other than Tavares who was coming here no matter what, Dubas hasn't done much yet.
Other than landing the biggest free agent signing since Chara, he hasn’t done much.

The poster said "Lilly will be a top 4 d man in 5 years" so dont expect any quality posts.Other than landing the biggest free agent signing since Chara, he hasn’t done much.

disagree with the grade, at worst an A-
Landing Tavares was one of the biggest signings in decades. I'm not expecting a Stanley Cup this season, but I believe them contenders.
Maybe Dubas is still working on a deal for a top 4 D, or maybe he's fine letting the boys play this season and see what they can do. It's not outrageous to think that the overall team D is improved with adding Tavares, and losing a couple of our weaker defensive forwards in JVR and Bozak. Add the fact that our current D group will have another season to make some improvements.
The Leafs should be a scary team to play against this coming season. They say the best defense is a good offense. With 3 solid offensive lines , I see the Leafs spending more time in the opposing teams end, which means only good things for our defense.
Go Leafs Go!
His progress since the draft shows he likely becomes one in less then 5 years.it's not unreasonable to expect dmen to develop at much slower rates. i'd argue reilly is still developing, this past season he certainly continued his development, and he is almost exactly 5 years older than timothy. of course reilly has been something for more than this past season, obviously.
Right now he's at an A+ (if you discount the draft), but it's not the end of the semester. If he fails to do the rest of his work (sign Nylander appropriately, resolve some log jams, have some sort of concrete plan for the defense), then sure he may only finish with a B+.
Toughness is so 2002.Thank goodness Augello didn't mention the lack of toughness throughout the line up. Fans might actually reflect on the B+.
I'm sorry folks, but I'm going to mention it.
Signing the biggest UFA in at least 12 years only gets you a B+?
Have to be the first one out there to get the attention. Seems to have worked.I just don't think this was the right time to rate the off-season. Maybe at the beginning of training camp would be more appropriate, we have like 40 days to go still.
