Toronto Maple Leafs: Who Would Replace Kyle Dubas?

[ACC1224]

I’ve always agreed with this. If the Leafs had a private owner I’d think we’d have a cup by now.

What would they do different?

Dubas is pretty good in drafting. Knies is pretty good for a 2nd rounder. Some of the other guys will show up down the line.

What would they do different?

Bc they are thinking about Mark Cuban

 

[ACC1224]

Have we heard from Dubas yet?

Have we heard from Dubas yet?

Dont think we heard from anyone. It will probably Monday or Tuesday.

 

[justashadowof]

One thing Treliving would have on Dubas: he's already been humbled.

Cuban?

 

[Lemontree]

if the medical staff examined and cleared Murray, they deserve to be fired, was had some solid runs when he was healthy, which was not often. i was expecting him to be a disaster, and he wasnt, until after that first injury.

Is that the same medical staff who cleared Foligno when he had missed significant time with the Blue Jackets prior to the trade?

 

[Gabriel426]

Cuban?

The Dallas Mavs owner

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

Jesus f***ing christ

this and the whole thread is a freaking joke

Whats your alternative chief? Run it back with Dufus or hire some obscure dufus 2.0 probably.

 

[ACC1224]

The Dallas Mavs owner

I know who he is.
What does he do that is different?

So 25% of his players to date have been good enough to play in NHL action. He was also hired in 2018 as GM, and was hired as an assistant GM in 2014, so please factor the picks from 2014 to 2018 drafts into your statement.

If you're only looking at his history from 2018 as fulltime GM, maybe the 2018/2019 draft class should be starting to make a impact in the NHL, but you surely can't be expecting 2020,2021,2022 to be NHL players? (and if you are, i'd say he did a pretty good job getting Knies as he looks like a NHL player now.)

SDA (2018) has played 1 NHL game.
Mac Hollowell (2018) has played 6 NHL games.
Filip Kral (2018) has played 2 NHL games.
Nick Abruzzese (2019) has played 11 NHL games.

The only players drafted under Dubas who would have graduated to being everyday NHL players are Sandin (2018) and Durzi (2018) playing 159 and 136 games respectively.

Its not an impressive group, Knies looks like a good 2nd round pick however. Only his 1st and 2nd round picks have seen any sort of regular action at this point and since he trades those picks like candy, doesn't seem to matter.

How so?

There is as much bureaucracy in Rogers+Bell together as there is in all three levels of government

So let me get this straight. You believe that Dubas is the only person who can draft, sign free agents, make trades, hire/fire a coach because Rogers/Bell have a bureaucracy? Are you serious?

 

[TheBigThree]

I don't think dubas has the balls to fire Keefe. He brought Keefe up from the chl and only ever hired one coach in 13 years, Keefe.

 

[LeafEgo]

There is so much shit to do. I doubt they clean house just for that reason.

7 Free agents.
Dubas contract expiring.
Fire Keefe?
Hire new coach?
Hire new GM?
New president?
Mathew’s contract? Sign long term?
NMC kicking Jul 1.
Draft?
Free agency?
What’s the vision or philosophy moving forward?

Too much all that once. For that reason I think they will run it back.

If they haven't already planned for this scenario then there's really no helping this franchise.

Spezza

He's not ready for this off season ... THAT IS 100% for sure.

Marner NTC kicks in July 1.
Nylander's M-MTC kicks in July 1.

Dubas has to be extended with the MASSIVE work to do.

No surprise these guys want him resigned.

[Lemontree]

Honest question, I should probably google and research but.....

Is Brandon Pridham a "Dubas guy" or would he have been brought in by Shannahan, likely crossed paths when they both worked for the NHL?

Is there any chance that he is considered since he has AGM experience, is often credited with being able to keep the Leafs (just barely) cap compliant?

Firing Dubas, and especially Shanahan, is going to take a lot of signatures from board members

looks like they moved the article can't find any story at the link

How the actual f*ck did TJ Brodie get a NMC, who the hell did Dubas think he was signing?

 

[Gallagbi]

I don't think dubas has the balls to fire Keefe. He brought Keefe up from the chl and only ever hired one coach in 13 years, Keefe.

What does this mean? Do you think Dubas would refuse if hes given the ultimatum of Keefe or both of them?

 

[Menzinger]

He was a top 4 ufa, RHD. Had a broad range of interested teams. Not surprising imo
