He looks happy after his annual golf tournament.

Dubas' last off season as a manager in this league

I believe that this guy is insane to think this group is going anywhere. Thank God I don't cheer for the Leafs, this must be incredibly aggravating

Well it looks like we are in for another entertaining Leafs disaster. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Leafs in 2021 : Lose in the first round again in a weak division against a team below 500 after going all in Leafs in 2022 after getting worse and returning to a stacked Atlantic division : I CAN FEEL IT, THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR!

Never going to win with players think they are bigger then the team

Reporter: "Why do you have the confidence this group has what it takes to win?" Dubas: "Because" Reporter: "Because what?" Dubas: "Just..I ono...because"

Any other GM in the NHL would have been turfed. Over 40 ml of the cap in 4 players and don’t deliver? Seriously!

Famous last words.

No cap to replace Holl. No one asking about overpaying a 1st round pic for Forligno who was injured and only played 2 games??

As a fan of another team it will be fun watching Leaf land this season. Do they rebound from another playoff failure. Does the goaltending hold up, can they get that PP to work. Say what you will, things are never dull with a Canadian club. All I will advise is to wait till they hit the ice and you see what they have before you lose your minds in joy or disgust.

If we lose Hyman, Foligno and Bogosian, good luck next year. Hyman was the best 2 way forward they've had in years and Bogosian was very reliable defensively as well as bringing a physical element. Better make some miracles happen, can't always trust in the process if the process is always a first round exit.

Hey get ready for a great future of tire spinning

You have to give dubas credit. Most people would panic and get rid of them. He believes

IT WAS 3-1 #NeverForget

Few picks, huge overpayment on MM, a roster that gets shut down in the playoffs every year, #1 goalie leaving, big holes in the lineup to fill with very limited cap space, an abysmal PP, a coach who doesn't adapt in the playoffs....well done Kyle

I clicked literally just to comment. I can't even watch this guy speak. makes me sick .

Well Dubas you better get going then. I'm expecting 8 different miracles this off-season and I expect this team to be better both on the ice and off it as well. They have to play for the Leaf and for them to believe in themselves.

Didn't he say there will be major changes if they don't advance this year? i remember him saying that after columbus.

We have no more faith for you dubas nor do we have any for shannahan…..our time for patience for failure is gone….both of you are on watch…..the fans will have you drawn and quartered…no joke I would be extremely nervous if I were you two….

Love Dubas for sticking to his beliefs when the pressure is highest. Trust in the process!

You single handedly killed this team giving overpaid players massive contracts who have proven LITERALLY NOTHING IN THE PLAOFFS . If your back next year .....WOW

This guy is the definition of insanity

The players gotta believe in themselves if they wanna win

If he bobbles it again I hope he is never hired as a gm in the nhl again

Time to put the kid to bed, and hire a grown man for the job.

By win does he mean the cup or a playoff series?

Why does the audio sound like they're recording in the locker room showers?

Your last chance Dubas. You don’t have the balls to show your team people are replaceable in order to change things up (making a significant trade). We don’t want hill or dermott and we want some proven playoff grit on off and def. time for you to go elsewhere.

well I expect to comeback to this video a year from now and im either gonna laugh at the memes or say well that was unexpected.

Best part is no one will even have any faith in this team during the season because it don’t matter and no one will beleaf in the playoffs till they win 1 round…so congratulations dubas you killed the faith in the franchise……well done you should be proud dubas…..

well that makes one person who believes in this group

Gives Matthews almost $12M per season and gets zero UFA years. Gives Marner almost $11M per season and gets only one UFA year. How could this not end up as a disaster.

Lmao ok Kyle

I wouldn't let this guy run my lemonade stand.

We believe in you and your team friendly hometown contracts!!! Book it!!!

Not only has he done basically everything he can to put this group which on paper is frankly bluntly a cup winning team, he doesn't have another choice its all or nothing

And this is why the leafs will never win. It's pretty obvious that you can't win with this group. You choked against the habs being up 3-1 against an 18 seed that had no business beating you. Signed, a habs fan.

I believe every team in the NHL thing's there going to win.

Come on guys let's get Dave Keon back on the ice,talk about a player with heart.

After the mess dubas has made I wouldn’t hire him to run a mcdonalds let alone a sports franchise

On what basis do you believe those things?

I don’t think it’s so much the players themselves and their skill level , but rather the culture - the celebrity status these young kids have got in Toronto. The money, fame, toys, celebrity friends etc… if they lose they still have it all. It’s not all they’re living for. I remember feeling surprised when Lou was hired here but I wish he has stayed longer- his goal is always to cut that peripheral life and ego and keep the focus on hockey and look at his success… Hoping the bottom six gets re-tooled by some really try hard guys who don’t have egos or Instagram accounts

4 (17.4%) of the players are making 50% of the cap. Rielly's a UFA after this coming season and he's gonna want a pay raise. Campbell's an above average goalie that's gonna either get overplayed or have a dog water backup costing a decent amount of games. They're going back to the Atlantic Division with Boston and Florida AND the 2 Stanley Cup Finalists from this past season. But hey Leafs are winning the cup this season amirite?!

ofc he would say that even if tho it isnt true.

I’m surprised this guys job isn’t on the line. He seems like he has solid job security

Is this an out of season April Fools joke?

I'll probably get trashed for saying this, but the first thing I would do is trade Marner and get a couple decent defensive players.

Its not even his fault. They had a great team on paper the issue is that everyone on the ice wearing a leaf on their chest is absolutely spineless and gutless.

jesus chill out leaf fans he's done a good job

Dubas days are numbered. He mismanaged the cap and remaining prospects. Marner contract needs to be moved to upgrade team overall. Shannie should be fired for letting Lou go.

Dubas is just a walking platitude.

Think the Leafs are waiting to long to not fire this guy. His plan of having a core group of only 4 players is a bad idea. Core group should probably be more than 4 players. He’ll be fired by the end of next year. Book it.

There's nobody better than Holl?

Dubas: I believe is this group Round 2….

As a Senators fan, this is sad to watch.

Down with the ship he is going! He is a wonderful ahl gm though.

*_I'm shocked Austin Matthews hasn't come out yet. I guess Justin Bieber isn't ready yet_*

One man Toronto wrecking ball

Keep up the good work Kyle Dumbass. Your work is allowing the memes to continue.

Dubas seems like a good guy but you can't have your entire salary cap wrapped up in 6 players. They don't even have a first round pick in the draft today... that's horrible. It's just ridiculous. If you told me a year ago that my senators would show more success than the leafs, I would have asked what you were smoking.

HAH! He HAS to believe in this core at this point.

In Harry Potter we trust! :)

imagine being a leafs fan

I didnt know its aprils fool

I believe they are going to win.... 3 games in the first round

One more year, wake me up round two, or your pink slip, whichever

Marner def needs to go ( and Dubas too lol ) Marver has demonstated that he cannot handle the tight checking and hard hitting playoffs games .He is a wonderful regular season player but that all he will be .Dubas does not see that . This is what needs to happend for the LEafs to win a round or two next year Marner and Reilly moved out for multiple picks and 2 prospects that can play now on cheap entry level deals ,Then use that $15M extra cap space to sign Dougie Hamilton as your new #1 D for 8MIL and either Grubauer or Rask for 8 Mill as your new #1 goalie ( Campbell is not a#1 hes a great backup but I dont believe he can do it for a full 60 game season )

For a team that really needed forward depth against Montreal because Thornton, Simmonds, Engvall, Mikheyev and others were completely inept and just wasted roster slots, it is unbelievable that we just give away a great forward to keep a 30-year old defensemen that only plays well with Muzzin when defense wasn't the reason we lost the series in the first place. Good asset management there Dubas! I swear, the pitchforks will come for your job when McCann becomes an almost PPG player on the Kraken due to more icetime. How good did McCann need to be for you to protect him? It doesn't matter what you got him for. You better play Robertson and several of the forward Russian prospects we have instead of more dinosaur free agents stealing their roster spots. They are already in their 20's... just play them already. Also, trade Reilly already and actually get something for him. I'm so tired of so many of our assets just walking and we get nothing for them. Trade Reilly and find a way to sign Dougie Hamilton and get this team playoff ready.

Oh boy, Kyle looks really stressed out!

Always blames the salary cap..but never says a word about just maybe he over paid marner and Nylander.

What's the definition of insanity again? Go read another self help book and we'll see you in October I guess

💙

lol Leafs are soft as mink fur, top players can’t even score in playoffs

Im betting Marner gonna come in with no muscle again and suck in playoffs and get over the glass pims.

Play better in game 7 or game 5!

This guy played against Cole Caufield and still doesn't know the difference between a gamer and fools gold.

They need to bring back tiger Williams,tie domi and Eddie shack then they will get past the first round and the second of the playoffs.

I have one question if anybody knows the answer . Why is this guy still the GM ?? I am sure that any other team in the leauge would have canned his ass by now . He had 5 chances to win a round and could not get it done .That's it - no more chances .The day they let Lou Lamorillo walk to make room for this kid I was wondering WTF are they doing ?

Dubas has dismantled what could of been a leafs dynasty. It’s all fixed. No cup for Canada in 29 years when a Canadian team should be winning the cup on average every 4-5 years. It’s been 29 years. Let that sink in. No cup for Canadian team in the future. I was a leaf fan since 1991. Not doing it no more.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Dubas is still paying the price of his infamous comment; “We’ll sign all of them.” His arrogance put him into cap hell and he’s lucky Campbell was a cheap option that played well. I wonder how much he’ll believe in this group when Shanny gives him a pink slip?

Ha , they delete tweets

Dead man talking. He should have both won GM of the year for the work he HAD to do this year & been fired as GM for the work he NEEDED to do this year.

Exorcise the Harold Ballard curse!!! until that's done NOTHING will improve.... FFS

we can overpay mitch marner, and we will overpay mitch marner -kyle dubas

I am no Leafs fan (I am a Habs fan), but seriously? The Leafs are going to stay mediocre under this guy. Does he not realize that a team needs heart and grit to win? They can have all the talent in the world, but if they don't want to win then they DON'T WIN. Dubas can go on about analytics all day - newsflash, analytics don't take heart and grit into account! 50% of the salary cap on 4 guys has harmed this team greatly as well. The Leafs DO NOT WORK AS A COHESIVE UNIT. Some of these guys are in it for themselves! They're busy making pretty passes and looking to score a pretty goal instead of, y'know, ACTUALLY SCORING! The Habs weren't supposed to make it past the first round. They were still rebuilding. The Leafs completely failed this time. Losing against Boston? Fair enough, they've always been a strong playoff team. Montreal is also stronger than their record would suggest (they made it to the finals for a reason and suffered injuries throughout the regular season) and have always been a playoff team, but this was Toronto's series to take. They were supposed to finish the Habs in 5. As soon as they lost Game 5, this series was in Montreal's favor. The momentum had shifted. Toronto has zero killer instinct. They're too soft and they're afraid of getting hit. People say "Oh but Marner is undersized poor him! It's harder for him in a playoff environment!" That's a pathetic excuse. Gallagher is 5'9" and he isn't afraid of getting hit to get the puck. You might use the reasoning of "Oh but Gallagher has experience since 2014!" Okay, then let's use Caufield as an example. He's 5'7" and got hit quite a few times in this series. Caufield is much shorter than Marner and he's also a rookie (not even a rookie; his rookie season starts NEXT SEASON), yet he outperformed Marner! This is a complete failure. I love seeing the Maple Leafs fail because of their cocky fans and media, but this is a joke that has overstayed its welcome.

Don't care, win a round

It’s incredible how numerous failures in the playoffs have clouded his judgement of character and what it takes to win. Cloudier than my urine sample. Losers ...all around.

Hall 4yrs 24 mill...if he went to Toronto dubuas would of gave him 9mill a yr. For 8 yrs...lol

All this money dish out before anything was proven. NOW WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO BE ASSERTIVE WHEN IT MATTERS. DUBAS WHEN U TALK U SHAKE LIKE U KNOW ITS ALL BS. JUST HOPING FOR THE BEST.

It comes down to the overpaid players. Not you Kyle. You have no money to do much

Delusion

starts with virtue signalling

The core group is strong and will get better. I trust the process.

Dweeb. Jk much love

Lol delusional dubas ... hes got a ahl coach Shanahan and him are both in over their heads no experience no particular strategy no direction no growth..they dont have players that know how to be competitive...and he says they're gonna win lol ...smh

this is embarrassing, this guy is so over his head

Toronto will not make the playoffs this year

Bunch'a hippidy hooblah
