Kyle Dubas - - Worst Negotiator Ever?

[Donnie740]

No GM has ever done less with more than Dubas but despite a half decade of accomplishing absolutely NOTHING, he was being handed a multi million dollar multi year deal to remain as GM.

After getting absolutely fleeced in negotiations for Pyjama Boy, Marner, Matthews and Nylander, it’s hilariously fitting that Dubas somehow found a way to screw up his own contract negotiations.

Just like the laughably incompetent Gord Stellick, Dubas will be a joke for years.

Evidently that was enough to get handed a multi million dollar year multi contract extension.

Only Dubas could possibly find a way to screw up that negotiation.

This guy overpaid everyone but himself

Shannahan had enough

You never know he might have something lined up from another team hence his ask

It's called leverage, the leafs had none and have none now again. Matthews gonna get a record contract with short term or walk for nothing. This team is gonna get worse before it gets better.

- Nylanders deal is a good deal.
- You can argue against the signing, but he convinced JT to take 2m less than what he was offered elsewhere.
- Some might disagree, but a player like Matthews has all the negotiating power. Just like McDavid, Mackinnon, and past Crosby. It's pretty much up to the player if they want to take a discount or not.
- His biggest mistake is not going with the apparent 8x8 offer from Marners camp the year before his breakthrough. He should've taken the risk at the time and signed that.

And we thank him.

if he wasn't such a shitty negotiator he'd likely still be employed.
