Thread: The Dumbest trade Dubas Made Reverted
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>Alright since you evidently love Lou and despise Dubas, lets break down Lous tenure:

- Traded Verhaeghe for Grabner (Who was pretty good, but Verhaeghe was young and we were a rebuilding team)
- Traded Reimer for almost nothing
- Acquired Andersen for a TON
- Traded Bernier for literally nothing
- Traded a second for Brian Boyle
- Signed Martin to a bad contract
- Signed Zaitsev to a contract that resulted in us losing Brown
- Signed Marleau to a rancid contract that resulted in us losing a first</div></div>

Never said I despise Dubas and love Lou, Lou never had a good tenure as a Leafs GM and something I can admit. The only thing I like Lou over Dubas for is the structure they play, tight defensively sound, physical hockey. Dubas has made a lot of good moves (Campbell, Muzzin, signing Bunting, Kase, and Kampf), but it's the lack of physical presence that I don't like and something that should be fixed. I'm not saying go out there and be the most physical team, but if you lay only 6 hits a game, that's embarrassing. No one stood up for Rielly when he was hit by Trouba. No one stood up for Tavares when he was hit by Martin, they need to show a pulse when they get pushed around
