Details Surrounding Nazem Kadri Trade

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Not to interrupt the Dubas hate, but isn't it possible he regrets how he handled that and was still pretty new as a GM when that happened? I would be surprised if Dubas today handled it the same as 2nd year as a GM with market pressure to make big changes Dubas.

Folks like him don't learn. You can see a bunch of them in this very thread!

I’m curious for the day Kyle speaks out fully on what deals he felt controlled by or were nixed via Shanahan. Just based on Kadri’s accounts and even the rumours after the series. It feels like Kadri moving was a decision made above Kyle Dubas. I believe that call was made by Shanahan. The timing of the deal felt rushed and everything too. Still a bad deal by Dubas in hindsight but I’d be curious to see who ultimately decided the Leafs need to move on from Kadri.

Not me. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
Such a low character, dislikable person.

The guy is such a strange mix of corporate Machiavellian operator, university TA out to save the world and mediocre GM.

I was involved in a major labour reduction, 30% of the headcount was being laid off.

In the middle of a Sunday, final planning session before announcing the layoffs, the boss running the whole reduction got pulled out of the meeting and walked out right then and there.

He was part of the layoffs, but he didn’t know until he had already done his part organizing the others layoffs.

It’s just business

I think if one has been around any real company for more than a few years, they know/have these stories.

In the corporate culture everyone is a temp.

I believe what Kadri is saying. Dubas always came across as a phony, a snake. They should have kept Kadri at 2c for 4.5 instead of signing Tavares. That ruined the Leafs for the last 7 years.

Personally not all that curious to hear from Kyle and get little tidbits on why he was handcuffed into making poor decisions from Lou or Shanahan.

it wouldn't be in support of him, but I am curious to understand the dynamic. I'd also like to hear Shanahan's unfiltered account of his tenure. Somewhere along the road something went wrong and a lot of poor decisions were made.
