And I think what people are pointing out in this thread is that Dubas failed to use what they have at their disposal to help them get guys down on AVV. Thats the whole thing but some leaf fans refuse to believe that their almighty gm did a poor job negotiating. Its like they cant even admit when something is wrong about their team. Its amazing!!
Have you been to the Leafs board? We find problems with every aspect of the team and organization all the time. We have a large amount of fans here, including some people who seem more interested in being caricatures of fans it seems than actually liking hockey. You'll find an opinion some good, some bad most in between on pretty much any topic.
I said he overpaid, that doesn't mean I think it's crippling. I'd rather pay Matthews and Marner more than paying journeymen to fill out the bottom pair and bottom 6. This board is very polarized everything has to be the best move ever or the worst decision. Most of the moves good and bad tend to balance each other out.
