The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

Glasses now has more respect from me than ever. Rock and a hard place and both sides had options. That's fucking negotiating.

Go grandma! There was interference from above, I'm now certain as Keefe is still there.
 
As reported previously in the aftermath of the Leafs elimination, Shanahan and Dubas had been at odds for a while. On Friday, more details emerged on that front. Multiple sources close to the team said that Shanahan had blocked transactions that Dubas wanted to make at key points in the past several seasons, creating frustration in parts of the management group. Shanahan had also at times dictated certain moves he wanted made that Dubas didn’t agree with.

The president, as per his place in the hierarchy, typically won out in those battles. And, in some cases, the moves that weren’t made could have improved the Leafs’ ability to advance further in the playoffs.

makes a lot of sense with some of the moves that made zero sense from Dubs perspective. this makes me even more concerned with the direction they will go in the new gm

They made their first offer….the agent made a counter offer.


Shanny balked cause of the presser…

Dont agree with that. He said he worked with the agent since the deadline and got to what looked like a final framework with dubas being checked in on (per the agent). Assuming this includes counters.

Dubas took that final negotiated offfee and then asked for more. How I took what shanny said
 
Part of me hopes Dubas goes full AA and goes somewhere else and wins a cup. Maybe Ottawa as that article suggests.

Although if he does.... Dorion actually isn't terrible, is he?

Like miles better than treliving, right?

Ugh.

If Shanahan thinks he can be the GM, be the fucking GM

of course he's far too smart to do that, as we can see from him still being here after 9 years

That's exactly correct. Don't use a puppet as a shield from the press. Pussy should if he's getting his fingers in there consistently. Maybe the issue is the Shanaplan itself?
 
Jeez. The Mirtle article paints a kinda terrifying picture.

Explicitly says that Shanny has been influencing/interfering in personnel decisions, from “multiple sources”.

Getting a little messy.

Swap GMS. Take dorion for now
 
That's a disaster and would explain Kyle's bizarre shift from "what does safe even mean?" And "your eyes are lying sons of bitches" to acquiring scrubs who can't complete a pass. I thought he may have done that shift on his own but if that was all shanny then what a fucking absolute disaster.

I don't know why Dubas talked to the press...he should have talked to his wife...and then spend some time in an Aaron Rodgers style dark cave until he figured out if he wanted the job, and at what price...

Or talked to his wife back in March when asked by shanny and Dubas apparently went away for a week to speak to his family…it’s not like this came out of no where. He has months to speak to his family before this one presser. It didn’t make sense why he let it play out this way. I have to assume it’s something none of us could imagine for him to not already have all needed conversations
