Perhaps … I don’t see him as having the influence or guiding principles of Trotz or Lou.

The deadline additions and how Trotz got the guys to adjust after losing Lee was impressive.

Being able to slide Clutterbuck up and down the line up and not lose much in the way of performance is smart coaching.

I can just see Hyman going to the Isles to replace Martin and tormenting the leafs for years.

Dont care where he goes, as long as hes not with the leafs on another bloated dubas contract

Fire the GM, he’s overpaid a few guys.

And they all took it.

*I like Dubas, so don’t fire him Shanny.

Dubas caved to player's demands on salary, the team payroll set up is now brutal, he should be fired!

He should also be decaffeinated!

That’s my point … that sly fox will get to him to sign for 4 yrs @ 3.5 or some reduced number… because… well who knows why… it’ll just happen …


Hyman is exactly the kind of player the Leafs should be making an investment in. Let’s see if Dubas can convince him to stay at a reasonable # & earn some of that GM jack he’s getting ….

Korn has been the goalie coach for guys with above .920sv%'s for 3 decades with dozens of different goalies. It's insane.

The D class is really good next offseason.

I don’t think they’d have much trouble replacing rielly if they needed to.

Also hoping Sandin and Liljergen makes strides they can probably sign another Brodie instead of an expensive Rielly

He’s good but we don’t need to pay him like a 65 point 30 goal power forward

Let someone else do that

That is indeed impressive. That may be the reason that Isles can roll whatever goalie they want out there and still be competitive.

However you want to attribute it, whatever formula the Isles have, it’s working year after year recently. And there consistency in how they play, No matter the injuries, remarkable.

Nor should anybody… I think with a flat cap world for the next, what at least 2 yrs… You’ll see less of the ridiculous deals… Dubas should try and capitalize on that, starting with Hyman.

CJ says he hears teams gearing up to offer 6X6....

I’m preparing for no Hyman next year. If he signs for far less than great but I’m doubting it.

Like not giving Marner schedule B bonuses, which in turn came back to haunt us by tacking that onto his deal?

Marner at 9M would mean we could probably keep Hyman.

Yeah that definitely caused an issue.

Marner lost money on his ELC. 99% of players like him were getting those bonuses.

Every GM ever has his misses / redos… in the scheme of things I think the ledger favors Lou over the years.

His track record is pretty damn good… Dubas could do a lot worse than emulating a little bit of Lou.
