Well at least the fleeing Dubasites know who they’re phonypony-ing away to now.

Year 1 he actually didnt make many moves. 2 huge ones in Tavares and Muzzin, and i think muzzin falls under the GRITZ umbrella right off the bat.
In year 1 people saw Dubas let Komarov Polak and Martin leave but the two forwards were already in the press box the previous playoffs and Polak was replaced by Ozhiganov whose only talent was physicality too. And then he brought in Ennis and Lindholm amd traded lindholm for petan and the small soft narrative was set.
But Clifford (and Harpur, Shore) came in year 2.
Simmonds Bogosian Foligno Nash year 3.

This just cements that Dubas wasn’t here for the long haul one way or the other. If Shanny extends him he likely leaves before the contract is up anyway.
hell probably end up as president of Fenway or something before the Pens even start their rebuild.

To be fair, Dubas said:
And he waited like almost two weeks. Man of his word.

Id say it’s more likely the presser was true, Shanny was being honest when he said the presser made him start to consider others….Pitt got word of Shanny looking/talking to others, communicated the Prez offer through agents, Kyle & agent make Leafs counter to “match” based off that Pens offer…they balk, he walk.
Pretty fair all around imo, aside from caring about his presser, but obviously majority agree with Shanny there,
(edit: I’m sure Pitt was more than happy to share anything they heard, with Kyles agent too,
)

I still don't like the coaching and the on ice player usage... I know that is not on Dubas, but....

also I think it was @hockeylover who said to me, that Shanny probably knew Kyle had received a President offer, based on their asks….hence why Shanny’s presser was as weird as it was.
He kinda took a bullet for him in that instance then too,

I can't help but like the guy. I still like him and still want him to succeed. He was part of the driving force of my aggressive Leafs fandom. I wanted a nerd to be a winner. Turns out he wasn't a nerd but maybe he gets back to his roots in Pitt. I hope so. He had a lot of promise.
