Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

Little anecdote for you, Hughes said Dubas had the hardest job in the league and it isn't even close. He responded to this when asked how he's dealing with the hardest job in the league.

That’s why Hughes was a highly successful agent…

Dubas has one of the easiest jobs in the league. He manages a team that sells out every game at the highest ticket prices in all Christendom despite not having won a championship since before he was born. He also has a slavishly devoted media contingent that doesn't so much report on the team as it fellates it. Look at the playoff results Dubas has had and ask yourself if he would still have a job if he was in any other market. It's a joke how easy his job actually is. It only appears difficult. Running the Habs actually comes with danger attached. That fanbase has proven it is capable of physical violence. Leafs fans never get that angry. Maybe if they did their Cup drought wouldn't be as ridiculous as it is.

Habs and Leafs have idiots in the media who are not content unless they throw jobs or ask stupid questions

You are truly a biased idiot where the Leafs are concerned. Stop the drivel man. Look at them like a normal rival than visceral hatred.
 
Dubas inherited an amazing core. All he had to worry about is bolstering the bottom lines and find a goalkeeper.

He also benefits from an unlimited budget to hire the best coaches, scouts, advisors, analytics, psychologists, medics, and everything else that can give his team an edge on the margins.

Sure, answering a bunch of questions from a packed house of cynical journalists is annoying, but it doesn't really consume more than 10 hrs out of his year.

Yup and he fucked it up on July 2, 2018
 
BTW, I think he's done a pretty good job. Not his fault Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner turn into average players come playoff time.

Also, last year's first round playoff loss came against an elite team, and the margin was super slim.

That was entirely different from similar results vs Habs and Jackets in years prior. Those were pure choke jobs.
 
I think Dubas has done a pretty decent job also, considering he had to work around two major Lou fuckups (Zaitsev & Marleau) that really threw a wrench into the cogs.

Overloading on offense while ignoring defense/goalies, however, will ultimately be his downfall.

PS: I still maintain the Leafs' window is closing very rapidly and this season has done nothing to change my view on that.

He pushed his poker chips in the middle of the rebuild table way too fucken early

Those 2 Lou contracts were in the funnel , Duby didnt know how to work around it

He went all in before his team could barely walk and used his nerdy stats bible to build his flawed roster

Instead of collecting trash this summer , make the push for Burns and Kubalik
