all the nonsense around the Marleau contract move out.. tells one thing and one thing only... Dubas actually believed that someone was going to offer sheet Marner.

nothing more - nothing less.

frankly, he would have been an idiot not to take 4 1sts ... and all the CAP moves he made to make space for Marner tell you he didn't want to take the 4 1sts.

which - if true - is idiotic.

- BorjeFan4Ever


Absolutely. And ultimately if he had less cap space WTF was Marner going to do? Sit? Have at 'er bud.

The Leafs brass actually believed they had a legit shot at a cup. They simply misread what they had in these guys. Reading them right is literally their job.

He is players GM. It's a new style yo.

I had to give up playing due to my epilepsy and the stage lights bugging me.

I am doing a reunite show with my band from 10 years ago tho (The Dirty Love Band) in Moonbeam this summer tho... its an outdoor show and they agreed to just solid stage lighting

Looking forward to it

Dubas has to be getting canned.

If it’s true Florida has to shed $10 milly, why are we not trying to fleece them?

Oh (frank) I didn't realize you were in the canes organization and had both injury reports on your own tenders and confirmation of any additional moves remaining. My bad.

If he does nothing after Saturday’s nonsense he doesn’t deserve to be an NHL GM

Name two.

He had to get rid of Marleau to sign Marner.

I am not a Dubas fan, but he gets a pass on the Marleau deal.

All he had to do was let Ceci walk to sign Marner. But Ceci was the missing piece in the Leafs Stanley Cup aspirations.

The notion that a GM who lives by the credo "Trust the Process" is going to panic when his team loses one game, no matter how embarrassingly is fanciful. Dubas will trade if he thinks it helps his team. Saturday is irrelevant.

Ceci had already been qualified.

Johnson at $3 was a good signing.

What else you got?

Anything relevant to the conversation?

I get the logic but I’m sorry something should have been done to send a msg about what’s going to be acceptable in this organization.

Not moving anyone is basically saying “it’s ok boys we’ll get em’ next time”

I get it... but sometimes GMs have to send a message... it’s part of the job... not everything is about numbers... you’re still dealing with people
