The one guy there getting back is a former first round pick, and though the other two guys are likely 3rd and 4th liners of which the leafs don't need anymore of, there at least solid players with still some upside left. Gotta pay the price to change the culture. In that vein, the leafs are doing fine.
Lack of culture = lack of talent.
I hate it when the media blames character and culture change when the Leafs are constantly rolling out scrub lines out there and trying to compete with them.
