Toronto Maple Leafs: Who Would Replace Kyle Dubas?

[ToneDog]

I think a real possibility is Dubas gets promoted to President and Pridham to GM

Now there is a spicy meatball. Yup let's f*** up the next 10 years.

When is the post mortem conference? When does Dubas speak? When does Shannahan speak? Where is Larry Tanenbaum?

Monday I expect. It seemed like 2 days last time but given the Board may need to discuss some things I could maybe see it pushed to Tuesday.

Why do you think they would promote him?

Edit - Because its a Leafy thing to do

Dubas sucks at drafts

You realize that 9 is a lot right? If you churn out 1 player each draft to play NHL games, that is a success. We've barely been drafting high over Dubas' 5 drafts and to get 9 players play NHL games by the age of 22/23 is pretty damn good for drafting outside the 1st round. Look at the rest of the league's drafting outside the 1st round and you want find many that are tracking better than what we've had.

Playing the percentages in the NHL Draft - TSN.ca

The trade deadline offers one of the most exciting parts of the National Hockey League season. Teams are generally binned into buyers and sellers and Travis Yost checks out the value of draft picks, which will be most relevant as the sellers offer trade incentives to buyers.

Sandin, Durzi, Robertson, Knies, Holmberg will likely all be regulars next year. Durzi being the oldest at 24 and the rest are 23 and under. This doesn't include other guys who could be making NHL debuts next season like Niemela and Hirvonen. We might have had Amirov as a regular, playing a significant role if he didn't have a brain tumor as well. Everyone else is still too young and a wait and see but many are having good to great post draft seasons like Grebenkin, Tverberg, Voit and Minten.

Sounds like Hayley Wickenheiser according to this guy. Is he that Hockey Guy dude on YouTube?:

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?

I would say a Shanny guy.

He could be a serious candidate if Dubas is let go. Guy has done a phenomenal job with roster moves considering we've been as close to the cap as possible.

I hope ownership has been quietly shopping for a new president who has been quietly shopping for a new GM, who’s been quietly shopping for a new coach……….

Looks like Simmons and The Sun are hard at work again.

Brodie is not a Right Handed D, he shoots left handed. He plays the right side but that doesn’t make him a RHD.

Explain to me what you think the H stands for in RHD?

Really Horrible Defenseman? No wait I'm thinking of Holl .
