Terrible choice.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Yikes. Well, let's hope.

 

[Judas Tavares]

As the young people say, many here will be triggered by this news.

I, for one, welcome our new young overlord

 

[Peasy]

Good choice.

"Babcock won't want to take orders from Dubas."

Gotta love all the hilarious hot takes the past week.

Brendan Shanahan, President and Alternate Governor of the @MapleLeafs, announced today that Kyle Dubas has been named the 17th General Manager in the Club’s history. #TMLtalk

 

[Mugzy97]

They wouldn't do this unless the whole organization felt he could do a great job. So I have faith in Dubas because I have no reason not to.

Congrats Dubas!

 

[LeafChief]

Bye Bye Polak.

 

[ACC1224]

Expected. He better not mess things up.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Good. I'm not surprised but I am very happy. I thought this would have waited a bit longer to be decided though

 

[Fogelhund]

An announcement that everyone knew was going to happen, three years ago.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

As expected

 

[HockeyThoughts]

Yikes. Well, let's hope.

Lol what possible reason would you have to think this is a "yikes" scenario?

 

[bluumax]

Surely nobody is surprised by this?

Either way; we'll see how it goes.

 

[ACC1224]

Lol what possible reason would have to think this is a "yikes" scenario?

No track record to think otherwise. He has to earn trust.

 

[Censored23]

If Lou did his job well instructing/training Dubie, then i dont see a problem. Hoping Lou stays on as adviser just to keep the mentorship going.

 

[Buds17]

Surprising news...or not so much. Hope he does really well in the role.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

No track record to think otherwise. He has to earn trust.

There's no track record to think yikes. He's done plenty of good

 

[Walshy7]

But but he never played the game!!!

I guess that twitter account with 163 followers is about to get a ton more today.

I welcome the choice of Dubas, if hunter wants to sulk and leave so be it. Plenty of scouts out there, he hasn’t found any players where you can say “oh wow he is a super scout” right now every player has progressed as picked. Losing hunter won’t be that big of a deal

 

[HockeyThoughts]

No track record to think otherwise. He has to earn trust.

Once upon a time Scotty Bowman had no track record as well

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I'm guessing they won't say anything about Hunter until after the draft. Let's hope he doesn't really want to be GM and would rather have less responsibility and figure out the Leafs drafting.

 

[Lethalsniper007]

I can see lots of Marlies players making the team next year

Stoked. A bright young mind who spent a couple years learning from one of the greatest of all time. Maybe it’s a disaster, maybe he’s our Theo Epstein. Hell of a lot better than hiring some old school type to give 7 year contracts to plugs. Only time will tell.
