Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas Not Returning

[BTP]

f***ing hell. We're f***ed. I dont give a shit what anyone says, he was one of the best GM's in the league, he will do amazing work with another team and we will be stuck in the mud.

 

[Forgotusername]

Id like them to fire Shananhan and hire the Hunter brothers.

Why, if they were good, a team would have hired them by now. They are good for a junior team, but overrated AF.

 

[Bomber0104]

Great news, I like Dubas as a person but he was always unsuitable for a GM job that early in his career. Would have been best served to stay on in an AGM role for 5 years or so rather than jumping into the big job prematurely.

Exciting times ahead for Leafs Nation, team has a lot of interesting decisions ahead of them.

The old heads got what they wanted. Enjoy Brian Burke and not making the playoffs.

Bring Burke back, with Shanny as a buffer between the board . Let him negotiate the contracts.

Id like them to fire Shananhan and hire the Hunter brothers.

Ew.

 

[seventieslord]

Disappointing. I trusted him to partially dismantle and build back up. I hope they don't hire some dip shit.

I agree. Paradoxically I thought he was the best suited GM to clean up the mess he made.

 

[Squiffy]

Well I hope it's not a full scale front office tear down. Replace the GM, I don't really have a problem with that, thought Dubas was fine, but not opposed to a fresh look.

Just don't take a flamethrower to it, the analytics, scouting, etc., etc., steady as she goes there boys...

Toronto is a high profile job in Toronto fans eyes.

Wrong.

 

[leafsfan5]

meh, it is what it is

MLSE really f***ed this up with needing a new GM during the biggest off-season this franchise has had in decades. I'm concerned how this impacts the Matthews extension

 

[Twine Tickler]

Think we are going to regret this decision.

At this point, you may as well strip it right down to the studs and start all over again. Really don't agree with this decision to move on from Kyle.

I cannot say I have ever felt this way towards a departing GM, but Kyle deserved better from this core group. They failed him, not the other way around.

I will genuinely cheer for Kyle wherever he goes. His impact on our franchise will be felt in a positive way for years to come.

aka Bryan Colangelo.

Hard Pass.

I dont think I am aware of Brad Treliving having burner accounts and burner phones to gas light players? Unless I missed something.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Tulsky or bust.

 

[aingefan]

I really liked him as a GM and as a man. Wish him all the best. He’ll be back with another team
The timing is rough, lots of work to do.
That said, I’m also fine with the idea that a new face can come in an objectively build something new without the same connections. Not that I thought Dubas wasn’t capable.
Hope the next one has a vision and is smart. Walking into a strengthened organization: better analytics, better scouting, better development. Caps in an okay spot, some premium assets to play with, a strong roster with no bad contracts on the books. Decent prospects that are close.

Was gonna be a fun summer either way.

Good luck Dubes.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Enjoy Brad Te

Toronto is a high profile job in Toronto fans eyes.

The Leafs are a high profile job....objectively. That isn't an opinion. It is a fact lol

 

[rocketman588]

Well, all the idiots got what they wanted. Now y'all can be reminded of how bad the average GM is and the shit management we had before Dubas

You mean like the 105 points and first round loss in addition to a perfectly executed tank job that was performed before he got here?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I am assuming by next week we'll have the next GM for sure. and soon afterward the coach all while having to contract extension Matthews.

 

[The Masters]

I dont think I am aware of Brad Treliving having burner accounts and burner phones to gas light players? Unless I missed something.

Yes the big one - their resume's and the multiple knee jerk decisions they both make.

 

[AllDay28]

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…

this is such minimum wage thinking.

The old heads got what they wanted. Enjoy Brian Burke and not making the playoffs.

We were making the playoffs before Dubas gained real power, and in the 5 seasons with him we improved how we were doing by playing 5 more games into the playoffs. He was never the savant or saviour people portrayed him as.

 

[GoonieFace]

Brad Treliving is coming.

Are you spying on him?

 

[1specter]

Tulsky or Pridham please

 

[Stand Witness]

What worries me the most is a new GM coming in and doing nothing because they want to get a handle on things. Serious decisions have to be made by June 30th. Not having an extension for Matthews or Nylander is unacceptable. Either traded or signed on July 1.

 

[Skullz]

Please no Treliving.

Brutal stint in CAL.

I don't feel good about this at all.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The only guy I want as the next GM.
