Agreed
Not only do we have a lot of talent coming (Sandin, Lily, Moore, Robertson, SDA, Korshkov, Kokkonen, Kral, Bracco, Loponen, etc), because we scout as well as anybody (right now at least) he also managed to sign guys like Kappy, Johnsson, and Kerfoot to solid deals. I fully expect Reilly to sign a reasonable extension, as he has already signed a great deal (and loves being a Leaf) as well as Dermott going forward.
Plus we really go after players overseas (Mikheyev who I think is gonna be a stud, and Kivihalme who I really like as well) add in that everyone is YOUNG, and I feel Dubas is doing very well. He may not be perfect, but he at least admits that he could have handled things a tad better at times, and will only learn.
Now
Boston has been fantastic with contracts, gotta give credit, but some were bridges, and many of the guys who are locked up long term are not spring chickens (not chara old of course) but never the less, I am impressed with how they handle things. I just don't feel people should crap on Dubas like he has not done a damn thing right.
But I fully expect Boston to be a cup contender (or winner) for the next few years, and we have not figured out a way to beat them lol so we should worry about just beating them at least one round.
