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

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.
