &amp; Captain ... what they need to do next is replace Paul Maurice, who has been directly responsible for this team&#039;s:

1) lack of motivation 
2) weak defensive play (5-on-5), and
3) terrible Specialty Teams 

from game-to-game.

Top priorities for the Leafs should have been:

A) A new GM (done, with Fletcher)
B) A new head coach ... ?
C) Removing the dead-weight from their roster (Raycroft, McCabe &amp; Tucker) ... ?
D) A new Scouting Staff to rebuild from the ground up with Draft Picks ...? 

Acquiring draft picks &amp; young players is a waste of time w/o a top notch head coach &amp; a superior scouting staff.</description>

		<description>Meh, making a coaching change is far from the most pressing need right now for the Leafs. Getting that competent, experienced GM should had been the priority last summer, but because of Richard Peddy&#039;s insistence that JFJ was the right guy for the job that didn&#039;t happen.</description>
