Some real bad coaching this playoff.
- Keefe was badly outcoached in both series and only won vs TB because the team was running on fumes
- Oilers coach going back to Skinner after he repeatedly sucked and not giving Campbell who did well in relief his shot and the Oilers dismal 5 vs 5 play (An issue that seems constant under coach)
- Islanders coach had that Colliton deer in headlights/keep chewing that bubble gum look and seemed to not grasp the idea of matching lines, etc
- The absolutely abysmal refusal to change things up with regard to Rangers among other issues
- Jets complete dysfunction
That was just a few of the poor coaching/team issues in playoffs, Now think of several vacancies in league beyond them as well.
Q is the best coach available but of course the question is if he will be allowed to coach
If Q does come back, he will be looking at joining playoff team
He is going to be 65 and really can't see this being more then 3-4 year run for him which is why team like Rangers makes sense as the signed/core of team is essentially going to be around for 3-4 years

I’m glad Davidson was able to bend him over one last time with that Lafferty/McCabe trade.

At the press conference he said he would either be back with the Leafs or take time away from the game.
I think he’ll have a job as soon as he wants one.

Wording would indicate the Leafs decided to move on

Leafs seem pretty cemented in. Unless you think a tweak here and there is the difference to get eleven more wins, I don't really know what they can do.

Dubas is a scapegoat for Shanabans pursuit of John Tavares, he overpaid a chronic under achiever and the Laffs have been trying to fill the holes that caused in their defensive and goaltending ever since.
The trades Dubas made at the deadline were damn impressive and the Florida Panthers (my pick to win the Cup) rained on their parade.

I agree. I think he did everything to support his core. The problem is.... his core didn't support him when it counted.

A paycheck's a paycheck, but an intrinsic aspect of sports is also having fun. Hard to do that when the franchise is rudderless and you don't even know if it's a good idea to set down roots or not in case the team moves in a year or two, even if just to an opposite side of the metro area.

Also… did the Leafs literally fire a guy they were going to extend because he sounded tired in a press conference and wanted a raise?

He is POS for this
And nice dive/flop that somehow got a PP
Being a GM seems a lot like being a senator. High profile, consequential, big decisions, people kissing your tuchus, but not all that much work and the heavy lifting done by underlings.
