The core of the team needs to get younger. Ridding of Mccabe and Tucker and Sundin's fence straddling helps in that area. Once Blake is in the minors the core will truly be young. Leaf fans can tolerate losing but they will not tolerate losing without honour or effort and giving opponents an easy 2 points.
