Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas Not Returning

[BallardEra]

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

Or maybe that was Dubas having second thoughts and him wanting out?

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

Nice story Shanny. Weird?

 

[therealkoho]

Absolutely appalling, IF this is true.

If you're offering $4m + benefits, you believe in Dubas and his project. To "part ways" over money, earning as much as this organization makes and being owned by two telecom giants who print dollars, is beyond frustrating.

He learned those techniques from Wills agent anyone know if Kyle jetted off to Malmo as well?

So this guy was right after all

Being a good man and being good at being a man are not the same thing

One is about character and one is about capability

Kyle was a very good guy. Just not very good at what he did

Stop making me think!!!

Dubas's media boys lining up to pin this on Shanny lol

Pretty obvious 95% of the transactions at least we're him

The only ones I can see otherwise we're the Sandin for a 1st, and the Knies pull back that was rumored

If Dubas truly didn't have autonomy, then I can only assume he didn't have the freedom to make anything close to 95% of the transactions while he was GM.

Kinda funny his final downfall was negotiating a contract. He was never very good at that

Good burn I must admit.

What? Fail, fail, fail and then have the gall to ask for that kind of money.

What are you, a commie?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

lmao f*** I wish this Dubas email could leak. Shanny said f*** no on the spot after reading it.

 

[Racer88]

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

Unbelievabl. He is holding nothing back. Dubas basically shot himself in the foot with his whiny presser and his agent changing the ask at the last minute

 

[Smif]

Kyle, you dbag.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Why does he keep mentioning that his office is at Ford Performance center? That's 3 times now lol

 

[Legion34]

If he brings out a new GM like tulsky it will be nuts.

Dubas is going to ottawa.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Much of this is for Matthews consumption. Matthews may get traded now he should NOT play poker..

If I am Matty I talk to my agent and let him know your true feelings. If you want to stay and lift a Cup, wear a Leaf jersey in the HOF and Legends Row don't mess around, forget the politics, just get it done. The Leafs can't wait long.

 

[93LEAFS]

wait, Shanahan thought he did enough to stay? Fire Shanahan.

 

[7even]

This sounds like an emotional decision. Dubas over shared at his press conference and Shanahan is apparently a more superstitious man than I would have guessed.

Why does he keep mentioning that his office is at Ford Performance center? That's 3 times now lol

play by play on things.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

That’s some serious tea. Dubas fumbled the bag

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Dubas sewered himself then, at least a little bit.

 

[Racer88]

Shanny basically was blindsided by Dubas at the presser and his agent

 

[Smif]

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

He had to because Kyle gave us nothing.

 

[trellaine201]

Hmm communication breakdown?

 

[Legion34]

Why does he keep mentioning that his office is at Ford Performance center? That's 3 times now lol

He’s old. Anchoring memory probably

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice story Shanny. Weird?

I don't buy his story.

 

[ToneDog]

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

That and asking for more money was his undoing.

 

[Just Rude]

Why does he keep mentioning that his office is at Ford Performance center? That's 3 times now lol

Naming rights contract is up, evidently.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Experienced GM is what Shanny is doing.
