Now the Oilers have to chop their executives and keep the coach who at least got the players going after Eakins.
I've gotta say, "Who cares about the Leafs?" Then I have to agree with the first poster. Low and MacT need to go.
Kevin Lowe needs to be shown the door ASAP.
As for the Leafs, they are just a fascinating trainwreck with this off-season perhaps the most interesting one for them to date.
What can they get for Kessel? What can they get for Phaneuf? Do they trade a goalie? Do they trade Bozak?
Will they offer Babcock coach and GM.
Let the cards start to fall.
