If we don't get the next GM announced in the next 10 minutes im rioting.

 

[LeafFever]

I think the Islanders rumours are true.
Kyle Dubas will be the next GM.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Wow. Wonder if it's Dubas or the Leafs go with someone like Fenton.

 

[Budsfan]

I just saw that I wonder who they will name Dubas or Hunter?

 

[Nineteen67]

Lou deserve retirement.

 

[Budsfan]

 

[ACC1224]

Shocked.

So he was canned?

 

[MattySnipes]

Just heard the announcement. Thanks for everything Lou. All the best in your future role/retirement.

Let the speculation begin....Hunter or Dubas.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Come on, Fenton!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Kyle Dubas come on down!

 

[Mikeyg]

Thank you lou, dont worry about any Pejorative Slurs on here, you did a great job overall, really good job in the tear down year, thanks for everything!

 

[dangomon]

The full release here. The original plan was GM for 3, then senior exec for the coming 4 years. According to Shanahan, this is still the plan, assuming Lou is on board for those 4 years.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I just saw that I wonder who they will name Dubas or Hunter?

Dubas, Hunter will have an elevated role behind the scenes

 

[Daisy Jane]

This one surprises me.
Shanahan's decision. not Lou's.

 

[Stand Witness]

Oh so we are actually going through a full process right now?

Awesome.

 

[Walshy7]

any chance they have 2 GM's, pay them the same as a GM who works on his own but they split duties. Hell its the leafs pay each of them double the GM going rate. Hunter on drafting and development side and dubas on the trade and contract side of things

 

[Crysis]

Great news. Thank you Lou but it's time for a new direction.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Lou is apparently staying around as a senior adviser.

 

[Smif]

I think the Islanders rumours are true.
Kyle Dubas will be the next GM.

What rumours?

 

[NoTouchIcing]

Shocked.



So he was canned?

His contract expires on July 1

Horrible idea.

 

[Smif]

This one surprises me.
Shanahan's decision. not Lou's.

So...Shanahan is the true Godfather.

 

[dangomon]

Beards, beards, beards, beards, beards, beards, beards, maybe one goatie?

 

[Walshy7]

What rumours?

Lou's son works for the islanders and someone mentioned that maybe they would be interested in Lou for a role there
