Unknown former employee had this to say:
«Kyle is a good man; he takes too much of the heat for decisions made by the hockey department»
The employee also added, «He (Dubas) is, understandably, a bit stubborn when it comes to the high draft choices he signed (Nylander, Matthews, Marner). Unfortunately for the Leafs, the pandemic stunted any growth in the cap figure. Which obviously wasn't foreseeable when the contracts were negotiated. And, Kyle did well by keeping trade and movement restrictions out of all three. That said, he has no alternative but to make a move he'd rather not make before [the 2022�23] season.»
He is basically blaming the Core Players. Do the leafs need a big change? Will this season determine the outcome of this core? Let us know in the question below.
