At this point in the season, the Leafs need to weigh the short-, medium- and long-term future.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving strode into the team’s practice rink earlier this week with a special guest: Keith Pelley, the president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, otherwise known as Treliving’s boss.

It was a rare occurrence to see the two men who run the Leafs watching practice together, and doing so at a crucial time — shortly before the March 6 trade deadline, when the team must choose a direction for the season.

The plan should already be clear: The Leafs need to sell.
