Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas Not Returning

[Martin Skoula]

I guess Malkin is a 2C then too


I'd take Woll

Malkin, Tavares, Karlsson/Burns etc still play 1st line minutes when they’re behind a better 1C/1D.

Sandin and Liljegren both looked great playing 15 minutes against easy competition and struggled moving up to 20 against top lines.

Shanny giving the play by play of how it played out is amazing

This is f***ing surreal

I know the last big move from Treliving was rough considering everything but what makes him so awful? Maybe I'm missing something.

I mean, just look at the team's capfriendly page and the prospect pool lol

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Exactly what did Dubas do? Its not like he drafted Matthews, Marner and Nylander. He signed Tavares to that albatross contract that they can't move. He has had a revolving door of 3rd and 4th liners. He traded away a ton of picks for players that didn't work out. He got rid of Carter Verhaegee for nothing and Carter bit the Leafs in the ass and turned into a 40 goal scorer, and then dominated the Leafs in the playoffs. Dubas only mortgaged our future and got nothing done. And Keefe is likely the worst coach in the league and got owned by our old coach Maurice. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Dubas didn’t trade Verhaeghe. Lou lams did

Verheaghe was also a part of 4 organizations before he figured it out.

Yea very open from the looks of it.

I've believed for a while now that those that go out of their way to hate on Dubas, simply weren't around during the truly miserable days of the Cliff, JFJ, Burke, Nonis eras.

How could anyone live through that crap, experience what we've had recently, and opt to want more of the past rather than this?

Baffling.

I've been around since Punch was hired

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Guess Dubas is prioritizing his family.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

This is a very different press conference...

 

[The Masters]

kinda shocked hes going through so much detail

wow

 

[BallardEra]

This is f***ing surreal

And some questioned my surreal topic the other day about this whole situation...lol

 

[The Masters]

as we all said kyles emotional words on monday triggered shanny and ownership to move on

 

[SprDaVE]

Reading between the lines, sounds like Dubas lost his job with the way he talked to the media at the end of year presser.

The fact that Shanahan and the Leafs had no clarity after Wednesday is pretty crazy.

 

[Revolt]

He's giving the entire story, what is this lol.....

 

[Leaf Rocket]

It all but seems like MLSE wanted him but Dubas choose family over the job anymore.

 

[Warden of the North]

He's giving the entire story, what is this lol.....

100% transparency.

 

[Racer88]

Wow so it was Dubas’s presser that sunk him with the Leafs. Up until that point Shanny says they basically had a dead done but after hearing that Shanny pulled the plug

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Reading between the lines, sounds like Dubas lost his job with the way he talked to the media at the end of year presser.

Yea it seems like it definitely seems like it.

 

[Warden of the North]

I am surprised that GMs have agents.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

100% transparency.

It's refreshing and also scary

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

This is so bizarre, like as of Sunday they were all ready to lock him up but changed their mind based on seeing the press conference?

 

[TMLeafer]

Make Shanny GM

 

[francis246]

oh God lol Kyle, you had the deal! All you had to do was sign. I respect Shanny for standing his ground. I think that will flow through the organization.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'm not sure what I expected, but this level of detail is pretty surprising. Dubas must have really caught him off guard

 

[LeafsFan89]

This doesn't seem like Kyle Dubas. Kind of shocked how this went down.

 

[The Masters]

good for shanny

u saw thru the BS
