Dubas is a great speaker, articulates very well. Kindel has high end potential, Zonnon is rugged winger who you win with, Horcoff showed well in limited sample at Michigan but needs to improve his skating.
If Noah Dobson could have been gotten forward Montreal gave up that’s really disappointing the Pens didn’t get him. Dobson was a top 6 D for Canada (was until last year started slow for him). He is a solid nhl defense man who has pretty good upside. And has already established himself as top end D in this league. There are different ways to skin a cat. But if you want to win (and you don’t have a track record getting good D for the teams you have been with) this seems like a deal you should have made.
I am most interested in seeing how many and which uncommitted unsigned CHLers decide to go NCAA instead of signing and going back to junior to stat pad. Most of these guys in this 1st round and draft as a whole need to take a step up in competition. Desnoyers for example could be awesome at Boston University or Boston College if he decided to go that route (presuming he has credits done to get into US university).
Well, there we go DK!!! First, thank you so much for everything you've done to bring us a special Double Shot and this interview, I really appreciate it. In 13 minutes Kyle's explaination of, ie, why they made the trade up to 24 from 31 was important because I was troubled with understanding why we'd give up in next years picks, which is a much deeper draft, for 7 picks up in this years late 1st round draft. Have a wonderful weekend. God bless you, Victor from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 ❤ ✝️
Experience from Toronto Dubas is only good at talking same as the banker however his knowledge, insight and intelligent of hockey is extremely poor, after a few seasons I guarantee fans from Pittsburgh will want him fire , one tip don’t trust what he is saying now
I would like to share my experiences and reflections on Kyle Dubas during his tenure in Toronto. A fitting analogy would be to consider a proper steakhouse owner who sources their beef from reputable regions in Canada, the United States, or Australia to ensure quality for their customers. In contrast, if Dubas were the owner of such a steakhouse, he might attempt to be unconventional, believing himself to be the most astute individual in the room. He would source his beef from obscure countries and, upon its arrival at your table, would attempt to persuade you not through the actual flavor of the steak but via his salesmanship. He might assert that his professional team has scientifically determined that the beef sourced from these lesser-known regions is superior to that of any of the top ten steakhouses in town.
In my view, this approach is nonsensical; a truly exceptional steak does not require elaborate sales pitches. Tradition dictates that reputable establishments source high-quality beef, so why does Dubas consistently feel the need to differentiate himself from the rest? For instance, if he has drafted a promising young prospect, the rationale should be evident without the need for a ten-minute explanation in front of the cameras to justify his choice. Instead, he ought to devote more time to reflecting on his decision to trade for Erik Karlsson and to justify the substantial salary he offered as one of his first moves in the role. Trust me, while Dubas may appear intelligent, he is arguably one of the most misguided managers in recent years.
