I think they have similar reputations as young, fresh, analytics focused minds, and I just think Dubas is much better at it. I don't think Chayka is a very good GM.


Chayka doesn't have 40M wrapped up into 4 players. Chayka put together a SOLID and cheap team. They just haven't popped off yet. Once they do, I bet you that team will be crazy good in the playoffs. I dont think there's anything Dubas has done that gives him the better name.

Did he not reject the opportunity of being the Leafs new GM?


Shanohan chose Dubas for his young and new unconventional ideas. His resume was great with the greyhounds and Shanohan thought it was perfect. Now hunter would have also been a great GM but when he wasnt chosen I guess he decided it was time to go. However that said if the position was offered again and they contracted him im sure they would accept

Kyle Dubas is fine. No need for a new gm. If Dubas had to go I would rather bring back Mark Hunter.

Dubas only issue was the Matthews and Marner contracts. We can work around that. Other than that his other contracts and draft picks have been fine.


Work around that? Lol that's the main problem with Toronto. They can't work around it. They literally have half their cap wrapped into 4 player. I get being optimistic, but my lord.

Stars sell tickets, but the Leafs have never been hurting for fans. Imagine the Leafs being better defensively and almost as good offensively after trading Matthew's and Marner. The Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup with Matthew's and Marner. Mark my words.



Stars win games and cups. I’m going to pass on your crystal ball.

Your stars haven't won anything and you have half your cap wrapped into 4 players. Good luck to you.

I think the best thing he has done as the GM was trading for Jake Muzzin. I hope the Kyle Clifford trade is an indication of Dubas trying a new path and bringing physicality or players with heart to the team. I want to see what he can do for one more season

they can just move one or two of them. With his 31 goals Nylander can be moved pretty easily. Marner with his contract would be tricky, but alot of rebuilding teams would jump at the chance to grab him.

Star power do not win games or cups. If they did, they could beat a 42 year old zamboni driver. Want to know what wins games and cups? Heart and playing for what is at the front of the crest. Look at the teams like the Blues, Bruins, Avalanche, Capitals, Canes, Islanders and other organizations excluding the Leafs. They all play for what is at the front of their jerseys. The Leafs play for the name at the back.

You can't win solely on star power white collar guys. Every team needs blue collar role player. Not only that, they need the cap to put a great complete team on the ice to win a stanley cup.

They are going to be just like the Sharks if Dubas doesn't change some things or they dont fire him. Always making the playoffs, but losing in the 1st, 2and, and 3rd rounds because they dont have a complete team with heart and soul.

Omg they are like 23 and Tavares has been here for one playoff, clearly all their careers are over.

You seem very concerned with Toronto’s well being for someone who hates them. I’ve noticed a lot of thinly veiled jealousy on this site though.

How about starting with winning more than 3 playoff games before you start talking about cups

You need to move both Marner and Matthews/Tavares. Choose wisely out of the last two.

Any GM that is dumb enough to wrap half the cap into 4 players will suffer the consequences every year in the playoffs. I hate to break it to you, I mean, I know you think your prince is doing a good job and all.

You should be concerned when Matthews contract ends in five years all due to Dubas' incapabilities of getting him to sign for 8. Once those five years are up, meet the Bruins newest player, number 34, Auston Matthews.

That's because they were still able to put a complete team on the ice. Your team is not complete and it doesn't look good for the future unless you trade Matthews and Marner.

The number was too high for 8 year term. He may re sign with the leafs or he may move on. Either way you have no clue so maybe stow the crystal ball for a bit.

I'm actually very happy to be a Kings fan. I rather be in the Kings situation than then Leafs who are in for a LOT of disappointment in the near future.

They are 23 and combine for over 22M in cap lol...

The number was too high for him to sign a max contract with a contending team? How come it is not too high for Eichel to sign an 8 year contract with a re-building team?

Sure seems complete. I like the team. I mean we pushed Boston to 7 games twice in a row. They’re exciting to watch. I’m happy. You seem upset though.

I don't think the Yotes are more than a middle of the pack team, and I don't think he's done a good job of setting them up to be more than that.

I think player development, and asset management under Chayka have not been good enough. They don't do a great job of developing young players, and when they trade them, they go on to be much better players elsewhere.

Complete? You know what it means to have a complete team? Your defense is atrocious. The only way you win is by outscoring the amount of goals scored on you. That doesn't fly in the playoffs as you've already seen. I mean if you're happy with a great regular season/1st round team then so be it lmao
