When Brendan Shanahan came aboard, I made a quick passing comment about understanding selling low and selling high with the Toronto Maple Leafs players and cashing in on inflated value when the opportunity presents itself. The Leafs have made a habit of overpaying their own players after career years—for big money—then trading them for absolutely nothing once their play comes back down.

Randy Carlyle is still twisting in the wind as the Maple Leafs' head coach despite some damning quotes from the new boss. YES! MT @Hope_Smoke: Shanahan with Paul Hendrick "There are some good pieces here. Sometimes pieces are misused or mismanaged"” — 67Sound (@67sound) April 16, 2014 For now, let's look into another available head coach candidate, former Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette (fired after his team's 0-3 start earlier in the season), with Eric T. of Broad Street Hockey.
