Dubas Blindsided By Firing After Both Sides Wanted To Get Deal Done
This past week in Toronto was unexpected for everybody, even former Leafs GM Kyle Dubas.
Dubas Blindsided By Firing After Both Sides Wanted To Get Deal Done
Brendan Shanahan laid out the timeline for the Kyle Dubas firing and it is as follows:
This is an incredibly quick turn of events from the Leafs going from Dubas as the guaranteed GM in Toronto to being out of work not even a week later.
On the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman shared a detail about Dubas right before the firing stating that he had a meeting with his management team about how to make the team better.
Shanahan's Ego Holding Leafs Back
With Shanahan conveniently leaving Dubas' meeting about making the team better out of his timeline shows how he was trying to paint Dubas as a villain in his press conference.
It was reported that Shanahan has blocked many moves Dubas tried to make throughout his time in Toronto which furthers this idea and with Shanahan potentially being the problem, it could result in more years of failure in Toronto.
