Easiest how? Until they decide to suck hard, even Bettman can't gift us another couple of 1st overall to build on.

No GM in history would sign such an impactful and long term deal without making the decision themselves.Youre paying this man 7m a year and hes not responsible for the management decisions he signed off on
Why is he even working then?
Dubas tried to give himself a built in pass with the moronic Pens media (and apparently some fans) by saying he signed the contract based on reports from others in the organization since he was new in town. The only thing he is good at is self preservation. He is the worst and a plague on this franchise. It will be 5 more years of his moronic moves before someone thinks “hey, maybe this guy isn’t so smart after all”

Jarry went from "inconsistent goalie with ups and downs" to just "bad goalie" either this year or sometime late last season, and it really doesn't seem like it's going to get any better.
Maybe you can gamble on him getting his stuff fixed with a change of scenery, because the athleticism still seems to be there, but he's really broken at this point and his contract is heinously ugly. He's Georgiev if Georgiev was signed for multiple more years.
I don't mind Dubas re-signing Jarry but the contract he gave out to him was disgusting. At that cap hit there's no way he should have gone beyond 2 or 3 years of term.

To take the time to write a paragraph about what an unhinged leafs fan thinks about your team. Who is actually living rent free here ?

I'm a middle aged man. The Penguins could go the rest of my life without winning another Stanley Cup and that still would be a shorter drought than Leafs nation has lived through.Okay i think we’re doing okay
But I don't think I'll need to wait 57 more years. I'm betting your new genius management chases Marner out of town. Last time you did that with a franchise winger I got to watch him win 2 Cups with the Penguins.

What do you expect, the man completely botched the most talented roster we ever had. Barely anything he did was looked at as a success.
You should be angry at your ownership for hiring this snake oil salesman and not firing Sully.
How someone could look at what he accomplished in Toronto and thought he deserved a raise is beyond me.

It’s the most Dubas thing ever to state he signed him to an extension because of some internal reports. Looks great if the contract turns out well, has someone to throw under the bus if it doesn’t. Dude is a weasel.

Funny your new GM did more damage to the Flames before he left, I guess he will do the same to the Leafs?
Funny, Treliving was a moron with what he did to the Flames and yet you lot think you're fine, but god forbid anyone else does with another Gm, is that it? So instead, you infect every Pens thread on this sub forum to whine about Dubas?Okay i think we’re doing okay
Sure, not rent free.

For sure the guy you're quoting should have know two sentences is the max any leaf fan can read.

The way they're playing it is not really smart. There's some good stuff Jarry has done in his game, his ability to step up for high danger shots and saves is still there, but his mechanics are off, he's not aggressive to the angle, his movement in net is slow because he's hesitating and for a goalie that is fantastic at handling the puck, even in that Sabres game he just didn't even look competent with that. The mental aspect of the game is always ignored and then you have idiots just going off about so and so being just crap because sports fans are some of the worst with this ignorant - They owe me - mentality.
He should be sent down to WBS to work with Tisi imo, I think Chiodo maybe isn't the voice he needs at the moment because it clearly hasn't worked for him. Also he'd get playing time. What good is practice going to do when he needs to work in games, not drills against his own team. But it's curious to see someone like Bednar saying he will work through it with Georgiev and will give him a start and also let Annunen play through his.
It's comical that a goalie that is 30 is now supposedly done when on the main board there's a thread about a career back-up that is 30 and suddenly blokes asking if he's for real.
If Jarry was an absolute disaster, there would be zero to salvage in his game, but he's not there yet. Also yeah a new GM will consult the Coach that the ownership seems to desperately love and throw heaps of power to, it quite literally tanked two previous GM's before him.
Also for Leafs fans to think he would be this complacent with a goalie when he's been anything but in his Leafs tenure is comical. But then that'd be asking any Leafs fans to actually answer without emotion with Dubas.
Stupid deal the moment it was signed, he had never earned this contract. Him being bad is not a surprise to anyone but the management.
To be honest, I had even forgotten that this was 5.375. I thought it was like 4.5mil. What on earth had he done to earn this deal?

Dubas is a clown and has never appeared halfway competent. He's probably a smooth talker and can impress the leadership by sounding smart, but his actual performance record is mediocre at best.

The cap hit was fine, when he signed Jarry was like the 15th highest paid goalie and that was fairly reflective of his overall ability. The term is the part that was horrible, especially after Jarry had a middling year in 2022-2023. His deal should have been like 2-3 years at $5 million, not 5 years at $5 million.
People forget that Jarry was legitimately good in some seasons in the past, he put up a .919 save% in 58 games and was an all-star in 2021-2022. He's just been on a downwards trend since then and looks to be legitimately bad at this point.

Jarry's biggest issues at this stage are all mental. He's needs to see that sports psych that Fleury saw, and go from there. I bet you he can get back to being himself, and actually be an upgrade for many teams.
We need to move on regardless, as we need to fix our logjam at the G position. If things go as expected Blomqvist and Murashov will lead the show in a few years.
