Dubas turned a Dcore comprised of

Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Polak

into

Rielly-Lybushkin
Muzzin-Brodie
Giordano-Liligren

While not the greatest GM he is far from being a bad GM. His contracts have gotten better, drafting has been amazing, and he has a good working relation with his players. Heck Dzingel made good comments about him. I think hes only gonna get better

If anything Habs would do their pick this year + another piece (not a big piece) for 1st overall

It just makes much more sense.

Also you guys are like it's in MTL, so Habs will want to make a splash. Of Habs announce a trade of caufield + something else for 1st overall do ypu realize you'll hear MUCH more groans than cheers. No sane person would do that.

hes a center.

I know, but if tasked he can play LW

Not really, he's not one of those centers who can easily move to the wing, he's been a center forever

Kadri didnt really need a change of scenery. He would have still been a leaf if he kept his anger in check

As back to back suspensions was the last straw for him and he was moved

Didnt really learn his lesson as once again he lost his temper.

Fair enough, I'd consider it possibly one for one but I wouldn't really add.

That's why he needed a change of scenery lul

I don't care, I wouldn't even do caufield for wright

Didnt really help his case though as he got suspended last playoffs

3 for 5 years is not a good look rn

If you took all of the traits from Suzuki’s upside and Caufield’s upside and combined them you get Wright’s upside. That would be why. Suzuki projects as a 2-way low-end 1C/high-end 2C, and Caufield projects as a top line sniper. Wright projects as a high-end 1C who can put up a lot of goals while also being an excellent 2-way guy. Plus centre is always more valuable than wing, particularly 1Cs (most valuable position in the sport). I’m not saying the Habs should do it, but it shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, and to say Caufield is worth more is wrong.

Ya I agree.

Like nobody's saying he's better than Yzerman or Sakic (or if they are they're just wrong), but he's, at worst, and average GM.

Each to his own I guess but I probably would.

Projects...doesn't mean he is there yet. That's just the type of player he could become, I think it's possible but he's more likely to become a good top 6 winger than an elite forward. I think that the only guys on Buffalo that really are going to be Elite top line talent are probably Cozens and Quinn. Peterka, Skinner, Krebs, Thompson and Olofsson all will be good top6 players. IMO.

What did Lou do that was awful beyond running off Reimer?

its a loser troll, dont bite

Wow, a lot of spiciness today, I see

Campbell was great for half a season. Brown being traded was not inevitable. March menu never even got a chance and he was traded for a guy who is in Switzerland, it was an awful trade. I notice you ignored the Kadri trade, which is telling because that’s one of the worst trades I’ve ever seen the Leafs make in nearly 50 years of watching this franchise

What are you talking about? Marner has specifically said he wants to play in front of 1/4 of the fans he plays in front of Toronto now

Zaitsev’s contract.

I’ve been here before they know me. You’re a know nothing like Jared

I think the more experience he gets the better chance he has of becoming a Gm like those two


As recently we have seen he can make some good trades and find diamonds in the rough in later draft rounds and free agency. His contracts have also got much better from where they were when he first started.

everyone is talking about what MSL is doing with habs, but is know one watching Oilers games? Jay Woodcroft has transformed the Oilers and unlike MSL Woodcroft has gotten the Oilers from outside a playoff stop to very comfortably in 2nd in the pacific

Signing Zaitzev, Marleau, Martin, Polak, etc

Not drafting anyone good outside of the first round.

Refusing to get a good defenseman to play with Rielly (which just so happens to be a big problem people have with Dubas, even though he did get one in Brodie).

And giving MARLEAU THAT EXTRA YEAR

Lou basically did the same mistake former Leafs managers were doing for years give an old guy to much money and term....

If Lou never signed Marleau Leafs in 2020 draft have two 1sts in the top 15.....
