    If he did, that’s a good thing. Would have been a big overpay

  2. EddyMcDee

    Does anything from Dreger actually imply Shanny blocked this? He just says Toronto declined to pay that price, he doesn’t say why.

  3. Flashy_Ferret_1819

    If true thank God he did. That would have been a horrible trade. Doesn’t surprise me in the least.

    that kind of meddling is exactly why it should have been shanny out this week instead of whatever wound up happening

    fleury as a leaf is such a vibe

  5. Anus_Garage

    Trading your #1 prospect for a grinder and an over the hill goalie seems very un-Dubas.

  6. JRocleafs

    Well IF this is true then I’m happy Shanny still has his finger on the pulse of this team. That is a MASSIVE overpay.

  7. TheLoomingMoon

    They see promise in Campbell right around the time they knew what he was? This is probably dreger bullshit

  8. I wouldn’t have loved this trade but wouldn’t have hated it either. Fleury would’ve been an upgrade in the 2022 series vs Tampa. Hagel is a cost controlled winger who plays playoff hockey. Not to mention he scored 30 goals this season.

    Dubas was a dummy…Shanahan should have also stepped in and said you’re not getting Murray.

  10. This is what Chicago wanted. There is no info anywhere saying Shanahan blocked this.

  11. teluposmom

    Do y’all remember when Dreger was trying rock a mustache? That was hilarious.

  12. thismadhatter

    that woulda been a goofy trade. Knies gunna be a stud.

    This honestly sounds like nothing. Trades don’t go through for numerous reasons. He may as well say Toronto declined a trade of domi, fleury for matthews while we’re at it.

  14. winkNfart

    good. I take knies over hagel any day of the week. fleury is old

    What are we even doing here? Trying to slander Dubas over a rejected trade from last year is ridiculous. Anyone with common sense is clearly not doing that trade I’m pretty sure Dubas didn’t need Shanny’s approval to reject this.

  16. Muellercleez

    What are you basing your assertion (Shanahan blocked this trade) on?

  17. I thought we backed out of that deal after both MAF and KD were mad the talks got leaked to the media ..

    Then again .. maybe Shanny was the leak ..

  18. Dubsified

    If he did, thank god? Because that is a horrible deal.

  19. bobbyboogie69

    Fleury is done, Knies looks to be incredibly promising as does Woll…if this is true I’m glad he blocked it. It was the right choice.

  20. Dubas hated Knies. Apparently Dubas also dangled Knies to get Kasperi Kapanen back, but Shanahan tied Dubas up in an extension cord until the trade deadline passed.

  21. HottyMcDoddy

    This is 100% bullshit. This is the trade Chicago offered Toronto. We obviously said no and then Chicago leaked it to the media. This is when Dubas called out Chicago’s GM publicly as the trade implied Toronto was trying to move Knies which would hurt our chances at signing him.

    And to the person making up that Adam Wylde said shanny blocked this..why are u lying? Adam routinely mentions this trade (with the wrong info that I clarified above) but has never said anything about Shanahan blocking it. I’ve literally ranted about Adam saying Toronto offered that tweet multiple times so don’t BS me.

  22. Dangerois

    Look pal, thing is Dubas is gone, within a month we’ll have a new GM and within 6 months Dubas will just be a memory.

    Was he good, bad, or in between? It’s OK to have that as a casual conversation, but what’s done is done.

    This or that trade that could have happened, didn’t happen. How many years do you want to go back?
