During the 1979-80 season, general manager Punch Imlach waged war against his own players, trashing them in the media and banning them from making TV appearances to show that he was in charge. Team captain Darryl Sittler, one of Imlach's favorite targets, was defiant. Because Sittler was protected by a no-trade clause, Imlach instead traded valued line mate and Sittler's best friend Lanny McDonald.

After more of Sittler's friends and allies were traded, he resigned as captain and demanded a trade. As a result, one of the greatest Maple Leafs in history became a Philadelphia Flyer.
