Should they try to stay in the race, or sell for a quick reboot to ultimately strengthen the franchise for years to come? Jonas and James debate this important issue and look at the development of Easton Cowan, how the Leafs have fared without Morgan Rielly.

The Maple Leafs are free falling and Craig Berube's job continues to hang by a thread. Auston Matthews is a shell of the top line player that he once was. The Leafs powerplay, once lethal is now predictable. William Nylander hasn't scored a goal in December. Jonas Siegel and Dom Luszczyszyn try to get to the bottom of why this has happened and if there is any way out of this nightmare, for the 15th best team in the NHL's Eastern Conference.
