Seravalli: Tony D to Toronto?

[TheNumber4]

Dubas is a desperate man

I know. Unfortunate if it leads to him picking up a POS like Deangelo.

 

[TheNumber4]

What did he do afterall? All I remember is he threatened to beat up a goalie, who deserved the beating. He was also supporter of Trump, who was maybe the best president the USA has seen for a while.

Besides fighting his own team mate, wasn’t he spreading coronavirus is a hoax crap on Twitter.

 

[NuxFan09]

Cancel culture is so lame. People make mistakes, let the kid play.

I'm so tired of it. Sure, hold assholes accountable, but do just that. Hold them accountable and actually give them a chance to account for it. Don't just cancel everyone and everything in a misplaced pursuit of a perfect sunshine and rainbows utopia.

 

[deckercky]

I wouldn’t know. I assume between the many different teams they will be playing there’s a few without the vaccine

Blue Jays ask feds to approve 'modified quarantine' for unvaccinated players and staff

Looks like currently normal quarantine rules, but Blue Jays are trying to get the restriction lightened.

But even looking at that proposed restriction - it makes sense for visitors but not for players on the Canadian team - they'd spend the whole year in quarantine.

 

[NuxFan09]

This guy has been a problem on every team he's been with. If your co-worker gets fired for being a bad fit, do you also blame cancel culture?

No, but if he was barred from being in the workforce, or at least in a specific field, then I would blame cancel culture.

Coronavirus isn't literally a hoax, but the reaction to it, all the lockdowns and what not, was absolutely a farce.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Dude a guy that is willing to beat up his own goalie is someone who gives a shit and clearly wants to win! Hope my Leafs sign Tony D and give him a chance to really shine!

If he cared about winning, he'd work on the defensive side of his game rather than inflating his personal statline.

Thousands dying by the day. Virus spreading at an exponential rate. Dealing with something they’ve never dealt with before with no vaccine in sight. Public scared and confused. Politicians scrambling to figure out what’s the most responsible way to deal with. Temporary lockdown and social distancing was chosen as the solution. What exactly was farcical about it to you? Maybe it wasn’t the optimal solution, but it’s not hard to see why the choice was made.

 

[JAK]

They negotiated a contract. If you think it is funny, that is fine.

Any logical fan would come to the same conclusion. You do not walk a franchise player to UFA with a giant cap hit and not buy any UFA years.

A conversation for DM maybe. I just see a lot of suspicious stuff with this whole thing. I haven't even gotten so much as a Covid test before. I refuse to. I'm fine. Everyone around me is fine. That's just anecdotal too. There have been media-suppressed reports coming out about the actual death numbers when factoring in no other comorbidities too. And we're supposed to believe that, even though legitimate vaccines take years and years to develop - mostly due to the need to actually isolate the virus (which has NOT been done with SARS-COV-2) - these new vaccines are the end all be all?

Anyway, like I said, not a conversation for this thread.

I hate getting into this type of stuff here or anywhere. So I agree this should be taken to DM.

Fair enough. We'll move on.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I would sign him if the signs a paper where promises to get some therapy and clean his act. He will poison the locker room in a heartbeat if he doesn't.

 

[unicornpig]

He'll be a great get for whichever team is not a giant bunch of fragile lambs and signs him.

Problem is maple leafs have a bunch of fragile lambs

 

[im gangster]

That's what makes me wonder because I think You're right

I want everyone to remember that Dave Nonis stood his ground and ended up losing his job when his Canucks missed the playoffs after he refused to execute the Aquilini backed Brad Richards trade where Vancouver would lose all of Kesler/Edler/Schneider.

Will Dubas be remembered in the future for his principals? Let’s go!

Absolutely. Kid needs work. A real attitude adjustment. If I'm a team that is curious about his talent, I'd also make sure that I'm willing to put the work in with him on a personal level.

 

[BlackAdam]

If he helps the team win a round in the playoffs, I don't care and neither will any of you.

 

[Leaf Fans]

He can re-sign.

 

[Knies iT]

He can join the 40 million club and become another overpaid playoff choker.
Leaf fan making fun of other team's cap is hilarious, let's see what contracts sink our teams first. 7 million for OEL or 11+ for Tavares or 11 for Marner.

Don't you have to make the playoffs for this comparison? Can't choke if you're not invited to dinner.

All that yet the death rate was lower than the year before as a whole in Alberta. The best thing about covid19 was that it cured cancer, influenza and heart disease...

EDIT: I should keep my mouth shut on this stuff. I just end up passing off other people and eventually myself.

On Tony. The racial stuff is the concern for me. Probably a third of the league holds his political views. Credible sources have talked about how players don't want to sign in Canada because of their perceived overreaction of the government. Most players privately feel the way Tony does. He's just louder about it. However the racial stuff makes him unsignable for me until he apologizes for it.

No, they don't.

 

[unicornpig]

No, they don't.

Sure they do bunch of boys on the team. How do you think the whole Babcock situation got out

The Babcock situation started in Detroit and he brought it with him to Toronto. He coached the team to 22nd place and was fired. Along the way he tried bulying players notably Mitch Marner.

and it never came out to the main media in Detroit, not till the fragile lambs started to cry about it. Babcock may be a piece of shit, but marner is a child

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Can't see it happening on Dubas watch.
