If you are familiar with the last 20 years of Leaf history,  you would recognize that what Shanahan, Babcock and all are doing is different this time around....unless it is not and they do something as stupid as trading Nylander this year.  If they go down that path, then this regime is no different.  But the actions of Shanahan would indicate otherwise.  And the toughest part of accepting change is the willingness to recognize when things are different and avoid the "here we go again" syndrome.  It is too easy to go with the flow of the common perception that this approach is no different from the past.  Actions would indicate otherwise - complete clearing house, drafting and growing young talent, elite coaching and scouting, and not trading away the future.  If they keep on that path, there is a chance of breaking the past behaviour.  If not, it is indeed the same old some old.
