<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>Ah yes, right after getting Barzal signed to an offersheet, the islanders would love to help their crosstown rivals with their cap problems! Also isles match anyway</div></div>

Are you saying the NYI would love to help us out with our cap problems, I may be misunderstanding this? I assume NYI would match if they can but now that leaves you guys to unload 8M roughly which won't be easy. Plus the 4 raises the following year. I just don't see how you guys could do it without Barzal taking closer to 8m. You will have to dump and pay in picks, where this way you keep the picks, let a few bad contracts die off and get 4 top 32 picks(realistically 20-32). OHHHH ****, thats supposed to be a trade to
LA not NYI... Dammit

Sujet: Should Dubas be on the Hot Seat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leaflet</b></div><div>I think the big issue with Dubas' tenure was contract management, not the moves. To be fair it wasn't the easiest task for an incoming GM.

I like his philosophy of relying on data analytics, although there are so many data points one can focus on. So the verdict is still on. I still think the team isn't sharp defensively, and it's where stats could have helped to find undervalued players.

The trades, on the other hand, aren't that bad. The Muzzin trade, given the re-sign, is probably a good one. The Zaitsev trade, too. And Marleau's third year was Lou's legacy.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kafle22</b></div><div>He isn't bad at making trades but he's terrible at signing contracts</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I like Dubas as a GM. He's creative and works just about every angle he can to put the best team on the ice. I don't think he should be on the hot seat, but these trades also shouldn't be a free pass either. Everything should be in consideration when evaluating him as a GM. For the record...they are bad trades...and if anyone who thinks they aren't or are even meh ok trades doesn't have a clue.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>yes. bad trades and bad signings.</div></div>
I really don’t get why people think he is so **** at contracts. I will say this the Marner contract YES is not great it’s an overpayment by like 1.5 to 2 million over. Now with that being said Nylanders contract is good just look at his comparables. The Matthews contract is high and is not that much term BUT it was widely known in the NHL that Arizona was going to offer sheet him to max money and max term so to me keeping him at what they did when everyone know what was coming is a win and at less money. The Tavares contract is fine it was even one of if not the lowest value contract that was offered to John at the time. Johnsson and kappy are both fair value contracts again look at their comparables. You could say he’s not good at getting home town discounts and sure that could be argued but this idea that he always gets ****ed by agents and always overpays is just NOT true. Even when you look at the marner deal yes it’s an overpayment but he got 6 years look at contracts like matthew tkachuk he makes under 4 million less than marner a season but was only signed for 3 years literally HALF the amount of time and that’s gonna suck to have to reup him in only 3 years we’ll 2 years now. The contract also looks worse now with the whole stoppage and that effecting the cap.

Is McDavid's contract a problem in Edmonton? Or Eichel's in Buffalo? Give stars star money isn't a problem. Matthews making what he makes and JT and Marner is all fine. You can't say a GM is bad at contracts unless he's overpaying people that would never be able to live up to their contract. Marner scoring 90+ points and Matthews scoring 50+ goals and being a two way force is going to pay for itself. GM's get into trouble by rewarding vets for what they did in their prime, or overpaying depth. Dubas doesn't do that. Sure it would be nice to have some extra term but it would have cost too much and honestly doesn't matter. He didn't overpay Kapanen, or Johnsson or Kerfoot and the Muzzin contract was better than everyone on here predicted it would be. Dubas is terrific.

The Muzzin trade and the Campbell trades are both clear cut wins. The Marleau trade was necessary and was due to the boneheaded contract Lou gave to a 37 year old player. The Ottawa trade was also necessary due to the boneheaded contract given to Zaitsev, once again by Lou. In hind site the Kadri trade isn't the best but I'd hardly say its terrible. What good is Kadri when he's just going to get himself suspended for being an idiot in the playoffs again. I also think its too early to say for certain if that trade was bad or not. Kerfoot could rebound and prove to be an effective 3C. Give him a clearly defined roll and consistent linemates and he could settle into the roll nicely. If not then yeah it was a loss. But not really a major one.

Exactly how are any of these bad trades?
All of them were at least fair value and they all helped the team in some way, even the ones that didn't pan out as well as hoped.

If you think any of these moves are bad, you really don't know what you are talking about and it isn't even a discussion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>100% agree

He got rid of Lou's mess in Zaitsev and sure we lost brown but we only need to deal with GARBAGE CECI for a year. And Marleau wasnt even his contract again it was Lou's. If i was them I would have payed marleau more to take less term.
And as for Kadri, he did it to himself. Got suspended twice in 2 years of playoffs against boston. If he acted accordingly and didnt do that he would have still been here. In general if Barrie and Kerfoot played like they did in Colorado nobody would be complaining but it just didnt happen. I still think kerfoot will bounce back but barrie is better off going to a team like calgary.</div></div>

The thing is though, that Barrie did perform up to expectations once he was actually utilized the way he should be (when Keefe took over).

i mean, the kadri trade felt like a big win trade for the leafs at first but when barrie wasnt playing as he had in COL, it definitely hurt a bit in hindsight. I think dubas jumped on the first offer to get rid of the marleau contract, but it did have to be done (note that marleau contract was not signed while he was GM). zaitsev and muzzin deals are no brainers. if barrie goes hard like he did last playoffs and does super well along with kerfoot being good defensively or if they trade him for next season and get a decent return, it'll probably put that kadri trade at ease for me a bit. campbell trade needed to happen, and we got good term on that as well. i really enjoyed watching moore play, but clifford is the sandpaper that people have been yelling about for quite some time. a side note, the reasoning behind the choice of sparks over mcelhinney was right, but choosing mac would have been the correct choice in the end, even though at this point it dont matter.
