Leafs Short Sighted?

"In the article on Globesports.com, David Shoalts discusses the words of Part Owner Larry Tanenbaum and the insistence of an experienced, veteran GM whenever they find someone to eventually replace current GM Cliff Fletcher.

One of the candidates Tanenbaum completely ruled out was none other than the great Steve Yzerman. The reasoning? He would be a rookie GM thus not meeing the standard of experience set.

“Steve needs to be a general manager some place (else),” said Tanenbaum, who stopped by the Leafs' practice on Thursday. “We don't want a rookie.” said Tanenbaum.

The short sightedness of the Maple Leaf organization continues to boggle the mind of many."
