News Article: Coyotest interested in Kyle Dubas for GM role.

[Pookie]

Good opportunity for him if there is interest.

There are other options out there is he does opt to pursue it.

Good luck if he does.

 

[ACC1224]

This sounds perfect for Fletcher.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This sounds perfect for Fletcher.

They can have the Silver Fox in exchange for a 3rd.

 

[Mitchy]

Not worried, though. He's the future GM of the Leafs and I think he would find that much more attractive than being the GM of an unstable franchise.

 

[sxvnert]

Probably realizes he's not ready, could be career suicide to leave prematurely.

or he realizes he's got a great gig in toronto. Set up to step in around the time when the team is competitive and full of prospects.

 

[Menzinger]

I doubt he goes anywhere- there seems to be a pretty clear line of succession for him to take the reigns from Lou when he decides to move into more of an advisory role. Lou has been great at sheltering him too - notice that Dubas only tends to make formal public statements to the media regarding the marlies.It's all about creating a safe and comfortable environment for young players and staff to thrive and develop.

Given the large organizational infrastructure he's been able to implement - his analytics department, his AHL staff, it would seem premature to jump ship so early, especially as the a leafs take forward steps with their rebuild.

 

[darrylsittler27]

No problem, compensation?

Strome for Dubas.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Lou's contract is up in 2...so.

Sort of a misnomer.
I read a tweet, that Lou has an out after every year.
Shanny has to ask after every year.
It could even be when the 3yrs, are up, he could want to stay.

Though given his age - I think sooner rather than later he'd prefer to slide into a senior advisory position and let a younger guy handle the day to day admin stuff. Would allow him to focus on the big picture stuff too.

actually. no. he can talk to the media all he wants...
just about the Marlies.

he can't talk about the Leafs in any capacity because Lou wants only Shanahan/Babcock/himself (lou).

and i wrote this somewhere else, but i think another part of why he wouldnt go is that MLSE is funding a lot into the analyitics department, as well as that S&E partnership where they can track a lot of stuff. I remember Dubas being super geeked out about it. I don't think he can get all of that in the Desert.

A typo on my part - I meant to say exactly that. He only comments about the Marlies because he's being sheltered by Shanahan/Lou - who have done a fantastic job showing potential future staff that the Leafs, despite being in the centre of the hockey universe can still be a comfortable place to work.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Yeah, Dubas is no fool.

 

[Antropovsky]

Good news that the leafs got a head start with their new rebuild model, seems the coyotes want to emulate it... They seemed to be alluding to the leafs model when during the firing of Maloney management talked about bringing fresh updated model... Not being stuck in the old etc

He's a guy of honoring his word and is very resistant to straying from that. He did say "I know of his background. If he doesn't become general manager here, and I'm not going to be here for a lifetime, it's going to be his fault." Essentially saying that he's not long for this position and that he recognizes it's his for the taking.

 

[WilliamNylander]

They can't even afford to call him long distance, let alone hire him

I hear they called collect.

Can imagine this happened.

I laughed

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's great to know the leafs are paying to keep this franchise afloat and they return the favour by trying to steal our future gm. Kind of pathetic in all honesty

Might as well offer sheet Strome and Domi when they hit RFA.

 

[Willy Styles]

He declined the offer from the Yotes. So I think its safe to say the Leafs have told him that he's gonna be the next GM for the Leafs after Lou decides to retire, which is going to pretty soon. Some said Hunter is the next GM but I don't think Hunter wants to be GM, hes more of a pure hockey guy he doesn't care to be in the business aspect of the game.

I don't think that's true unless you mean something else.

 

[Stephen]

Seems better to be part of the Toronto Maple Leafs than go out and do this with the Coyotes.

In there it says the Coyotes made him an offer and he turned it down?
