Former Maple Leaf Torches Shanahan In Epic Rant
Former Toronto Maple Leaf Jay Rosehill took the opportunity today to share his displeasure for Brendan Shanahan. Rosehill's first point of contention was the idea that the Maple Leafs are going to once again trade valuable assets for rental players.
"Once again I don't have enough to make that claim. I don't want to sell the farm for a UFA defenseman that has no term, that's a rental. Then it doesn't work out and they play like they've played the past five seasons in the playoffs. Now, we've lost our first rounder and Cowan and Minten, players that have heart and jam who almost made the team out of training camp who out shined everybody. Now we lost them and we're worse than we left off as." - Jay Rosehill on the idea of trading prospects for rentals

At this point, it seems that Rosehill is fed up with Shanahan and his philosophies toward building a team. He says that Shanahan has not provided the fans with anything during his ten seasons at the helm of the Maple Leafs.
"Unless something wild happens in the playoffs this year, it's like [Shanahan], the Shanaplan, ten years of basically nothing to show for it. What have you given us? Why should I stay on team Shanahan? You haven't done anything for us fans." - Jay Rosehill on the Maple Leafs GM Brendan Shanahan not delivering on his plan to this fanbase over the past ten seasons.
With all of his frustration, Rosehill did provide a solution that he feels will give fans hope and a new way forward for the future.
Former Maple Leaf Devises A Plan To Fix The Maple Leafs
After complaining about Shanahan, Jay Rosehill did provide a solution that others in the past have brought forward as well. Rosehill believes breaking up the core four is the key to the rejuvenation of the fan base and the team.
I'm done with the core four eating up massive amounts of the salary cap and not having the pieces in place. How are we supposed to get a stud defenseman to make noise in the playoffs? We're not giving up Minten, Cowan, Knies, our a first rounder. Maybe it's time to break this core up so we're not handcuffed." - Jay Rosehill on what this team should do with the core 4.
This is an opinion that many people in the fan base share will Rosehill. At this point though it does not seem likely that the Maple Leafs plan is to break up the core four.
It would be interesting to see if breaking up the core four would actually bring excitement and hope back to the fanbase.
