Kyle Dubas Meets With Media to Address Jake McCabe, and Matthew Knies
The Toronto Maple Leafs are truly all-in this season. With their second blockbuster trade, they aren't letting themselves lose in the first round.
Dubas Meets With the Media
After a Jake McCabe trade that looks incredibly favourable to the Leafs, Dubas rightfully got to boast a little bit when he met the media today.
This is the scariest Leafs team assembled in 20 years, and one that's poised for a deep cup run.
"We wanted to become more competitive while maintaining the group we have and didn't want to deplete our prospects. All 3 forwards we acquired can find a way to score in tight in a way we've struggled when we needed it. It was finding guys that can chip in in the bottom of the lineup and we think we found that. We have to give the team the best chance to win. We don't want to deplete ourselves too much down the road but if we can add guys with term like we did here we can address that down the road. We think we owe it to our group."
Both Lafferty and McCabe have term on their deals, and it is likely at least Ryan O'Reilly will be sticking around in Toronto. While they may have spent a lot of picks, they still have Matthew Knies and Fraser Minten.
When asked about Knies, he couldn't help but rave:
Clearly he's an exciting guy that could make an impact very soon.
As long as they can keep their contention window open, it is safe to keep spending assets. Only thing better than bringing one cup home to Toronto would be to bring two cups home!
Hopefully, we're planning a parade a few months from now.
