Yes, it is/was.

I like Dubas just fine. I don't mistake him for being a "very good GM" though. At the risk of repeating myself: he's made some great moves, he's made some terrible moves (Kadri), and he's made some middling moves.

The team was largely buoyed on 4 elite players of which he only had his hands involved in acquiring one of them. One could make a logical argument that signing Snakevares was actually not an optimal move and, in fact, handcuffed Dubas in the moves he was able to make moving forward (hard to be flexible when you've ostensibly locked up 50% of the cap into 4 skilled forwards).

Time will tell if he's able to live up to the "very good GM" moniker with Pittsburgh. The team certainly will have more wiggle room for him to play with.

To wit: there shouldn't be a continued, wailing lament for Dubas in Toronto. The team will be just fine without him and he'll be just fine (maybe "very good") in his new position.

I will personally never agree with that. But maybe that's just me.

Whats everyone angry about with The Tree today?

Detroit takes on cap from the oilers.
Maybe creating space for a dman.

They were either going to buy out Yamamoto or trade him regardless.

He hasn't traded Murray for Bedard for starters.

Kampf 🥴

His record actually isnt too bad.

always close series.

Also has never missed the playoffs.

Very important to make the playoffs if you want to win I would say.

The guy was gifted Nylander, Marner, and Matthews. I am absolutely confident that had YOU been the GM of the teams instead of Kyle, the Leafs would still have made the playoffs. You, however, might not have been able to land John Tavares, which has turned out to be a millstone. I am also absolutely confident that your playoff record would not be worse.

He hasn't won the Cup since 1967! I'm just so unhappy, I'm just so unhappy!

Another 400 IQ play

Definitively not confident they would make the playoffs if you were GM.

Well they traded him.
3.1m in cap space

Thanks.

This isn't about me dumbass. It's about the gift Kyke Dubas inherited and squandered.

There is word that Jesse Puljujarvi recently underwent double hip surgery and is facing a lengthy recovery. He won't receive a qualifying offer from the #hurricanes before tomorrow's deadline and will become an unrestricted free agent.

Maybe it'll fix him up and he can hockey again.

this draft is similar to 2017, because the leafs will get Zero NHL games from players they pick in rd 2-4

I'd love to do Elizabeth Banks on a bear rug.
