    Default Leafs Should Make Jordan Staal the First Step of Rebuild

    O.K, I know a lot of people are going to see this and immediately say that Jordan Staal has a career high of 50 points and that therefore he is in fact not a #1 centre, and is not as good as I am going to suggest he is in this article. But give me five minutes here and see if I can’t bring you around to my way of thinking.

    I'll bite.

    First off, nice food for thought. But my initial reaction is - if the Leafs are going for a "Staal" it should be Eric... or both Staal brothers in a combo meal. The problem with that is, how do the Leafs land them without mortgaging a huge amount of their future? Seems like a quick-fix attempt. Even with a Staal or two, I don't think the Leafs will contend for a Cup. And if not, does it make more sense to stay the course and continue a 4-5 year rebuild?
