Dubas inherited a team where his best players were kids and the defense was trash. Teams like that don't win the cup easily unless the kids are Crosby and Malkin. And inherit doesn't tell the full story because he's been grinding for the team since the Hyman trade. He didn't just pop out of no where. His mark was on the team before getting promoted.
He does deserve some criticism since we have first round woes and there were some things that could have went differently, but not the kind of criticism where a poll exists and JFJ is actually getting votes.
This is honestly a new low for this board. Just adds to how shameful and embarrassing this season has been. Maybe you guys need another decade of Stajans and Antropovs to see how good you have it.
Concluding his drafting sucks when we literally have two defenders who have won top D at the juniors since Dubas took over: Sandin and Niemela. Robertson will have the second best shot on the team when he finally makes it. Amirov has the potential to be better than anything JFJ drafted excluding Rask (which shouldn't even count because he traded him stupidly). That's all since when, 2o18? With this kind of drafting he will easily smash JFJ. None of you would swap out Sandin, Niemela, Robertson for guys like Frattin, Stalberg, Tlusty Holzer etc. We used to cry for draft steals, now when we finally get them every single year since Dubas took over...he's being compared to JFJ.
"Dubas sucks because I'm salty and because I say so " is basically all I see.
