Seems like all the teams that improve do it through getting the first pick overall or very close to that. You then build a team around that star. The Leafs haven't been able to build anything in years. Sad to watch for sure.
What I find most amazing about the Leafs over the last 48 years is that they have been mediocre, for the most part, but rarely bad enough to be the worst or second worst team in the league like Edmonton has been for the past several seasons.
