To be honest I don't envy the position Dubas was in. I didn't want him to mortgage the future and over pay at the deadline because this team is nowhere near a serious contender I would of just liked to see a few minor moves to upgrade the D in the short term. Demelo for a 3rd, Mike green for a poop player and a 4th, Gustafsson for a 3rd. Just a few examples.

Except we didn't have that 3rd rd pick available for trade. It was used in the Campbell/Clifford trade

exactly... if a good deal was available for Barrie - then you put yourself in the position to take it.

no one has forgotten about it.. but the TRUTH is that a deal for a back-up goalie should have happened a long time ago... not last month.

so yes Dubas made a good deal ...

how different does the season look if he had made that deal (if available) in the summer?

stop before typing - I'm not a Dubas "hater", I'm also not a Dubas wife or husband ...

kudos for making the deal
booh for waiting to make it

He has already spent a ton of our futures. We are missing a number of picks, and honestly, what is left on the farm at this point.

He finally decided this team had not shown enough to warrant throwing more assets at it.

Wait and see was the right move.

I like how a lot of fans judged Dubas on not even a complete season full of injuries. Like who wants their work at their day job judged when it's only 60% complete?

The problem with Boston is special teams.

Boston crushes the Leafs on special teams, making the "good, veteran non-call"s all the more impactful.

Then get some "good veterans". Oh wait - trade deadline passed.
