I think that depends where you look. EvolvingHockey has him as below average this year on the PK. I no longer subscribe to JFresh.His PK has been good this year.

Second most time on PK on his team so far, lowest GA/60. 11th place PK. You’d think he was a big part of that. Him and Gavrikov. Be nice to have both of them.I think that depends where you look. EvolvingHockey has him as below average this year on the PK. I no longer subscribe to JFresh.
Dubas trades have been above average. Some bad ones and some okay ones and some really good ones.Sorry but thats not true. We will agree to disagree. Other posters have tallied his trades, and he has lost more than he's won on the trade front, costing us exactly the kinds of players we are lacking. It's not a flattering list and not someone I would want to handle a trade for any of our core players, if it were to happen.
If GM's don't take him seriously, those GM's have problems. Not really. As a GM, it's Dubas' responsibility to manage his relationships with his peers. If his peers have a negative perception of him, who's fault is that: the no experience, no NHL pedigree newbie who comes across as thinking he's smarter than everyone, or a group of GM's who have accomplished at the NHL level as an executive, or player or both? I know who's got cred in my book....
Looks like the Robertson hype train has stopped: I know this is said in jest due to my incessant Malgin bashing, but Robertson hasn't done anything to lose faith in him. This Team is a tire fire, and I'm putting the "elite players" on blast before I look at Robertson. Robertson's effort continues to stand out to me, and he is one of the few players I see who is bringing an effort, and playing with more confidence than our core and established players. I wouldn't expect Robertson to light anything up with this team performing as it is, and in the complete disarray that it appears to be. I'm just glad to see he is not being left to stagnate on the Marlies, and is being given a chance to play with some talent. Kid is still 21 years old, and he deserves to continue to develop, and not be passed over by a 25 year old who still hasn't established himself in the NHL.
Look at the Bruins. Krejic at 1 million and Bergeron at 2.5 mil both have won multiple cups so they are chasing a ring but they took huge discounts to make their team better and give cap space back.not sure where to post this but I'll post it here, one thing I always read in the forum is that of the core 4 Tavares is the one we should move, and I think that's furthest from the truth and here's why.
He's a Toronto boy grew up here and so did his wife, his family and friends are also here. there is a very good chance that once his current deal is up he will not be willing to go play elsewhere similar to Spezza and Giordano. and therefore we could be looking at another guy willing to take discounts to be here. he already proven this to be the case. rumor has it San Jose offered 13 million per 91 mill over 7 years, and he took 2 million less to be here, now 11 million is not a discount for the caliber of player but it was a discount on the open Market, also the majority of players who sign big UFA contracts don't live up to them, and especially in the final years is usually a huge anchor. to be still playing at a PPG level today is actually very successful. not saying he's not overpaid.
however in the future beyond his current contract there is potential for Tavares to finish his career in Toronto on very team friendly deals, we've seen other players do it. and I believe it's a very real possibility with Tavares and therefore going forward in order to extend our cup window Tavares could be key piece.
I believe xGA is a big part of it for both EvolvingHockey and JFresh.Second most time on PK on his team so far, lowest GA/60. 11th place PK. You’d think he was a big part of that. Him and Gavrikov. Be nice to have both of them.
I do wonder how Jfresh comes up with those PK % rankings. He had the most minutes on the PK last year for Columbus, that was 20th in the league behind some poor goaltending. His GA/60 on the PK were respectable.
Peeke won't be traded by Columbus who gave him a 4 years extension a few weeks agoIf the Leafs turn it around and don't have Muzzin for the year, I think Murphy makes far too much sense. Cost controlled, capable and attributes that match Muzzin defensively. And right handed.
He will be highly courted I think but I think the Leafs have the assets to make it work.
Peeke would probably be more of a lower end solution to me. He's cheap though.

Like if it's happened, long while ago..a franchise like Columbus isn't trading a good young player who they just rewarded with an extension..it's a wish that isn't happeningI've seen crazier things happen.

Once Tavares deal is up I hope he takes 5 mil or less and frees up a huge chunk of change to help the team
To be fair Bergy is still one of the best players in the NHLThats what Spezza and Gio did.

with the emergence of Addison I wonder if the Wild would be open to move Dumba, he's expiring after this year so he'd be a big trade chip for them if they don't turn it around....so would have to pay deadline prices nowMirtle says that he's heard Muzzin will be on LTIR for the season.
He also lists a few replacements candidates like Gavrikov (mentioned here) and Chychrun (sky high price + injured prone) as LD options and a long list of RHD pending UFAs that could fit the bill. Mayfield, Klingberg and Stetcher to me would all be fine RHD options, varying in value.
Mirtle: Why the Maple Leafs may need a trade to end their latest tailspin
With Muzzin on LTIR, Toronto can put a large portion of his $5.625 million salary to work on the open market.theathletic.com
Matthews gets 12.5Matthews, Nylander and Marner are going to get raises on their next contracts.
I'd be fairly certain JT's next contract is going to be substantially less. Especially if it's still in Toronto.
I don't care who the GM is, these numbers are not happening. They just go UFA. Not really a wise move now, is it?Matthews gets 12.5
Marner gets 10.5
Willy gets 8.5
Hopefully new GM plays hardball with Marner
In that case I really hope the cap goes up significantlyI don't care who the GM is, these numbers are not happening. They just go UFA. Not really a wise move now, is it?
It can and it will. (I will see myself out)In that case I really hope the cap goes up significantly

Dumba has a brand name, but I don’t think he’s the guy we should target.with the emergence of Addison I wonder if the Wild would be open to move Dumba, he's expiring after this year so he'd be a big trade chip for them if they don't turn it around....so would have to pay deadline prices now
Myers from Canucks or Larsson from Seattle would be others I'd kick tires on

idk , Minny board says he's good but makes bonehead decisions once or twice a game, sounds perfectDumba has a brand name, but I don’t think he’s the guy we should target.
