Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas Not Returning

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Yeah I didn't think there was a path back after what he said. Not overly sorry to see him go but I just hope they get a good replacement and it's not just Pridham

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Anyway, I hate this market and when some guns blazing GM comes in and blows up the team and we’re back to consistently missing the playoffs I’m sure everyone will be very happy.

 

[Warden of the North]

Full scale change incoming I would say.

I'm here for it.

 

[Rob Brown]

Guessing this was his choice vs. ownership not wanting him back.

Also guessing that Keefe is gone whenever we sign the new GM, who will probably be worse than Dubas.

Burden should be on the playoffs here, not Dubas.

 

[Morgs]

I hate it here

Hopefully we have high picks to talk about at least?

 

[DarkKnight]

Hopefully it is Pridham, if only because we need to hit the ground running. The draft is key for us, trade wise, no time to figure it out.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Hopefully it means Pridham is getting promoted. CJ said on the recent Steve Dangle Podcast that it’ll be easier to sign Matthews if it’s the same front office that he likes and has a good relationship with.

But why do we need to coddle the stars like that? The team needs a shakeup. We don't have to bend over for MAtthews.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

This is gonna be tough.

Hopefully whoever comes in, is prepared, there is a lot of task at hand. Changes are coming.

 

[Apex Predator]

Wonder who willl be in charge?

 

[The Masters]

 

[DarkKnight]

Shanny at 3pm.

 

[rumman]

If he decided he couldn’t hack it anymore good riddance. Guy makes millions, can have a nanny, private schools, anything he wants and it’s still just too much for him? Like his team, can’t take it in the corners when it gets tough. Sorry. Wimp.

If it was the team, I’ll retract but I don’t think it was here…

I'm hoping it was a ownership decision..........

 

[Stephen]

My feeling is this was the most likely outcome with his press conference. Too much personal information to be able to come back in a professional manner.

Well, at least they have resolution on one front.

 

[wingman75]

Trickle down...

Keefe gone.

Core piece gone.

Room shaken, not stirred.

[Slats432]

People have been interviewing Chiarelli, Nonis, Conroy, Tulsky, Burke, Doan, JFJ, Mark Hunter, Brad Pascall, Scott Nichol, Derek Clancy. No shortage of guys that would like the job.

 

[DarkKnight]

I'm hoping it was an ownership decision..........

I doubt it based on his comments.

 

[Beanzy]

Does this mean we lose our cap guru Pridham?

I'm honestly worried the Leafs brass will do the Leafy thing and hire someone like Chiarelli to really set us back.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Who is the likely candidate I wonder.

 

[kk87]

This is really, really bad news for the franchise. Given the juncture we're at right now, Dubas was far and away the best candidate to help retool this team. I'm gutted.

That said, can't hold it against him at all. He deserves huge respect for everything he's done for this organization, no matter what the skeptics say. Best management we've had in decades. Thank you Kyle.

Why? This market had die heart fans. Everyone makes the leafs market to be villians but reality is in all sports the major markets are like this. Dallas and philly are way worse in the NFL.

 

[Menzinger]

At this point, I do hope Shanny goes too.

Pridham and Spezza are the ones I hope are given a ton of cash to stick around

 

[reggietfc]

wow before he could the trade the boston 1st pick to get rid of murray

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

Good result, but bad that he was the one making this decision.
