Salary Cap: Dr Dubas Cap Thread: He wants the Nurse

[Andy99]

Is Dubas going to do anything bold for a young player, or are we just gonna make a few draft picks and sign a couple yahoos in free agency? I’m guessing it’s the latter with a Nurse sprinkled in lol…it feels like he’s a bit of a coward …

Dubas will do what comes across his desk

It is a weak shtick, but it's been my hot take that he's done exactly ZERO time in the driver's seat on any of his trades. It's all situations that other teams or players have presented to him.

Not just pens tenure, I don't think he orchestrated a real trade in TOR either

He can draft and it's able to find good fits, mostly, but when it comes to other GMs, he's not in control

I do find this whole “players would rather play in markets where the media is less obnoxious” amusing because players in other leagues don’t care about that.

‘Toughest players in the world’ until the media and fans may say something mean about them.

Players don't give a shit about fans or media in any market, media just tries to spin a narrative that players care so they feel powerful. A player will be the consensus top five player, ever, in the world and dog the f*** out of their game for six weeks, to save energy for an ego trip to the Olympics, then sit there and act like sometimes the puck goes your way sometimes you're bounced from the playoffs by the Flyers like a bunch of bitches, and go home to their millions on their bed

Edit; lol, i should read more replies before I chime in. Also, dead giveaway that anything this seismic would even be rumored and HF’s servers had not already gone full Three Mile Island
