I wonder if he's going to give the GM he hires "full autonomy"?

Maybe he will hire himself. He is a Lou protégé after all.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bet Dubas goes with Spezza as GM.. with Dubas having a lot of control over roster and draft decisions

Yes, the Leafs have always lost in the playoffs with this group. They have zero conference finals appearances in 7 years, let alone a championship. The closest this team has gotten is 5 of the required 16 wins, which is not remotely close. I did ask you what your criteria for a winning team was and didn't exactly get a clear answer, so I'll just assume that your only standard for success is a team that's been built by Dubas

The Leafs didn't lose in the playoffs, they just 'converted badly'

 

[DarkKnight]

Lol at Bourne and the family card, ya he wanted more power for the kids. These dupes.

And with that, The Penguins welcome their new GM, Sheldon Keefe.

That led to the losses.

I am happy happy happy he is in Pittsburgh .. now get your home sold and p*ss off out of my neighborhood .. and take da load of BS people you brought to my Leafs .. omg thank god we are done with listening to possession hockey BS and skill baby skill .. omg Pens are screwed .. an inexperienced president trying to unload an old age home .. but we will take Crosby

The biggest benefit to this is having every Dubas loyalist jump ship. The organization needs to be populated by Toronto Maple Leafs' loyalists.

Wonder if Kyle got his private jet? Netjets

Or Spezza

I’m actually a bit surprised he was able to get a promotion with another organization..

Not sure how his experience translates to that

I think it’s more a function of being a corporate animal than experience level.

Now he can finally have the shackles removed and bring in some Soo connections…

 

[justashadowof]

I'm surprised that Sidney Crosby is willing to play the next two seasons @ $3M per season when he could easily get $10M aav on the open market.

Bet Dubas goes with Spezza as GM.. with Dubas having a lot of control over roster and draft decisions

At least Spezza will probably end up as an AGM.

Ironically looks as if Dubas looking to recreate more or less what went down in Toronto, with him finally getting to play that Shanny role.

What about the family though?

Enjoy the bare cupboard, aged core Kyle, without all the perks here.

And the timing is no accident either.

Family is important to him.

 

[DarkKnight]

Family is important to him.

Said everyone. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Said everyone. Sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss.

 

[DarkKnight]

I see a half empty building and a full rebuild in two years. Enjoy.

I see a half empty building and a full rebuild in two years. Enjoy.

I disagree with that. Maybe a rebuild but never a half empty building.

 

[supermann_98]

Translation: I make that chedda, f what my wife and kids think they're going where I tell them to go and they'll like it

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Family is important to him.

What a joker? LOL as soon as that came out of his mouth .. then again maybe his wife is a joke too .. they were only around from August 2022 to now so you don't really know anyone .. kenollie my *ss

 

[ToneDog]

Time to move on
What's done is done

Gonna be nice to be on the right side of a Dubas trade. Wonder what he'd give up for Willie ?

 

[DarkKnight]

I disagree with that. Maybe a rebuild but never a half empty building.

How soon they forget.

 

[notDatsyuk]

So he got Shanahan's job after all, just with a different team, plus he kept his word that he wouldn't be a GM anywhere else this year.

It might be harder to ruin the Pens without being GM.
