The best asset managers know when to sell.

MLSE has chosen the direction that will make them money. Play-in, playoffs instead of a tear down and a proper rebuild around Barnes.

We can't afford to re-sign Poetl, Gary and FVV - someone's gotta go today.

Leafs rebuilt. MLSE not wanting a rebuild might be a misnomer.

I'm thinking the OG trade is all but inevitable. Probably going to Pels/Blaz/Grizz. I still like the Pels and the Blazers offers better than what Memphis can provide.

Yak, Pascal and Scottie frontcourt is just a gross frontcourt. No one can shoot at all.

Don’t the Raptors generate more money than the Leafs? I read that the Raptors are more valuable surprisingly.

I will forgive the FO choosing the Play-In direction if FVV is dealt today.

That's the part I don't understand. Interestingly enough, the guys who are on the block are shooters.
