The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

I'm not sure that all Leafs fans would handle Tulsky as GM very well. You have to accept that there will be moves that on the surface seem to make little sense and no player on the roster will be paid over that their calculated value is. Fan favorites will be allowed to walk or traded before they reach their deal.

It's a different approach. You have to put full faith in the plan while watching some of your top UFAs walk. It's worth it in the end, but you all have seen all the gloom and doom derision about how the Canes build a roster. It's different.

That's exactly what Dubas was supposed to be. I'd love it, but yeah fans would be freaking out. But who cares what the fans think really? Kyle let it get to him, maybe mini Zuck is as sociopathic as the real Zuck and doesn't care?

And I still think Canes success is in large part due to Brindy's coaching. Not a fan.

I'm also a favorites guy. I want great players to get paid and stay. I'm not going to like someone that puts too much of an emphasis on the money and letting guys go.

sounds like you want that Dubas guy

Hope you cretins are happy, opening up this hellscape of a timeline.


….if we hire a fucking “hockey guy“

Well if there was interference from above Kyle, that changes everything and the Leafs were doomed regardless since they wouldn't even let the nerd do his job.

But if not, let's see who they hire. Because Kyle was that "hockey guy" by the end. Make no mistake.
 
Dubie's big problem was that for whatever reason he allowed himself to be diverted from a plan that put emphasis on and exploited speed and skill. If he'd just stuck with that shit, we'd have had more success, I'm sure of it.

Now we risk seeing someone fucking miss that basic point and instead of doing some aggressive therapy, perform open heart surgery on the team.

…you can’t pull this now! 😂… I warned you guys that was a possibility…(and likely, given the kinds of moves we were seeing).

so still all the cretin crews fault for whatever’s coming…..

if they miraculously don’t go opposite direction of the last hire, as most franchises do..and hire a Tulsky type and it works out, all praise to the cretins.

We’re only going to know the truth if Dubas is a Harvey’s aficionado and bumps into LOF for a moment while waiting in line

I can believe you know who Brind Amour is
 
i think Dubas did a good enough job to deserve a shot with a new coach. keefe was clearly the one that needed to go and somehow many end up staying. while we certainly may be able to find an upgrade on dubs, one that can finally get us over the hump, chances are we end up taking a huge step back here. i still cant help but feel he had his hand forced a little bit the last couple of years with some of the grit acquisitions. im left very anxious about the future direction of the team.

It was always a possibility but it still feels like a cop-out until it's actually confirmed. He has maintained many times that he has full autonomy. Could be a lie but until it's proven he was the GM and he made those personnel decisions, so it's on him.

If he truly was babysat by Shanny and upper management then he should get that leaked to the media.
