What exactly has Dumbas done? He signed a guy that quite obviously had made his mind up he was going there regardless of making less...and???

and he didn't lose JVR and Bozak for nothing come July 1st!

Take THAT!

but he learned a lot about taxes

He also traded down at the draft AND still got his guy.

Ah!

What do you have to say about THAT? HUH?

The bottom of the draft was wide open and guys were ranked sometimes with a 30-40 position spread. Doesn’t mean anything.

I know it irks you that the Oilers are lousy, the Leafs are cup favorites and that elusive 3rd brain cell still escapes you. But please try to cope.

You're right. The people that designed and produced that Leafs bed spread are the ones who deserve the credit for that Tavares signing.

If MLSEL wasn't so damn greedy, they should give Leafs bed spreads to every ten year old hockey player in Canada and reap the rewards in 8 years.

With who?

Oilers is where good coaches go to die. I like the oilers too, but they are mess.

Agreed. Win a round and then he can talk Dubas doing something.

Hey! You're all over these boards! Criticizing everything anyone ever posts. Impressive. Where's your website? You know everything, surely that'd be a better website place for all of us to visit... where the one guy's opinion trumps everyone else's.

Send me the link, I'll visit.

Favorite part from the bozak tribune.

“I’ve been texting James Van Riemsdyk pretty often the last few weeks. We’ve been talking about how weird it’s going to be not playing together. He was my linemate for a long time in Toronto, and I owe him a lot for my success — he’s a great friend. We’re both going to miss playing for this city. But we know this: You’re in good hands, Toronto. The next few years are going to be a lot of fun. Believe in Kyle Dubas and the talent you have. Auston, William and Mitch can do anything. Trust me, I saw them in practice every day, they’re special.”

I think a lot of players believe in Dubas too.

He was the next Scotty Bowman until he went to Edmonton.

To be fair, he did call him Dumbas. So that was pretty cool.

You should probably be more concerned about another Toronto boy who plays for the Oilers who is taking note of what Tavares just did.

If Matthews wants to go home, hopefully mcdavid does too.

So everyone saying that Matthews will want to go home to Arizona in a few years, the same can be said about mcdavid so it doesn’t look like that bad of a thing.

Forgive us for being a little excited about landing one of the biggest UFA’s ever.

Sorry man

How are you an expert at how Tavares isn't going to sign with the Leafs and how he absolutely is going to sign with the Leafs at the same time ??

Tavares said Dubas made an excellent pitch....come on. Don't act like you knew Tavares was going to sign in Toronto all along

You certainly acted like he wasn't for a long time
