Does dubas remain GM if the leafs get bounced by Florida?

[hockeyes]

do not agree.

there are more than 1 team in the NHL that do not have dubas as their GM that have managed to have successful regular and post season and some have made cup appearances and won cups too.

Dubas isn't Einstein who is going to change the face of already established facts in the field; dubas is not going to re-invent hockey, although he tried to do that and failed miserably.

That is kinda my point, I think he will be more pragmatic going forward if he has learned his lessons. So letting him go just allows another team to benefit from all his good attributes without having to suffer his terrible ones.

You're not, so why do you even care?

I am a fan of this team
I am mad because they haven't won

 

[Leafshater67]

Bwahahahaha.....oh....your serious

Please elaborate. I’m curious to see what’s so funny about my criticism of signing guys to deals just to carry them to UFA when we see the obvious strategy for most teams is to lock their young stars up long term.

Bridge deals aren’t top dollar deals. You sign those to save money but if you’re not saving money or getting term, you basically get a Matt Tkachuk situation where he calls the shots. Terrible handling of that situation.

 

[Shooter2x]

Out of the 16 playoff teams Leafs are 15th in CF% , 13th in FF%, 13th in SF%, 13th in GF%, 10th in xGF%, 15th in SCF%, 14th in HDGF% and 15th in HDSV%



And we're discussing re-signing the GM


This feels like a /thread moment

 

[sunstersun]

We don't even have that much talent. We're lucky Knies is so good otherwise what is our LW next year?

Do we have a replacement for Holl, Gio, and Brodie?

I agree with everything you just said here but in the text I was replying to you said M&M would hopefully take team friendly deals....hence my bwhahaha thinking that is funny cause I dont think they will

 

[sunstersun]

Marner on 2 years, Selke candidate, is much more valuable than Nylander right?

 

[wingman75]

I want to keep Dubas but get rid of Keefe if we lose.

I suspect that will be the play, along with 1 major trade.

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood. I doubt it either but all we can do is hope because of how bad Dubas messed up on the only chance he had power over them.

[nuck]

I would rather see a 4-0, 4-1 series loss than a game #6 or #7 series. A longer series will give ownership and media all the ammo they need to extend this nightmare another three to four years.


Top priority this summer imo.

I dont believe KD survives a loss to the Panthers. Cinderella team or not Fla is 18th overall. Its not over yet but Sami has to be better than just okay.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I wouldn't mind seeing Nylander join him in the exodus. Long overdue.

 

[Dragao6]

Over reacts…….we just lost 2 straight games at home to start the series. Do you think they will win 4 of the next 5 games against this team?

I do believe Florida has won 5 straight games and that included Boston!!
Unlike the Tampa series I think we showed we are better outside of the brain farts by our stars

I do think keefe and nylander are both gone and if dubas can’t do it he’s also gone. Marner I could see but doubt it and you just don’t trade a matthews.

Wouldn’t be against a Quenville or Gallant but This is my answer
Open cheque

Toronto lost to Montreal in the Canadian division, they were 18th overall to…a pattern I see

regardless of who comes back, the leafs are screwed.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Dubas stays but I'd imagine keefe goes tbh

 

[HolyCrap]

heck if the leafs win the cup I will get A Dubas Tattoo,and post a poll where hfleafs can vote to pick its location!

I vote for a tramp stamp that says “property of Dubas”.

 

[Squiffy]

Never try to play an online poker tourney at the same time as trying to figure out the schedule for the coming week with a zillion kids activities with the wife. I'm just saying, pretty much blinded myself out.

Fire everyone, fire the Bear, he reminds me of Gilmour and Clark that didn't win a Cup either and shouldn't be bothered to be thought of. Totally on topic.

I haven't been paying attention to these but that is pretty bad when you consider the "% of time trailing" stat Sportsnet keeps shoving in our face.

Hence why I keep pushing the idea a select few players keep saving Scooby Doo's ass.

Why in the world do we need to consider anything else, it's straight up bad on it's own

Well I mean for my quest to show that Dubas sucks and keeps getting saved by a core we don't need him to have, I have pretty much all the evidence I need right now to be untouchable with this statement. The % trailing stat is nail in the coffin for that. I don't need to explain why.

People knock us for losing round 1 again last season but I find it admirable our core was able to dominate Tampa's core to even push it to 7 games. Dubas supporting cast always sucks and offers nothing. Dubas deserved to be swept. Core deserved better.

Nobody even @'s me any more because they know they have no ammo to battle me. Dubas provided them with nothing besides "because I say so".

They need you to do the dirty work for them defending the core to death, so probably give you space and freedom to rip on Dubas lol

Dubas can go take a nap during the games for all I care. Matthews Marner Nylander Rielly and JT don't need him to win this cup. But if we did have a competent GM, it would go more to the "guaranteed" end for winning.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

I find it absolutely hilarious that folks here are willing to blame the players and coach but not the GM; the only one who has refused to move a core piece or fire the coach

just WOW

I’ll never understand the argument “Dubas can’t play the games for them”. I guess organizational accountability starts at the bottom now?

You know, this statement actually hits harder when you consider the goaltending they had to deal with too, courtesy of Dubas.

He doesn't even give them a top 4 D this year man. They lose Muzzin and he does nothing. Even when we had Muzzin we needed a top 4 still!

This guy is Ebenezer Scrooge pinching with his money puck garbage. Justin Holl xGF% ass is sitting in the press box now.
