What are you on about? Words have meanings. Because muppets in the media have (intentionally imo) misused a well defined term, I'm forced to own their stupid usage of it?

I'm also curious to see if he ends up interviewing.

I supported bringing Dubas back before because I was worried they’d hire some dinosaur and spend another decade in the wilderness. Still kind of am, tbh. But Shanahan has had decent instincts so far, so I’ll wait and see.
Dubas has been good, but there are lots of guys that could do as well with the resources this organization has. Even just the list of GM’s that have been hired since Dubas that arguably have their teams in equal or better positions is not really that short—Waddell, Zito, Drury, Francis, Brisebois, McCrimmon… That’s 1/5 of the league. So there are obviously other options.
Shanahan is right to hold out for someone who really wants the job and can handle the pressure, IMO. It’s one of the best gigs in sports. Whoever finally breaks through will be a hero forever.

he should go to Pittsburgh and waste the last few years of their elite core.

Let's remember Shanny was the one who chose Dubas in the first place over Hunter and others.

Would be like travelling 10 years into the future and finishing the job he started here.

Is that what the presser at 3 is about?

He unfortunately hired Lou also. I don't want a Lou.

But only for 3 years, after one of the worst tenures by a Leafs GM of all time. Lou helped turn the organization around. Seems fine to me in retrospect.

bruh such a dumb sword to die on. You know what people mean when they say it, you are just being obtuse for some reason. If you want to be the grammar and dictionary police, have at it. But I think you just have something up your butt

Lou was the right guy for the job at that time. So was Babs.
They brought respectability and credibility to the organization, and they did right the ship.
Lou then got to the end of his deal and Dubie took over. Babs set himself on fire, and there wasn't really any way to predict that.

First of all...don't kink shame, it's not nice.
Second of all, "Lame Duck" has always had a connotation of an exec who doesn't have the power to make moves anymore. Literally always. You have two choices here. You can go about your day happy that you learned something new, or you can continue being a cunt because I gently corrected you. Your call.
