<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EverybodyLoveEverybody</b></div><div>I'm confident that these contracts all landed under the issue of "want me to play for Babcock? pay me." I'm prepared to be called a moron for this, so have at it. Yes, blame it on management, because they're responsible.

In an alternate universe, everything is copacetic. Take out Toronto media and the rabid Twitter "fanalysts" scrutinizing every time someone farts, you have a better hockey team. Again, have at it, yes I'm a dumb idiot for saying this because all of these players are emotionless robots who aren't phased by anything. Look at how many players go play in another city and do well. Nobody breathes down their neck every time they screw up.

At this point, Marner and Tavares should get traded so they can go to work without being called a piece of human garbage by their fanbase daily.</div></div>

You are very right about Toronto media and fanbase, it is very bipolar. That being said, I'm not ****ting on Marner, just think he's overpaid. Not ****ting on Tavares, just don't think he's the right fit here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EverybodyLoveEverybody</b></div><div>Totally, I think things started with the right intentions. I do think they're both integral to the success of this team but that's just my feeling. It doesn't mean I'm right, but I'm naive and optimistic.

A lot of people fail to recognize that they were signed pre-covid with the hopes of a cap ceiling going up significantly. Every team has had to adapt, but Dubas was snakebitten by trying to secure his core. Either way, it's just adapt or die for Dubas. I just think people need to lighten the f up.. I'm a Leafs fan but the dehumanization of these players and the brass.. man. It makes watching the game less fun.

Our entire fanbase gaslights the whole organization and if/when they win, all will be forgiven. It's horrid.</div></div>

I'm definitely not one of those fans who says they should trade such and such player for having a bad game, a coach for sitting a certain player, or a GM for a bad trade, I'm just looking at Dubas' career as a whole and think he could/should have made some more wise decisions with his team. He has the dollar power to do it and is backed by Shanahan and Rogers, and like I said made some great moves as a pro and scout trader, but I don't think he should be gm, I think they should keep him on as a scout if they don't progress this year in the playoffs, which looks very unlikely. Although he'll probably get a GM job somewhere else pretty easily.
