Dubas hints Cody Ceci's metrics internally reflected his value defensively and that that information will cast him in different light if/when data like that becomes public.


ill (frank)ing puke if Ceci plays 1 more shift for the leafs

So you're saying he's sleeping, no I did not know otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
And I agree, I think he's sleeping.

Problem is Dubas is a GM of a sports team. If an exec doesn’t get evaluated by the results, how does he get evaluated? How woke he is?

Probably deserves more than 2 years....

Don’t read too much into this.

Seriously, when have you ever gained valuable information from these things? Ever?

Did you miss the part where I said getting judged in hindsight IS a part of the discussion?

The next level of insight is to qualify that hindsight. Why did Dubas (and most others) believe Barrie would be an upgrade on D and yet he was an utter failure? The mistake wasn't necessarily the trade ..it was the result. How the (frank) did this guy go from being a marketable 7-8 Milly per year d'man to being a PP specialist that couldn't play on one of the leagues best PP's? That's the analysis that goes on amongst the real decision makers.

It's not as simple as "it didn't work out so lets fire everyone".

I have to agree with this guy you're all calling Garth. 4 years of the same thing, poop has to be done.
Everything else he says is pure crap though.

He will, but the moves he made have been underwhelming to say the least.

He should get the boot next year if there is no palpable progress, which I won’t count on unless there are big changes.

i dont think he thinks that..i think they desperately needed a rhd..and

I think he had to pay him a certain amount to play..cuz of the min offer thingy
also, I think the leafs needed to get to a certain cap #, in order to be able to put players on LTIR..to fit the fat MM/AM contracts

They should really just revoke his press pass.

Getting one word answers to his questions and calling him out on his bullpoop is great and all, but he doesn't deserve to be paid and have the access he has.

Carolina wins and I win my Point Spread.

Carolina loses and I still win my Point Spread but I get $50 less.

Come the (frank) on Carolina!

maybe, but i dont see it as not taking responsibility

Dubas: "The standings don't really lie... that was what we were."

Shanahan expresses complete confidence in Dubas and Keefe. But admits in some ways the Leafs have taken a step back this season.


these are not dumb people, they obv see what went on

He had to pay him cause he accepted Ottawa's qualifying offer.

That data evaluation should be tossed into the (frank)ing trash if it says anything other than he was an absolute piece of (frank)ing garbage.

Kyle Dubas: "I don't get the criticism of Mitch Marner one bit."

Kyle Dubas: "I don't get the criticism of Mitch Marner one bit. I really struggle with it. He's a guy that plays his ass off every night."

Dubas says the criticism of Mitch Marner in the market is one of the most "idiotic" things he sees.

nobody cares if he plays his butthole off every night. the guy needs to produce. lots of guys play their bumholes off every night but they don't eat up a huge chunk of cap space after holding the team over a barrel...

the public data also doesnt show he wasnt trash...there is always going to be those players who clash with the eye test vs stats.

trying to understand why/where that difference lies is interesting.

I am perfectly fine saying his stats are not terrible..but average'ish and never seeing him again.

the Sens got to the conference finals with Ceci and Phaneuf... sometimes stuff doesnt make sense
