Siegel: The Maple Leafs should sell at the trade deadline

At this point in the season, the Leafs need to weigh the short-, medium- and long-term future.
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving strode into the team’s practice rink earlier this week with a special guest: Keith Pelley, the president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, otherwise known as Treliving’s boss.
It was a rare occurrence to see the two men who run the Leafs watching practice together, and doing so at a crucial time — shortly before the March 6 trade deadline, when the team must choose a direction for the season.
The plan should already be clear: The Leafs need to sell.
Welp, we've had a good (regular season) run.
Sell what? The Leafs have no prospects, no draft pics, and no decent players that don't have a no movement clause.
They very much need to sell, it's been true for a long time now. It need to include the ones at the top too.
Dig in, its rebuild time. If they have the guts to do the right thing, of course.
