I doubt I'll ever make sense of this deal, a rebuilding team trades a good young goalie with tons of potential, yet keeps an old goalie who is lucky to even be in the league, and definitely isn't a starter.

I think it'll be as said above... long, slow rebuild. And hope to hell that some of your lower than 1st rounders develop into sleeper players. But Leaf nation is loyal so their fan base will shrink a little but it'll never go away.
