Provide a well articulated plan for the future and a defined direction.

as the wise man Kevin O'Leary would say: STOP THE MADNESS!
I was a big Wilson fan until I had him as a keynote speaker somewhere and I was super disappointed.
I think O'Leary is paid to be a bit of a douche on tv. However, more often than not he is right in his response to people's ideas that they think are the next big think while in reality they are garbage and I even feel bad on my couch watching the idea lol.
There is some truth to the being at the right time in the right era stuff. Have you ever read any Malcolm Gladwell books? Outliers for example is great. Also give Blink and The Tipping Point a read. Stuff he writes makes a lot of sense once you read it.
Leafs fans could stand to be a bit less entitled and to stop behaving as if they're owed something, if you ask me.
RETIRED
The Plan:
1. Sign David Clarkson for 7 years
2. ...
3. ...
4. Profit
12 team H2H Most Cats Wins; Keep 6/winner keeps 7; G A PPP +/- SHP SOG HIT BLK PIM // W SV GAA SV% SHO
3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 6D, 2G, 5 bench
C - McDavid, Crosby, Tavares, Hertl
LW - DeBrincat, Boldy, Lafreniere
RW - Meier, Miller, Boeser, Nichushkin
D - Dobson, Karlsson
G - Jarry, Luukkonen
I'm sure the detailed plan would be incredible to hear... and then Shanahan would give Carlyle the endorsement of doom and fire him a week later. Seriously, if they did this would anyone believe them? It's easy to say you're building a through the draft and aiming to have a deep roster. Doing it is another thing. Actions speak louder than words.

What the Leafs do owe the fans is to allow another NHL team in the area! It's just ridiculous that there is only 1 team in the WORLD'S biggest and best hockey market. How dare they deprive the million or so hockey fans in this area from being able to go to a game because of their dictatorship.
Leafs owe it to their fans to call up those corporate suits and tell them to get their asses to their seats!

Not joking.
This is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, it would create a ton of jobs. Secondly, unlike a few American markets, the area would thrive. You would have 18,000 people or so, out and about the area at least 41 times a year. Most of those 18,000 people would probably just be sitting at home. Thirdly, parents may be able to actually take their kids to an NHL game. Something that probably every American parent in or near an NHL city can do annually. Lastly, how about showing some respect to your LOYAL fans by giving back instead of always taking. Why should they have this kind of control?
I understand the economics and that they obviously don't want any competition, but, they would hardly be affected by another team in the area. They have their history engraved in this city. A team in Markham, or wherever, would be amazing. It would be fitting to have that 2nd team in the worlds biggest and hottest hockey market!
