Dr. Crossbar Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 7 minutes ago, Sean Monahan said: Keefe was Dubas’ guy in SSM and I believe Dubas is the one who hired him to coach the Marlies too. Dubas has been waiting to make this move since day one. As much as I think Babs is overrated, I think this mess still falls on Dubas. A couple years ago Babs coached the Leafs (minus Tavares) to a 100+ point season. Dubas has depleted the depth through massive contracts to four forwards, somehow made their defence worse, and failed to find a backup goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycry Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I think Bab took the fall for Dubas...not Babcock's fault Dubas committed 40 million of their cap space to 4 players, and when their players are going through a rough patch without secondary scoring, down goes the team...Hockey is a team sport, not a one line sport. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted November 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2019 This is an opportunity for Benning to be bold, but I don't think he will be. He will stay the course - because it's a process (yawn) Maybe by "process", they mean lose a lot, get draft picks and possibly design a 5th jersey to keep fans interested. But seriously, I think he wants to give Green every chance to win with this team. Loyalty has been this organization's Achilles Heal IMO. Keep the Sedins forever, keep Edler forever, no way they'll trade Tanev, trying to appreciate the PK effectiveness of the $6 Million Dollar Man even though he threw his coach under the bus, give Newell Brown an extension for his amazing drop pass, etc. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Shanahan and Dubas: let's build a roster where 4 forwards who don't play a defensive game take up almost 50% of the cap. Also Shanahan and Dubas: Let's fire Babcock for not making the team play better defensively and replace him with our boy Keefe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Aquilinis are going to settle for a lot of losing anymore. If the team doesn't make the playoffs, Benning is most likely gone. 1 minute ago, NUCKER67 said: But seriously, I think he wants to give Green every chance to win with this team.

Edler has been a workhorse that Green is still leaning too heavily on. Tanev's value is better served as a player than a menial draft pick in a later round. Screw Eriksson. Brown's extension is as bad an idea as the Eriksson extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master 112 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Not sure why they would fire someone who thought he could fix them. I don't even think I could fix the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Toronto has a hipster hard-on for Dubas and fails to see that he's a hack in way over his head. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
