Quoting: Janasazi
I know, but Dubas isn't as talented as getting those kind of trades like the CBJ GM is. What Columbus got was amazing and it made Chicago look like fools.
Dubas got Muzzin for Bjornfot, Durzi and Grundstrom. None of those three are anything significant as of now, and the only that really the potential to be is Bjornfot.
He also got a 3C/2LW and a #2 (at the time) dman for Kadri. Barrie didn’t work out but Kerfoot as been amazing. Arguably better than Kadri.
He got Amirov + Hallander for Kapanen….
He then traded Hallander for McCann, which allowed us to keep Kerfoot and Holl.
He got Hirvonen and Niemela for Tyler Klevens.
He got our STARTING GOALIE for 2 3rds and Moore.
He got Sandin and SDA for Dominik Bokk.
I am pretty sure he is also the guy (interim at the time) who got Hyman and a 7th for Greg McKegg.
So I’m not sure what “talent” you’ve been watching, but the only bad trade Dubas has made is the Foligno trade. And even that trade looked good at the time.
