Wilson Slowing down the Rebuild

Ron Wilson the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs should be fired because he is delaying the development of young players and slowing down the rebuild taking place in Toronto. The Leafs must fire Wilson and bring in coach that plays the young players, and gives a positive outlook rather than bashing his players. Players who are going to be the future of the franchise should have a better opportunity. Players like James Riemer and Keith Aulie should be given more playing time than long time net minder Jean Sebastian Giguere and defenceman Mike Komisarek. Both young prospects have better stats this season then their veteran competition. Prospect need to given the chance to grow and be pushed. Ron Wilson doesn't give rookies a chance to play because of his stubborn attitude.

The Toronto Maple Leaf do have the youngest roster in the NHL but that does not mean they have prospects and a good future. Those who follow hockey will immediately say that Brian Burke's fault (The Maple Leafs General Manager) for not bringing in strong prospects. That is incorrect, Kids only become better when their have a proper teacher. Its not how much potential and player has it's how much potential can be brought out by the teacher or in this case the coach.

The Leafs need a positive outlook in the club house, a reassuring coach someone who is all about development, someone that in willing forget about the now and look to the future. Coaches like Joe Sacco with the Colorado Avalanche and Dan Bylsma in Pittsburgh are just a few good examples. These coaches never worried about winning they just focused on developing their prospects and winning came later. They worked on get as much out of the young players as possible, pushing them to their limits. Wilson is not a positive coach that focuses on growing his players, Wilson is too focused on making the playoffs.

Ron Wilson should be fired he has spent to much time in Toronto, he has lost his way with the organization, he does not relate well with his young players , He needs to moved out.
