The Search for the New GM Thread

Preston said:
Of course but enough to make it a determining factor of whether one stays or goes? They aren't in a committed relationship. They can still text each other long distance.

sure...but people are understandably emotional in the immediate aftermath and think of all sorts of things for a while before re-assessing that "life goes on and where I am is a good fit"

Of course. I just don't exactly think dubas leaving is gonna result in Matthews turning down 50+ million dollars guaranteed. No one is that close. I think mirtle is mostly fighting for his boy here, I really do. It's all speculative. No source told him that Matthews will leave if they hire a different gm.

while players are unlikely to stay or go based on dubas losing his job, they may not be willing to sign a long term contract extension with the direction of the club up in the air

The direction of the franchise isn’t up in the air if they ask nylander and Matthews to sign long term extensions.

For all its challenges the Leafs are a pretty fucking amazing situation for a GM to fall into. Talent, cap space, tons of resources.

You need a guy that has been in this position before imo. Your window is open rn.

McPhee does fit the bill for a 2-3 year interim then groom his replacement.
 
This is all so ridiculous. If on Monday shanahan announced he wasn’t resigning dubas because in 5 years he couldn’t get them over the hump and felt a change in direction was needed, these conversations would all be very different despite the basic facts of the matter being the same. .

agreed..
 
Myrtle is just writing column inches. Until someone from the inside actually speaks up, this is all pure speculation.
This is a gift to columnists. A Leaf story to write about in May.

disagree....the potential schism between Shanahan/Dubas was always going to come forward during the autopsy

But there was no schism. Until Thursday shanahan was prepared to make dubas one of the highest paid gms in the league. The schism only comes to light on Friday, and entirely based on media narrative that is just feeding off the situation

If I read this on Twitter I'd think you were a trumper

you still have to look for one before you determine there isn't one

and honestly, what makes you so confident? you can't speculate that everything was fine while criticizing others also speculating
 
CJs article is the most reasonable one. Called Dubas out for fucking up his hand because he’ll never find as good of a situation.

The media suck sucking of Dubas makes everything pro Dubas they are saying highly questionable. Seems pretty biased.

Well shanny laid bare his perceptions and actions, so the cock sucking is all they have to go on to make a story.
 
I mean all the discussion and intrigue is cause we don't know exactly what went on and are all curious as hell cause either Dubas gave up on his plan and started doubting himself or got pressure from above or some other option we haven't considered.

And if his marriage is indeed on the rocks due to his job? What then?

Honest question?
