I don't hate Dubas. And I don't care that he's young. His glasses do suck though.

If you want to look like Harry Potter, that's a style choice - an odd one... but just a style choice.

What I don't respect isn't age related. Its lack of production.

Summer objectives -
1) sign stars... did that quite well - BUT at a cost - most notably roster players and a 1st round pick -> B+

2) Improve Defense - not worth typing - F

3) Improve goaltending picture - again - not worth typing - no grade - 'cause he did nadda


contracts... good/okay
roster improvement ... approaching ultimate suckage

now the olde man will go have a nap




btw... was Keefe referring to the management team when he mentioned that immature thing?

He needs to put in a home. I worry about him. Don’t want him having a senior moment and wonder off trying to tell Dubas what’s what.

Looks like we're gonna be close enough to a playoffs spot to NOT be sellers at the TDL... Almost tragic imho

Also on a related note.

I can’t pin point if Borje does it...but the same people who “swear” they don’t like Dubas because he’s young say the exact same things about Chayaka.

It’s funny.

Damn everyone losing their minds and going nuts. The utter bi-polar nature of leafs fans is almost rediculous. We win yay parade, we lose OMG fire everyone!

They are the same across the board in most fanbases but on occasion you just find a fanbase that is utterly rediculous

If Freddie doesn’t allow 3 goals on the first 5 shots every other game, that would help.

Chayka built a team based on goaltending and defense.

He stuck behind his coach and an old school system of team defense 1st.

Traded problem players like domi and strome away instead of canning the coach.

Would be nice if the Leafs could get .929 goaltending...


Edit:

9-10-4 under Limpcock

16-7-3 under Keefe

Nice and they haven’t made the playoffs yet since he was hired.

Oh but they are going to go far because they are “built” properly right?

And .930 goaltending? Mhm that’s sustainable.

The thing about the Leafs is they play like there's five forwards out there. If the defense is so bad then play to your strengths and just (frank)ing run forwards...

Tavares,Mathews,Nylander on forward... Marner and Kap play back.... Sounds idiotic I know, but half the poop on here already does. So balls to the wall mudder (frank)ers.....

I like Dubas and what he is starting to do ( yes he is just starting, gets 3 years before he should be judged IMO). He has amassed a good chunk of talent. Yes he needs some grit, better defense and has some goal tending issues to fix. But the hardest parts done (talent). Its what he does next to fill in the gaps that's the defining moment. Let's wait and see before we all piss and moan.

Can use better D & G prospects.

Liljegren not high on with top 4 ceiling at best. Idk if any Tenders in the system are legit talent to help.

The rest of the pieces need a lot of work. F’s are in great shape albeit too much cap allocated for them. So the question is how long it’ll take or how it gets done.
