The Toronto Maple Leafs fired Kyle Dubas yesterday in what will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in NHL history.
The Toronto Maple Leafs now former GM made a play at his boss’s job and lost.
Dubas wanted to have full autonomy, thus cutting Shanahan out of the decision making process. This would have been an extremely good thing, and it’s unfortunate that it didn’t work.
You could see why he would want that, as for years rumours (now all but confirmed) have persisted that Dubas was prevented from making moves he wanted to make and forced to make ones he didn’t.
