Sujet: Who Replaces Lou?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Lou was more that worth his value just by getting rid of Phaneuf's contract. No other GM could have pulled that off. And his insight got the Leafs Andersen, maybe no one else would have made that deal either.
Don't know what you mean by Babs "win at all costs". But his inane line matching (and often poor at it) costs the Leafs games. My desire would be Babs coaches during the day, but on game night, the Leafs have Sheldon Keefe behind the bench. Maybe Dubas is young enough not to be so impressed by what Babs did in the distance past. My opinion it isn't that impressive anyways.</div></div>

I agree with you about Lou, I love what he was able to accomplish in Toronto. It frustrates me that he was removed as GM at a pivotal point in the rebuild.
I don't believe Babs and Lou were on the same page though, Lou was filling the cupboard for the future and Babs was letting prospects rot in the cupboard.

Babs was constantly and publicly throwing Lou under the bus to improve the leafs at the trade deadline so he could win now.
In my opinion they wasted 2, 2nd round draft picks on rentals rather than filling a need going forward.
By not trading any UFA's for assets they will have an even tougher time getting the pieces they need this year.

You don't need to reward the team for playing well, that's what they get paid to do.
