Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas Not Returning

[The Masters]

Dubas is a scumbag with no integrity

big scumbag

 

[Amadeus]

This character assassination of Kyle Dubas is pretty unwarranted.

He was our GM. While he was here, he was nothing but a class act. He is gone now for reasons that could be related to money or power, we can't say.

Let's move on, gracefully!

Seigel and Mirtle are two of the biggest Dubas shills I've ever seen.

Mirtle is a little wiesel. He writes these artiles pro Dubas licking him then goes on radio shows like with Jd Bunkis and agrees that Dubas was lowsy here

remember reporters are just like politicans
no spine

I wouldnt get too caught up with these dumb articles. Everyone knows the truth and Dubas got sniffed out

 

[yubbers]

Good

Prison Kyle

Lmao dubas gave our core 4 those contracts. Not shanny

You really think boy could have given away contracts of that magnitude without Shanny's AND ownership permission? No way.

 

[sxvnert]

The anti Shanny campaign continues. Still waiting for the "Dubas was on his way to the food bank when all of a sudden.." articles.

'It doesn’t make any sense': Kyle Dubas’ dismissal leaves Maple Leafs staff confused and hurt

There's an overall sense of disillusionment around the Maple Leafs right now according to members of the team's front office.

Confusion and hurt ripples through Maple Leafs in wake of Kyle Dubas’ dismissal

Anger. Confusion. Shock. Disappointment.

Those are some of the feelings reverberating around the Maple Leafs right now in the aftermath of Kyle Dubas’ firing as general manager last week.

The Athletic reached out to several people who work for the Leafs this week. Anonymity was granted to them as they were not permitted by the team to speak to the media.

This story reflects their feelings at the moment and speaks to a level of disillusionment that team president Brendan Shanahan and the next GM of the Leafs will have to work to unwind.

“I’m in mourning right now,” one person who worked in the front office with Dubas during his time with the Leafs said.

There’s a real sense of loss for staff members. Dubas was their leader and the one who hired many of them. Suddenly, he was gone a week after the season came to an end – and without, in their minds, a satisfactory explanation as to why.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” a Leafs front office member said of the way Dubas was let go. “That’s why it’s disappointing.”

Shanahan went from wanting to bring Dubas back to firing him in a matter of days. And then offered his version of events in a press conference that left people inside the organization confused and upset.

........................

It’s security they have because of Dubas.

Though he wasn’t offered an extension himself, not until after the trade deadline, Dubas fought to extend staff members who entered last season with expiring contracts. He got them extended with one, two, and three-year deals.

At least one staff member was inclined to ride things out with Dubas for an uncertain year. Dubas insisted — take the security, protect your family.

“Don’t worry about me,” he told his people. “I’ll be OK.”

Those close to Dubas insist they liked working for him. Dubas put them first and had clearly grown into his leadership role.

This is ridiculous.

Sure he accomplished good things as GM, but overpaying the big 4, trading for Murray, etc. all for one lousy round says plenty. If anyone wants to follow him elsewhere, have at it.

Guaranteed nothing will be found and the story buried.

 

[yubbers]

So did Shanny file that complaint against Dubas?

The timing can't be a coincidence.

And how did anyone not realize they have the same agents?

Pathetic if true.

"Dubas did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Dubas himself is a former certified player agent and would have had complete understanding and knowledge of the regulations governing agents prior to entering into a relationship with Armstrong"

 

[sxvnert]

He traded all his grit, only to notice in year 5 that you need that.

While condescending to everyone who dared question it.

 

[3blizzard4]

Keefe in no mans land until a new GM is hired.

That must suck so much. He can’t even interview for an new job now.

The league will never punish the "good guys".

Yes, thank you. He avoided off-ice scandal his entire time in Toronto, unlike many other GMs around the league. And I do think he acted with integrity

Piling on right now is like the guy who feels the need to badmouth his ex every chance he gets - that ends up saying way more about the guy than the ex

Calgary would be a great location to get a fresh start based on everything Conroys checklist.

Keefe not a bad guy, just not the coach for this team. I do hope his situation gets settled soon

 

[The Masters]

I just laugh at stuff like this. Siegal the wiesel.

Jeremy left the leafs already and the skills development aspect was already in place in other teams. Leafs were one of the last. It actually got started in Columbus

It was Dubas, then the assistant GM to Lamoriello, who oversaw the addition of Jeremy Bettle and the creation of a sports science department. It was Dubas, with the support of head coach Sheldon Keefe, who oversaw the expansion of a skill development program that allowed players to hone their abilities throughout the season.

 

[Trapper]

true that, but lets be honest, Shanahan is responsible for where and what the Leafs currently are, he doesn't get a hall pass imo.............

And he could ultimately be responsible for run it back and do the same thing over despite a new GM. Any GM is going to be tasked with just filling around a core that could well be a playoff issue.

So did Shanny file that complaint against Dubas?

Messy divorce.
I wonder who will get custody of the children, Matthews,Marner,Nylander?

What a train wreck.

He had to have his Denis Malgin's every year despite the team being soft.

It may be enough to end his opportunity in Pitts though. Would you want that smoke? lol
