The last time the Leafs made the trek to Montreal they picked up a future NHL superstar.

Welcome to another installment of "Be a GM/Coach" where you faithful, huddled, unwashed masses, get to have your say. Sure, professional Coaches and GMs have a wealth of experience and education to draw upon. Of course they have contacts who know the ins and outs of the game.
