Back at the beginning of the offseason, the Colorado Avalanche caused quite the panic in the city of Toronto. It had been reported that the Avs had been granted permission to speak with Maple Leafs Assistant General Manager Kyle Dubas.
On COL/Dubas, as mentioned on-air, not sure where it stands. But there were conversations. Question is: still a possibility or closed-off?

Dubas, the former General Manager of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the OHL is perceived by many to be one of the brightest young minds in hockey and has been long presumed to be named the General Manager of the Leafs whenever Lou Lamoriello retires.
