The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the NHL’s most historically inept teams.
From bad trades, to insane signings, to things that are just plain confusing, you can always count on the Toronto Maple Leafs to mismanage things.
The one time they had a good GM, they trained him for years, let him learn some hard lessons, and then watched as he took all that time and effort to another team.
But I digress.
The Leafs may be on the verge of making the dumbest decision in franchise history, which, for this franchise is saying a lot. So, with that in mind, I have some ideas that are equally bad and which they could use instead, you know, assuming they are deadset on making a bad move.
Saving the Leafs From Themselves: Ideas Worse Than Trading Mitch Marner
The idea here is that the Leafs are planning on doing something dumb, and since they are the Leafs, it’s almost required by law that they do. And since I don’t want my favorite player traded, here’s some equally bad ideas they could employ instead.
One: Look, my Mom (upstairs right now making me some meatloaf) taught me that you can’t talk about other people if you can’t make fun of yourself. So let’s start this off with the worst idea in history, courtesy of me: This trade idea was universally mocked, and you know what? I deserved it.
One good thing did come of this, as I got 10% more paranoid the next day when my phone had an add for Laine and Werenski jerseys on every page I clicked on. As Gene Hackman has taught me, you can’t be too careful
This idea would clearly be worse than trading Marner, so if GM Brad Treliving is out of ideas, he’s more than welcome to take this one.
Two: Here is another horrible idea that is still better than trading Mitch Marner: Now that his career is over, hire Drake to write dis-tracks for every Leafs opponent next season. The catch is that to avoid further embarrassment, he’ll only dis teams obviously weaker than the Leafs.
