<p>Three seasons ago, <a href="http://www.wealthmass.com/Sports-outdoors/NHL-jerseys-NHL-jersey-Hockey-Jerseys-Hockey-jerseys/Toronto-Maple-Leafs/">Toronto Maple Leafs</a>. head coach Ron Wilson was asked how his team would win games without a definitive primary scoring option. Of course, this before Mikhail Grabovski or Nikolai Kulemin were considered consistent threats, and before the Leafs acquired Phil Kessel. The coach responded with the words, "scoring by committee.</p>
<p>" As you may know by now, that "plan" didn't pan out so well with the Leafs battling for 10th in the Eastern Conference for most of the season. Now, getting to my point of the article,(<a href="http://www.wealthmass.com/sale/Toronto-Maple-Leafs--81-Phil-Kessel-1094.html">Phil Kessel</a>) could the Leafs revisit the idea of scoring by committee? Perhaps instead of paying the farm for a top line center, could the Leafs maybe sign two or three lower-grade options to boost us to the playoffs? You may have read them, but I have written two recent articles about the Leafs acquiring their coveted top-line pivot (or another premier forward), but I came to the realization that perhaps finally, instead of trading away our farm, we should see what we have and let our prospects properly develop. Now, I understand the frustration of playoff-less Leafs seasons, but it's now realistic to say that scoring by committee is now a viable option. The mistake with the choice last time was that the Leafs realized too late that they didn't have a plan 'B', and ultimately it cost them. In the present, they have an opportunity to allow Matt Frattin, Joe Colborne, Nazem Kadri and Jerry D'Amigo among others to properly develop, to not be rushed into the <a href="http://www.wealthmass.com/Sports-outdoors/NHL-jerseys-NHL-jersey-Hockey-Jerseys-Hockey-jerseys/">Nhl Jerseys</a>, something the Leafs' prospects have been deprived of in recent years. </p>
<p>They can realize plan 'B' can actually be plan 'A' from the start. So, if we were to score by committee, we would obviously have to bring aboard some lower-grade, scoring free agents to fulfill the idea. A model I used for this post was none other than the Stanley Cup finalist (hopefully champions!), Boston Bruins. </p>
