rekker Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Probably a good hire. Just the usual issue for me where TSN and SportsNet are throwing rose pedals out for the guy. Dreger already has a story out on how Dubas will lead the Leafs to a StanleyCup. Ffnn brownnoser. If the Nucks would of hired a 32 year old GM the media would of roasted them.

Is there a different goal (keeping the franchise a float) for the Junior GMs? When he was at the Sault, I would say a mix of both. Now I feel like he will be more about winning championships. However, I think he wants to change organizational culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, what the Leafs had been doing was (kind of) similar to the Raptors: they were doing well in the regular season, but falling short in the playoffs. I wonder if the Raptors will keep Ujuri?

Can't imagine Babcock is too pleased about that, their philosophy is probably at each end of the spectrum. Yotes operate on a Value Village budget though (granted being given an unlimited supply of money to spend didn't help Sather with the Rangers).

DrJockitch Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Captain Azzy said: On paper that's as bone-headed a move as it comes. In reality, it's a bone-headed move. Stupid, stupid Leafs By all reports he is a smart progressive young man who has had success at every level and was sought by a number of clubs last year but the Leafs declined interview requests. He has a background in analytics as should anybody running a team now, you need to have the background to properly define the limits of their usefulness. If anything what they have done in the recent resurgence of the Leafs is make smart management moves. Easy to crap all over them because they are the Leafs but our club is running a bare bones pro scouting department and the results are showing with the quality of our veterans that we have traded for or signed.

oldnews Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Really unconvincing presser. Shanahan looks like he's lost in space. Meh. at least they did the wise thing in promoting Babcock to dual coach and GM duties while putting a marketable youth-face on it. Fun listening to Damien Cox fluff it.

It has been reported that Lou was brought in specifically to mentor Dubas for three years and then move into an advisory role. It just seems that maybe Lou wasn't quite ready to give up that role just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
