My recent poll asking which players should the Leafs keep as they rebuild got some surprising results. For one thing only 3 players received a vote of confidence from at least 50% of respondents. Even more surprising is that some people did not think the Leafs should include Luke Schenn in their rebuild plans. I cannot get my head around that. But then so many respondents have already written off three very young players - Tlusty (20), Kulemin (22) and Stralman (22). They may not turn out to be stars but all three will likely be very useful players in about 3 years. But then respondents went the opposite direction with Pogge (22) and he registered the second most votes although his record in the minors has not been inspiring. I'm beginning to get the impression Leaf management may be looking elsewhere for their future #1 goalie.
