Yeah I guess the players like him!!! He franking gave them every nickel they wanted…….and more if you ask me!

Marner is the only one that applies to.

Rielly even took a lot less.

The way this was handled along with Spezza’s decision to walk won’t help with any of them.

I was on the keep Dubas side, but I believe Shanny did say he spoke with players

Yep, it was pretty comfy down there wasn't it, after a 7th straight disappointing playoff exit.

I'm not shocked, at all, that the Leafs do something dumb, and you like it.

- GreatGigInTheSky

There's an individual or two here that are too thick in the head for this. They had a narrative, it's played out. Now they're embracing the troll job and revelling in it. Nothing to see here.

I listened to the press conference twice today.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t say that.

It will be interesting, Shanny indicated he wanted someone with experience. My only concern is there are alot of iffy re-treads out there.

I don't trust Shanahan being in charge of hiring anyone the way this played out on his watch. The Lou thing was a bit poop showy too. It's more than possible the real problem here is the guy doing the hiring, not the guys being hired.

Enjoy being a Pens or Sens fan or wherever your guy ends up next week.

If you can pretend to be a leaf fan for the three years you bashed everything and whined your little heart out, I guess anyone can not like a decision and still be a fan of the team.

The media are a bunch of (frank)ing morons....until they write something you like.

Basically every player talked about how much they like him and the good work he's done.

The optics of this all are pretty terrible.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Of course they like him, they all had him bent over a barrel. This team was way too comfortable.

Marner is the only one that applies to.

Rielly even took a lot less.

really(?) and anyone who significantly effects the salary cap will need to take a pay cut if they want to bring the cup back to its rightful place😭

You really have nothing better to do on a Friday night than sit here and fish for emotional reactions and try and troll people who thought Dubas was best for the job?

What does that say about you beyond you don't know anything?

1.) you're a complete and total loser
2.) you are immature beyond your years
3.) you're a complete douchebag.

I don't care to hear any of your petulant whining, you're juvenile attempts to rub it in people's faces, or your general douchebaggery. Don't give a poop about a single thing you have to say. (frank) off and pull this tired gimmick on someone else you useless grade school troll.

Leafs make a hasty and galaxy brained move that has clearly already pissed others inside the organisation off? So much so that someone even tendered their resignation, immediately?

(frank) you. You deserve it. I got ripped all week for calling Dubas' press conference part of a negotiation, called "inhuman", etc., .... and it turns out, guess what, it was part of a negotiation for more $.

If there's one thing Dubas proved once and for all - he's a poopty negotiator.

Here you are writing your own narrative again, fifty_shades_of_moron. The part your missing... I don't give a (frank) about your stupid little conspiracy theories. Go rattle off at someone who cares you (frank)ing dork.

Yes, still trolling but this is out of the AA playbook. Even he's managed to grow up a bit, try it out you sad little kid.

K, so let me get this straight...

Shanahan, still in.
Dubas, out.
Spezza, out.
Keefe, still in.

Matthews, 6 weeks to sign one of the top players in the league with no GM, and if he's not signed he walks so close to UFA that they probably can't stop him now that his boy Dubas is gone. Almost has to be traded now.

Marner, 6 weeks until his NTC kicks in with no GM. Rumored to be traded.

Nylander, 6 weeks until his 10 team list kicks in with no GM. Rumored to be traded.

John Tavares, is safe and still in. Too bad, he should be gone.

A whole grip of UFAs to sign or they are walking and about 5 players outside of the top 4 signed for next year. (-2 if they trade Marner and Nylander)

So here's how the line up stands for 23/24 with players who aren't rumored to be traded:

????, Matthews (UFA), ?????
????, Tavares, ?????
????, ???????, Jarnkrok
Lafferty, ?????, ??????

Rielly, Brodie
McCabe, Liljegren
Gio, Timmins

Crystal Meth Murray
Woll

WOW. In the past week I went from holding onto hope that the Leafs would complete a magical come back to wholly (frank) this franchise is falling the (frank) apart.

Jesus. This is not looking good right now.

I was never a Dubas fan, but Shanahan has done (frank) all the whole time he's been here except shirk responsibility and hide every time the hammer drops.

Yes, it's a victory dance for the 10 year olds with bad opinions. Dont worry, this will be ignored while the pathetic trolling continues at me. 🙄

Hard times down at the country club. Too cosy down there gigsy.

I listened to the press conference twice today.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t say that.

I just watched again. Just after the 17 minute mark there is a question about if they will wait for a new GM to make some moves. He says he has spoken to most of the staff and called some of the players.

I didn't mean to imply they said they wanted him gone.
