Quoting: TML_Tika
Dubas signed Nylander, Matthews and Marner when everyone said it could be done. Dubas drafted Sandin and Robertson in back to back years from poor drafting positions unlike Sakic. Dubas thinks outside the box and has actually established a 2 tier farm system like major league baseball where some prospects start in Newfoundland and then elevated to Marlies and then Leafs. Dubas has established the best pipeline to sign top European prospects in the NHL and Leafs proving it by signing Michyhev, Lehtenon and Barbarov in successive years. Dubas has built up the best scouting and professional development system in entire NHL and to such a degree that top unsigned free agents from colleges and CHL want to sign in Toronto mainly for the opportunity to be developed. Do you want me to go on further?????
You Also Got To remember, Mikheyev Fell Under Keefe, and Lehtonan and Barabonov are wild Cards, that Marner Contract is 900k to much and The Brown Zaitzev Ceci Deal, don’t forget that deal, the Marleau Deal can Backfire HARD, even if it was a cap dump. and My points on the Sakic post do outshadow the Signings, and the Drafts, sure Sandin and Robertson are nice, but Sakic done more Than Dubas(yea in a longer stint) he also Kept Colorado Under a Amazing Cap situation, with Room to still get More Ammo, His Grubeaur Deal is amazing, His Francoiz Signing, Sure I’d Put Lou Over Sakic, But Sakic Over Dubas by a mile
