He eventually ended up in jail.
they're all selling wolf tickets, ignore the shill merchants, they're pathetic..........
Walks like a duck, talks like a duck then it probably is a duck.
As long as he stays away from the Sens. I'm worried Pitts will tell him no thanks and the media will act like he said no because he wants the Sens.
if she's from the Soo she'll know what a slag pile smells like..........
And bankrupted two businesses if I recall correctly.
it does make one feel sorry for the posters over on the Pen's board, they don't deserve the Dubas disciples nor their threat clogging drivel about by wonder..........
Mirtle has always been critical of Dubas's decisions on his podcast lolMirtle and Chris Johnston are both pro Dubas and now their meal ticket has dried up so now their posting and claiming all inside knowledge of Shanny blocked trades and Shanny promises to players and when pressed for more details they have none etc.
Sounds like they need to drive traffic to their pod and sites as reporters, and tossing some monkey wrenches to create more chaos for Leafs post Dubas.
It's possible that Dubas' ask was so far out of left field that the immediate response was,
Couple of points for discussion, while we all reserve judgement.
Chris Johnston is very pro Dubas based on his reporting, but how would Johnston get inside info of private conversations between Shanny and the core 4?
Does CJ have these players on speed dial to contact them 24/7, so then after hearing Shanny was making calls, decided I'd better call up Auston, Mitch, WIlly and Johnny and ask them personally to tell him what Leafs President told them in private behind Leafs closed doors. So then are we to believe all 4 core Leafs players leaked that info to CJ so he could go public with his insider info? If that remote fact was even plausible would Shanny have a bigger problem because of trust and confidence issues of his core players going outside the team to relay information to the media?
How else would Chris Johnston get this exclusive scoop no one else did, and be able to make his claim of knowing what Shanahan said directly to them without asking them?
What experienced and reputable GM would take on a new job and have 1/2 the teams salary cap tied to 4 players that he is told is outside of his control and untouchable?
Second, Leafs don't even have a coach yet in place, so would it be wise prior to getting and having input Shanny has already tied the new GMs hands so anyone taking the job would be informed by Shanny these 4 players are untouchable because (reporter Chris Johnston) claims I made them a promise they would not be traded so as GM you work on the bottom end of the roster only?
Shanny would essentially be looking for his new puppet to put in the GM chair when he himself is really the acting GM making the important decisions.
That's the trick with fortunetellers, seers, predictors, and the like - thrown out enough vague guesses, and have different people make different predictions, and in most cases people will remember what came true (which guesses were close enought to be called 'right'), and forget about the others.
And then sign AM 34 as a UFA. Pens may be signing Dubas to get the bigger prize in 12 months... or sooner could also be traded there. He gets past July 1st he can say not signing guys but will accept a trade to Pens and no one else.... What do you do then?
The Pens don't have enough cap space for Matthews. Non-issue. And Matthews isn't nearly in love with Dubas to move to Pittsburgh of all places lol.
IF the go the hawks route and trade off assets they can have plenty of space. As it is they will have 37M+ of space on July 1 2024. If Dubas ends up in Pittsburgh I would not be shocked to see Nylander or Matthews follow come July 1 2024
Honestly thanks to this thread and the post about Nick Cousins, my Timmy's picks tonight are Tkachuk, Staal (cuz I hate him), Cousins.Going to be awkward when Nick Cousins shows up at the next Soo Alumni event with Dubas and Keefe there.
Would have been even more Soo related 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon separation, if former Soo goalie and Nick Cousins teammate Matt Murray was in net.

I think if Dubas is smart, he's already been talking to Peter Horachek about a comeback to NHL coaching.
