The Sandin trade could end up looking really bad as well…. Comment any other trades or moves that you think sucked or will suck in the Kyle Dubas Leafs era…
Thanks everyone. Welcome if you’re a new subscriber ❤️
Matthews contract was horrific.
Pierre Engvall hurts bad
Shanny hired a rookie GM. Of course the rookie GM is going to make lots of mistakes.
imagine paying players 11M a year and they dont show up in the playoffs lol those kids dont want a cup they want long summers and money witch they are getting and now there gona try and keep Mathews by giving him more money hahaha what a joke
Kyle Dubas was not let go due to poor performance; Shanahan said so himself. Dubas' mistake was continuing to negotiate when Shanahan thought they were done. Now Dubas has no job and won't get the same pay (or more) from any of the other teams.
The John Tavares FA acquisition and LT contract is the gift that keeps on giving. Total disaster, and you can't get rid of him because of his no-trade clause. Chicago Blackhawks learned this lesson the hard way – when you give two players mega-contracts well over $10 million/yr that eats up nearly 30% of the total cap space, you cannot assemble a team that will compete for the Stanley Cup. The Pittsburgh Penguins with Crosby and Malkin are the notable exception but, by and large, it doesn't work. The Edmonton Oilers with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are in the midst of learning this painful lesson as well.
As an Avs fan, I approve of every trade this guy has made.
Hindsight 20/20 gotta love it
As a Islanders fan I'm worried we are getting this clown .but Lou is worst g.m. so ehhh
Go sens
I was never okay with letting go of kadri
Protecting Holl over McCann CRAZZYYY AHHHH
Toronto: great city, terrible fan bases. Leafs will remain in limbo and hearing all of these keyboard GMs cry just proves they deserve better.
Two 1st round picks for depth players this season were bad trades
Tavares signing. Leafs were top-5 in scoring the year before they signed him
Thank you for this the amount of people crying online about this is crazy to me they offered the guy an extension and he said no I need more money he was luck to even get an offer Malgin for marchmant and kadri for barrie summarizes the guy’s knowledge of hockey
Drafting amirov over Brayden Schneider who is a big physical right hand D
Good list. My other least favorite Dubas move was when he traded a first round for a second round to get rid of Marazek then in the same week gives up a third round and seventh round for Marazek 2.0 in Matt Moorings.
Kadri was never appreciated by the leafs brass. I hated that move and still do. Zach and walking away from him was the right move what did he want? 6-6.5? Injury prone player, who should have been easily replaceable for that kind of money. Problem was Dubas needed cap space. In trades hindsight is always 50/50. Folino trade seemed like he was what Toronto needed for a push. Some grit some scoring in the top 6. Can't complain because it was the right move at the time
A 32 year old GM? Did not know how to negotiate.
Ur clueless they needed the money let Hyman go that's Edmontons problem u talk now ru a leaf fan
They wanted to trade Kadri to Calgary he didn't want to go there get ur facts right it's easy to talk afterwards buddy I'd put u in ur place everyday of the week
Seguin-Kadri centre tandem would have been crazy.
Rielly and Hamilton
Hyman
Worse move for the sens was trading Zibby and moving the 2014 1st for Bobby Ryan (Pastrnak or Point were available) sens reached on Zibby who was a riser as well.
Phaneuf trade was garbage.
Duchene trade should have been a rebuilding move not a contending move.
Every GM in the league makes a bad trade now and then but those are some dandys. Toronto drafted Conner Verhaeghe and never played him.
What’s your thoughts on the Leafs thinking of putting Hayley Wickenheiser at the top. Heard rumours about it. Rumblings that they are talking to her about the potential job or sharing the job. Who she would share it with, I haven’t heard. Lots of people thinking that this would make them look like a very progressive thinking club and take the heat off what just happened
keeping the guardrail Justin Holl was a mistake as well
Trading Kadri was a horrible move, and an indicator of what was wrong with Dubas.
Kadri was undisciplined, a loose cannon. Got suspended twice in the playoffs, so Dubas got rid of him (for a lousy return).
How many times has Brad Marchand been suspended? He’s been suspended more often, and for worse things (multiple slewfoots, spearing a guy in the balls etc) than Kadri. Did the Bruins trade him out of town? No, they put him on their top line.
Tom Wilson has been suspended more often than Naz, including in the playoffs. Did the Caps trade him away? No, they put him on their top line.
Marchand won a Cup.
Wilson won a Cup.
And Kadri won a Cup…..after he was traded to Colorado
Leafs meanwhile have won just one playoff round in five years, and were consistently manhandled and abused by their opposition.
They need MORE guys with the fire of Kadri!
Best news of 2023 is Dubas fired. Keefe next
Dubas's drafting is so overrated. He was GM for 5 years and the only drafted player currently making an impact is Knies
Why do you yell so much ??
What did they give up to get Matt Murray? That one may need an honorable mention.
There is one deal even worse….signing Dubas to begin with…
Dude he traded ziezvev for Cody cici and then signed him for 5 mil. Wtf
Kadri trade was 2nd option as Kadri vetoed 1st trade to Calgary hoping to remain a leaf.
BUT
Keep Kadri…and…don't lose Hyman cause 3.5 to kerfoot
Babcock has been giggling for 3 years
Me thinks that he had to expose McCann as part of the deal. Backroom shit
Girls could beat all these "men" up! Dubas, Matthew's, marner, Travers, Keefe,…. willy is different he don't give a fuck. Keep em. Keep willy and Morgan and trade all the ladies
Brenden Shannen, who fist fought Russians in the fuckin dark should know better than vagina dubas
I forgot to say Branden Shanahan fought Russians in pitch black darkness when he was a fuckin teenager. That's a fact bro
#1 is by far John Tavares… They would have won a Cup if they would have signed 2 5 million dollar defensemen..
Who are you yelling at? Dubas isn't watching
Patrick Marleau trade was Dubas problem because he decided to hand out big contracts
There have been a number of bad decisions made by Dubas. I stated from Day 1 that a storied franchise like Toronto should only be hiring top name management because anything less will only continue the futility streak. They have the resources to hire the right people, but instead they made a brutal mistake by "doing something different" when they turned to analytics over hockey experience.
Not much of a difference between Bunting and Hyman…except $3 million cheaper.
Toronto is cursed & will never win anything while Taveras is still there! Isles fan.😂
I am happy that you are getting as many views on your channel as you are. It is further testament that you are appealing to a younger crowd who, like YOU can very little knowledge of hockey. Sorry for being a boomer bigot, but if you haven't watched and studied hockey for a least 50 years, your knowledge base is simply not deep enough. The NHL was a completely different game prior to 1968 and if you were not watching it live back then, then you were not really watching it.
1) Missed a brutal one, last year's draft Ottawa has deal agreed to to send Murray out along with 7th overall pick to get team to take him and retain 50% of salary. Murray vetoed trade and now Ottawa is desperate, any other team now has more leverage to get even better deal to take on Murray if they are on his list, in steps Dubas to somehow get a way worse deal, they retain less salary and Dubas gets no extra value when a week ago they were gonna add the 7th overall pick in and take back pick in later half of first round. Think about how bad at negotiation you actually have to be to get a worse deal after player invokes no trade and your team is on his list to anyone defending Dubas performance. Think long and hard about how dim witted you half to be.
Also:
-This guy protected Kerfoot, Muzzin, and Holl over McCann.
– Let Hyman walk
– Everyone talks about overpaying core guys, the worst over pay by far was Muzzins near 6 million a year, that's insane, and the trade wasn't good either 😂
– Botched the hell out of the contract for Nylander and the overpaid Marner and Matthews and now they'll want insane money (after Tavares signed, that should've been the most anyone got), Nylander should've been traded when it became clear he was going to sit out.
– Traded Carter Vergaege for Grabner.
– Hired Sheldon Keefe to replace Babock so kids on team all got a buddy as their coach and got to not be held accountable, Keefe got outcoached every playoff series.
– They traded away Sandin for a guy they didn't even play !!! After years of him being untouchable while other teams wanted him.
– first 4 years he built rosters with all one type of player- doomed to fail in playoffs and we all knew it, but him. He traded away all prospects and btw tried to trade away Knies for Flower and had to be stopped.
– Yeah trading for Foligno was awful. Yeah Marchment trade was bad.
– Kadri trade wasn't good, I did understand the pressure to fix the issue, but he went and did great after so.
