No chance at the playoffs for the Leafs?

(I am wrighting this as of December 31st, 2007, morning). What I think, is that as of now, the Leafs don’t have a chance at the playoffs.  Well let’s look at it here, for the first half of the season (2007

Is it time to trade Sundin and other big assets?

The Quickest Fix for Leafs.

Frankly, this season is done. Sure the leafs could have an above average second half, make the playoffs and get knocked out in the first round with the team they have, but WHY?
