It’s not lying when he’s agreeing with me!

He’s got a team that is a legitimate contender. They’re favourites to win the division, remember? Does he think they’re good enough to beat the Av’s or that winning the division is enough? If not, he’s got to upgrade and pointing to this interview when he doesn’t act won’t do him any good.

There’s no GM that can’t make moves. Dubas will trade

- Canada Cup

Dubas to Lebrun today we expect “our three goalies between roster and taxi squad to be Freddie Andersen, Jack Campbell and Michael Hutchinson.”

This seems like, potentially, an outright lie.

Buffalo, Arizona and Calgary are going to have to lower their asking price.

Would love to get Max right now. Trade Kerfoot and drop him in 3C with Micheyev and Simmonds

If it’s potentially a lie, it’s potentially the truth and potentially an unknown given uncertain medical information. Also, you left out a key section “we have until the deadline to evaluate”.

They’re not going to trade until they know they have to. He’s not doing that now.

If they come to the conclusion they need insurance, they’ll get someone

You gotta think he has a lead on a goalie and what it will cost, but is going to give Freddie as long as possible before making that call.

I feel like he should do it anyway. Campbell and Freddie have not been healthy most of the season and I am not sure it looks like something that just suddenly gets better, for either of them.

MLSE has to have the best sports medicine people available. He’s not going to not listen to them. I don’t mean they’ll decide but they should be able to provide a pretty good sense of probabilities. Obviously that doesn’t cover some yahoo landing on them just like nothing covered Muzzin dying last year.

Unless he hears there’s a problem, he’s got higher priorities.

I also think he has a bunch of potential deals lined up

it would not surprise me to see him wait until the deadline to pull the trigger, unless some other team makes and acceptable offer for someone the Leafs are targeting. There is no rush. A few more days are not going to affect the Leafs' chances much.

My original point is that Kyle Dubas's statements to the media should never be taken at face value.

He has lied in the past. He will lie again.*

So any speculation based on his quotes should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism.

* Again, this is good GM strategy.

So you don't think GM's play mind games with each other or the media? Awesome.

Yes, Jedi mind games fool other GMs into thinking they don’t want to trade for the goalie they are calling to trade for. Befuddled GM lowers price because of quote where Dubas says he anticipates his three goalies will be Andersen, Campbell and Hutchinson.

Feel the force - Kyle

The reality is that he says they’re not in a position to make a final decision right now, but all things being equal, he anticipates his goalies to be the three he has. How does that fool anybody?

Nahh, GM's around the league don't play the propaganda and manipulation game to try to gain advantages on other GMs.

Nope. They're can all read each other's minds and won't fall for any tricks n' stuff.

The reality is that you have absolutely zero insight into what is going on right now in Dubas's head. You can take what he says at face value, but historically, what he has said hasn't always matched what actually transpired.

GMs definitely never, ever get fooled or manipulated by other GMs. Never happens and the media is never a tool they would ever dare think of using.

No, sir!

Id bet money he's genuine on those 3, unless they get last second bad news on Andersen.

As much as I don't like it.
