Leafs Vs Panthers

[MindzEye]

So you dont expect dubas to be sitting on his hands.....
Tell me what do you expect?
His trade of leivo has everyone in an uproar
His signing of nylander is question
able, and I mean why not earlier, or just let him sit.
Dubas has done nothing to write home about .... oh yea, he signed tavares. I think that Shanahan and others had more to do with it.
Dubas wont do anything, he will use the term " stay the course" and let the youngsters develop.
For all the comments about lou, I have to smile because Lou has the big prize, and has repeatedly ran successful organizations.
What has dubas done?

Wait...who is questioning the nylander deal?

As for what dubas has done....well he did land one of the biggest free agents in nhl history during his first free agency period, so there's that.

The big positive for me is that Dubas hasn’t done much yet, actually.

Most other newbie GMs might have been looking to put their stamp on the team, resulting in some stupid trade. The Nylander situation actually gave him the perfect opportunity. But instead of dealing him, he pulled out all the stops to retain him. That was a big deal for me.

I’m sure the trades will come, but thankfully probably nothing earth shaking because we’re not going to deal our big young studs. Maybe a Johnsson trade is on the horizon, but nothing too big other than whatever the eventual deal to bring in the big RHD shakes out to be.

Winnipeg staying the course looks smart. A lot of people crapped on Chevi for that.

well, at least it's the fourth line we can't ever seem to figure out, and not the first.

at this point I think our fourth line problems are more a result of willful blindness than anything else
