Heard his #1 GM candidate is the red stapler.

Yes please.

And take all of those spreadsheet gimps who never actually played hockey that he brought in and gave out “Assistant GM” titles.

Dubas pushed hard for a “group think” front office in Toronto of analytics nerds like him.

Let’s see if he does the same thing in Pittsburgh.

Metcalf is the only one that has never played organised hockey at any level. Pridham and Reidv have played jockey at lower levels.

He already canned every senior decision making hockey guy minus the one in charge of amateur scouting (who I'm sure will go after the draft)

Yes he's going to do the same thing there
 
I would think that the day after the draft you clean house. Every analyst, every Soo connection, perhaps most front office hires in the past 5 seasons. It's MLSE, you can give out generous golden handshakes across the board. Yes, it's very cold but it will save the organization a lot of drama later on. If these people are good, they'll get new NHL positions elsewhere quickly. If they're very good, they'll get a position with the Pens.

Let's face it, it's not Spezza this thread was created for.

The odds of Matthews getting 15 in Pittsburgh? Marner and Dubas reunion?

At the very least it will be a source of "potential" offers that will drive our next contracts through the roof. It was bad with imaginary offers for JT, imagine real from Dubas trolling Leafs.

Even Bobby Orr is only worth so much, if these players are asking for crazy money you get rid of them, it’s as simple as that………..

Pridham would seem to be a possible target. Seems to be very respected and a so-called cap genius. Dubas said his new GM in pittsburgh could be "someone who is ‘progressive’ and might feature a skillset he doesn’t have.". Not sure if Pridham is that guy, but I think with Dubas's ego, as VP he's going to call alot of the shots and his GM will be someone who follows Kyle's lead. Of course I have no proof of that but just my feeling. Pridham would fit that bill, and as a current AGM, a promotion to a GM position may well entice him to walk. Dubas also said he wouldn't hire one until after June as alot are under contract until then and he'd need "permissions". I think he'll be shopping in the Leafs yard for sure.

if it was up to me i'd definitely force him to take murray, keefe, tavares.

i guess he signs holl and kerfoot as ufas since he didnt want to trade them.

btw the dubas fan club that has been anti leafs since he has been let go can also join him and the pens board.

its disgusting reading posts that on purpose want the leafs to do bad just b/c dubas isnt here; heck i hated every second of dubas; raised alarms about the construction of the team and how badly it was managed but was never actively cheering for bad things to happen to the leafs. i am seriously disgusted by those posts

The same could have been said last offseason as well...and there's only the one season left on his contract now.

That’s true but I’m guessing. Dubas is relieved to walk away from his Leaf mistakes with a clean slate so I doubt he wants that mess of a goalie back

You make a valid point. I just think the possibility exists due to Murray's past success with Pittsburgh, their apparent need for a goalie as things currently stand, and the ability of Dubas in this role to make it happen.
