That 500K every in cap savings over the course of the deal a 7 and a 5th or a 6th are not mid round picks. Dubas did great in this. Dubas could have resigned him.

This is a joke right?
We lost one of our top players and received nothing for it.
Zero.
In what universe can that be considered "great" ?

Yeah I don't think Dubas needs to plan much further ahead than this season.
If the team doesn't perform, he's sacked.
And he knows it.
Instead he just selfishly squandered an opportunity to salvage some assets for a player he couldn't afford to keep.

There are possibly several including this one depending on whether universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wavefunction collapse. Clearly in the one we are currently in though . We lost a free agent. Other teams lost free agents, some of them top players. Only Goodrow returned something and that was for exclusive rights. We could have got something back, but Holland didn't step up and pay the price.

And if Dubas had taken the 5th and 7th, how many of the anti-Dubas crowd would have complained that he was horrible because he could have gotten more?
Do we know if the Leafs broke off the negotiations or the Oilers? I could see the Oilers simply saying at some point “That’s it. We’ll simply do 7 years. All offers are off the table.”

Lets Review - 2 draft picks on a player your not going to resign vs Nothing ... hmmmmmmmm
Dubas is simply not an NHL Caliber GM and he proves it everyday ....
If Super Kyle wasnt willing to male a deal with anyone ... then why did he allow teams to speak with his player prior to signing period ?
I think if you know you are going to lose Hyman for nothing, even a 7th rounder is better than nothing.
Having said that, I do see your point.

two draft picks in exchange for saving the oilers a couple mill on cap. You better get back at least a second. Anything less. Let him sign the 7 year deal.

Didn't you see Dubas' work in the 2020 draft. He traded for 4-5 picks prior to the 2020 draft.
Hes never had an issue with collecting draft picks.
It's who they draft and their big 3 signings that are the real issues with this team, but ppl like to carry on about stuff like this that doesn't really matter.
By getting nothing.
2022 Draft........no 3rd, no 4th, no 5th, no 6th, and, if one of his longshot acquisitions actually works out, no 7th
What a shrewd businessman.

Yes, currently the Leafs have only two picks in the 22 draft. A first and a second. Possibly a 7th, even then if we lose the 7th we would have gotten a guy with more upside and closer to playing than we would have got with the 7th.By getting nothing.

The team your dealing with is in another division ... Make a deal!

Imagine having to convince yourself that NOTHING is greater than SOMETHING.
And not just that but then having to go on the internet and trying to convince other people of that, too.
Amazing

Could you imagine? Even worse, people convincing themselves that SOMETHING is NOTHING and like the other people you are talking about, going on the internet and trying to convince other people of that, too.Imagine having to convince yourself that NOTHING is greater than SOMETHING.

Except one of us is grounded in reality.
5th round pick + 7th round pick >>>> receiving nothing
You're attempting to argue the opposite.
As you can see, basically no one agrees with this completely outlandish idea.
You're obviously just trying to pull our legs though.
Appreciate the attempt at abstract humour.

just when you think Dubie's performance couldn't go any worse he manages to drive it lower
nothing wrong with holding out for more but at the end of the day you take the best offer and move on , coming out of this with nothing is just pathetic

The sad truth is that there are more than a couple of people that do agree with this madness.
