Surprised to read this in Spain. I liked dubas and was hoping he would be extended.
At least now, we know keefe will be let go.
Hopefully
But many questions.
Not sure we are better without dubas.
But he cant hold us ransom.

It appears to me that Dubas simply showed himself the door. The posturing in front of the media (despite all the claims it wasn't) cost him his job.

I was going to sign Dubas to an extension. Then I saw him basically crying on stage. It made me wonder if this is the vision we want for this hockey club? My core 4 spend plenty of time talking about their feelings as they sip lattes and order avocado toast. Meanwhile a man's man like Tkachuk is destroying everything in his path. Yeah, maybe time for a new GM...

You didn't leave when you hated him so why should anyone else leave? Take your own advice when the new GM doesn't do what you think they should.

Even better, I'll love it if they do and they still fail and see how you backtrack

Plus I bet you believe every word of Shanahan but was skeptical of everything Dubas said. Show your hate even more.

Don't stop believing, Aaron:

To the Dubas wives: don't worry. Your boy will be working somewhere else soon. That was ALWAYS part of this negotiation. Feel free to follow him to the next team.

Okay troll. Where was this advice when you were sat here whining about everything to do with the team every day the last 3 summers? Would have been the perfect time to look in the mirror and get the (frank) out.

Well that was a less than honest presser… hope the shannaplan going forward is better than that disaster of a presser -

Shanny was just earning his paycheque for the Board. The idea that everything was copacetic until the Dubas presser which caused Shanny to question proceeding just doesn’t pass the smell test. The Board wanted Dubas gone and he got gone.

Lol. I wanted Dubas out of here after Montreal. That's on the record.

I'm just saying to the wives - he's clearly pretty (frank)ing important to you. If you're inclined feel free to gtfo with him.

Trumpian level willful ignorance.

He asked for more money on Thursday - "a new financial package".

It was always a negotiation.

Yeah, and I'm just saying that if not liking a move that the team makes is the baseline for getting out, you can feel free to get the (frank) out like 3 years ago.

Congrats, you've achieved useless troll status. You and Max can officially plan attacks together.

Nothing screams that my arguments are solid more than tossing out insults. Carry on.

Uh oh, don't let the know it all trolls like fifty who are trying to rub this in know that. Might make them question whether they really do know everything or if maybe they're just another jabroni that doesn't have a clue what this team needs.

The Ottawa rumours are strong.

Still have not heard anyone pumping Patrick Roy to the Leafs. Roy is making sounds that he would like to return to NHL.

ooh! ethspana😍

where? Do tell😍

i watched a laff playoff failure on my iPad from a balcony in barthelona😍

then the nail in the coffin game 7 a few days later on a balcony overlooking the Tyrrhenian in positano😍

life hack: don’t keep a woman there that will be pissed off with her sister while you’re enjoying these bittersweet moments, trust your gut and abandon all hope👊🏿

then everything is pretty easy👊

Rumour was 6 to 8m and they offered 4. Plus there's a lot of rumors about autonomy.

Again, this smells like the Jays and AA again.

Just as long as McGuire & Chia Pet aren’t in any kind of roles… that’s baseline competence for me…

Spezza quit because Dubas was asking for too much money. It’s all about the coin.
