Time for the Shanaplan to go into overdrive.

I was listening to Montreal sports radio yesterday and they interviewed a Leafs beat guy (not a prominent one) and he was talking about Shanahan dumping Phil, Dion, Bozak and Lupul like it was a foregone conclusion. Good luck with that.

For a team supposedly ready for a rebuild, they have many long-term commitments.

Babcock as coach and Rob Blake as GM? If it's just about money, they'll get 'em.

This team was too fargone for Horachek to salvage anything. Problems ran beyond Carlyle.

Nonis getting canned was a matter of when, not if.

Apparently the Leafs director of amateur scouting, Dave Morrison, is still with the organization. Good fucking lord.

For what it's worth, there are two comments: One that says he was voted down constantly. If so, he should have kept records and be able to show Shanahan that it wasn't his shit storm. The other comment is that he is close with Hunter. If that's the reason that he's still there, it's stupid. The Leafs' amateur scouting results(and development of course) under him have been atrocious.

Cool, supports the idea of major player purging as well the house cleaning. May take a year yet but suspect it will happen.
