Keep telling me how great of a GM this guy is though

Necas was drafted in 2017, WAY before the Marleau trade. The pick was Jarvis

And the Guentzel deal was 2 B+ prospects and a C prospect, not all C prospects

now do treviling XD !

How embarrassing for the OP

Carolina gave up multiple b level prospects to avoid giving up a top option. You never see that happen. Absolute master class by Don Waddel.

Depends on how the prospects turn out. Dumoulin was a B prospect when CAR traded him as a sweetener in a package for Staal and he ended up being the best player in the entire deal and few/nobody predicted that.

You see it happen often with teams that are extremely thin in prospect pools. They were good partners because Carolina's prospect pool is so incredibly deep

Dumo wasn't better than Staal, but he was the best player on the Penguins side

Gee, haven't you included some of Lou's signings and credited them to Dubas.
Holl and Engvall were excellent signings by the Leafs .
There are few players drafted below Robertson who have played more NHL games.

The Kadri trade was fine...

I still like the JT contract as most the value isn't on the ice

Justin Holl was a player who seemed to flourish under Keefe, so, to avoid another Marchment, Dubas made that move... Can't fault him for it... And he obviously had value, Stevie Y signing him to 3.4 for 3

Robertson's an NHL player, IDK why you fault him for taking an NHL player

Engvall's fine at 1.25 mill... Again, Lou signed him to 3 by 7 so he must have some value

Graves is fine as well, a little too much term but still

Guentzel trade was the market, Dubas got what he could...

A prospect swap is fine, he just got the wrong one...

Gio... Like JT... value is also off the ice... He's also still on this team 3 years later, no?


And the rest; Dubas, like everyone, makes mistakes... You could have a similar list for so many different "great" GMs...

The dumb ones recycle their mistakes over and over again....

Treliving:
Kampf to a 4 year deal
Reaves to a 3 year deal
Klingberg deal
not doing anything good at the deadline


this is all less than 365 days

Love the Reavo and Kampf signings, two guys I would want on my team

I stopped reading after you said the Kadri trade was fine LOL

Yeah my mistake on the Jarvis and Necas mixup. As for those prospects, it wouldn't excite me if I was a Pens fan

Do some research into Koivunen specifically, he's a fringe A prospect, top 10 scorer in Finland, strong across the ice

With all of his playoffs games played against the Bruins 🙄

He was the 3C that started stuff and couldn't back it up... And Dubas/Babs didn't want to stick Matt Martin with him so they had to move him...

And just looking at it now, Kerfoot was better for the Leafs in the playoffs then Kadri was...

Getting a 1LD on a cheap contract was infinitely more valuable than having Staal as a great but expensive 3C for PIT. Staal never developed into an offensively consistent top 6 C so I personally would take a 2/3 dman over him majority of the time regardless, but I can see arguments otherwise. Pouliot was a bust for the #8 draft, but Forsberg- the player EVERYONE wanted Shero to draft- is also a superior player. The main point is that trade packages like this are rarely clearly defined value for either team until long down the line. PIT got KILLED in the long term on that Brassard trade, yet everyone including me thought it was great when it happened. Nobody including the NHL front offices know what will happen long term.

And if you open that window up by a second year, you can include him signing literally the worst deal in the entire league, Huberdeau 10.5x8.

There was also a time in the late teens where like a quarter of all active buyouts in the league were contracts bought out by Brad Treliving.

I don't know why certain Leafs fans are so insane about Dubas. The guy doesn't even work for your team anymore. Why do you care so much.

Koivunen is 5'11" 160 pounds playing double the ice size in a soft Finnish league (sounds like a Dubas player). He's not going anywhere near the NHL

There is a reason why DW parted ways with this guy

Remember when Kadri told Dubas to "kiss his a**" when he raised that cup above his head while JT was looking at another first round exit (the guy we replaced Kadri with) and paying Kerfoot $3.5M for like another two years

I wonder if he invited Dubas to his Stanley Cup party in Toronto. He wouldn't let Dubas to go anywhere near the cup but maybe he was lucky stand in the same room with it

Because he got JAKE F**king GUENTZEL. Koivunen was one of the top prospects in the Canes farm system and is already under contract. He was loaned to Finland this year because we don't have an AHL affiliate because Levin threw a tantrum. He's going to be in the NHL soon, and he's got the skill level to be a top six guy in the NHL. He's going to be a very good player, and simply discounting him because he's 5'11 is comical, once again because Seth Jarvis (you know, the guy the Canes fleeced the Leafs for taking Marleau on?) is 5'10. There's less an 0 reason to doubt Koivunen makes the NHL, the issue is where in the middle six he slots in

I've heard the same thing about Topi Niemela from Dubas fans that he's going to be a partner for Morgan Rielly in the future (this guy isn't going anywhere near a Treliving defense). I've heard the same thing about Roni Hirvonen and how he is a B level prospect.

I just don't see Koivunen being anything because I've seen it and heard it all

I am not a fan of that particular strategy tbh and I can’t remember many deals like it tbh. Closest I can think of is when Garth Snow traded Michael Grabner for half the leafs farm team and some guy named Carter Verhaeghe. 🤣🤣🤣

A lot of these aren’t even that bad though when you add the context lol signing Engvall 1.25m x 2 is considered a bad move? Like it’s a mill not really a big deal and he wasn’t even that bad! Ceci for 1 year? Sure the price was a bit high but again, it’s 1 year and he was still young? Try comparing his tenure to Dorion and you’ll have a good laugh

There's a 0% chance anyone knows what Koivunen will end up being as prospect development is wildly erratic. But he did have a near historically good season for his age in Liiga so there is at least some indication of potential.
