I mean, has anybody actually heard Brisebois talk to the media once since they won the Cups?
- AdamFrench


I know firsthand in Pittsburgh, only a handful get any attention (Crosby, Lemieux, Malkin, Letang, Fleury, head coach at the time). Their executives and most players never have any issues. Steelers have major issues, but not Penguins. And Pittsburgh is a more dedicated NHL city than most. Like you said, southern US cities wouldn't have a clue who Dubas is ever. Much less care about his family.

Dubas will now be an unheralded undervalued genius.
- AdamFrench


Until he signs back with the Leafs as President.

Then he'll suck again.

You have to think this was Dubas' decision.
Would be tough to have outsider come in and make the decisions that need to be made in such a short period of time.
1. NMC for Matthews / Marner
2. Draft
Right around the corner
Shanahan probably handles GM duties with Pridham through the draft and Matthews extension and obviously new GM hire.
Decision on Marner / Nylander trade need to happen quick too.

Edit: Looks like press release says "Club has decided to part ways". So he got fired.

Well, now everything will be okay. All milk will be bovine, all needs met, all anxieties tranquilized.

So...if I were to guess...with zero information

Shanny won the war and will remain President.

They will either promote Pridham or hire Tulsky.

They will bring in an old hand as an AGM like Jim Benning to be the "minder"

He already has a job. Cheerleader for the soft pussies who need a daddy in the room to change their diapers.

Had a feeling he wasn’t liking the Toronto attention for his family. Can’t blame him.
- Dozzer

The press release says "the Leafs have parted ways with Dubas".

MLSE's decision.

I don’t care what they do as long as they hire Bruce in some capacity.

I was in the keep Dubas camp.

Now I think everything is on the table. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade Matthews now. Maybe the new gm wants to play hardball with matthews. Who knows.

Meh. He was good not great. Made his share of mistakes like every GM.
Let go of Verhaeghe and Marchment for nothing.
Protected Holl over McCann in expansion draft.
for instance.

Leafs have a lot of big decisions to make very quickly and it's obvious they didn't want Dubas to make them.

That one was Lou.

The being nice to guys and moving them along where they would have success (Barabanov/Marchment etc.) was a Dubas special though.

I hope there is clarification on this at the 3pm meeting and not equivocated language requiring the insiders to discern the true outcome.
