Quoting: oneX
This is the realization that Babcock should have been fired after the playoff series loss and not in the middle of the season.
Keefe will play catchup with the players for the rest of the season because he didn't get the off-season to prepare for the season and playoffs.
If there's people to be mad at for this, it clearly falls on Shanny and Dubas but more on Shanny...just because Babcock was a Shanny hire.
I agree, Dubis trade-wise appears to be even (good to bad ratio) using a narrowed optics lens; but, when you step back and look at the big picture we have taken many major steps back. Since he took the reins from Lou...
Good getting Muzzin, based on a personal bias AND Bad, because Muzzin only complicates the defensive situation and fixed nothing.
****Jack Campbell is a good add
****Clifford would be great if we made the playoffs... growing doubtful these days
**** Signing Tavares
Bad,
****in the number of picks he keeps tossing away
****Barrie is a bust
****Cece
****Timing of coach change
****Letting back-up goaltending become a problem in the first place
Well that's not very even, is it? Maybe we should give him credit for our great player's accomplishments, but hey he inherited most of those players didn't he?
Can't argue that! no matter how Badly you want too! and that is on Shanahan.
How long before we start discussing the elephant in the Leafs Nation... Maybe Dubis isn't ready to be a GM in the NHL?
