Deadline is over, how do you rate Dubas' performance?

[TheKule]

I'd rate it a D for damned if you do, damned if you don't.

 

[PromoterDave]

I rather have kept Timashov over Salomaki

 

[Joey Hoser]

I'm not sure what I'm grading.

Selling would be completely stupid, and buying is hard to justify as well.

He didn't do anything stupid. What grade is that?

 

[HC7]

Goodrow got a 1st, and Barrie returned nothing.

Dubas has let Bozak, JVR, Gardiner, and now Barrie all walk without recouping a single asset.

F-

 

[ULF_55]

Going with a D.

If he did something stupid it would have been a F.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

What is there to grade?

 

[BigBlu]

This deadline was inevitable as soon as Marner squeezed us for every red cent.

 

[saffronleaf]

C+

- won the Rosen and Malgin deals, but they're pretty negligible deals on the margins

- needed to either add to the team or let Barrie go for a return, and neither happened.

- on the plus side he didn't make any panic moves

 

[IPS]

D


He didn't do something stupid like panic trade Liljegren

But it also scares me that he might have some guaranteed job security behind the scenes.

 

[KuleminFan41]

Standing pat isn't necessarily a bad thing . Ultimately, we won't really know until April 5th at the earliest

F for FAIL!

Barrie is still here!

That's kind of where I'm at.
Between a C and D for me.

F-

Lou was in charge of the Leafs during Bozak and van Riemsdyk's last season was he not?

Dubas was made GM after the playoffs.

 

[Budz22]

Dubas - D
HF Boards Servers - F

 

[NHL WAR]

C

Addressed two weaknesses by acquiring Campbell and Clifford.

Couldn't check off the top 4 RHD, but I'm also glad they didn't sell the farm for a mediocre fit in a panic move.

Rosen for Hutch is meh, but a decent move.

Would've liked to move Barrie for pieces that could've got that RHD in the summer, but obviously no team stepped up. He is worth more down the stretch than a 2nd rounder

Edit: Malgin for Marchment is a win, but Malgin isn't exactly what the team was lacking

F-

Bozak and JVR were kept as own rentals by Lou. Very very poor post on your part.

 

[TimeZone]

F.

We're losing Barrie for nothing in the offseason and either missing the playoffs, or getting destroyed in the first round.

Absolute failure.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Personally, I don't understand the poor ratings.

He didn't acquire UFAs at a nuts price. He didn't trade any more picks. He resigned Muzzin to a reasonable deal. He won the Malgin for Marchment and Hutchinson for Rosen. He acquired a solid backup and team toughness with Campbell + Clifford, without trading all that much.

Yea obviously I don't agree with the Timashov waiving. But overall he's done an adequate job and you guys could not do better.

Obviously the Marner deal was an overpayment. But the amount of slack Dubas gets around here makes me really wonder how long you've been a fan. He has been far better than Burke/Ferguson Jr...

 

[A1LeafNation]

C

His hands were tied.

Kadri should have been parlayed into a long term RD solution.

Players screwed this year up with embarrassing efforts.

 

[Advanced stats]

I'll agree with the consensus. C...a great big meh.

Would have liked to move Barrie, even if wasn't the return we were all expecting. At the same time, I trust him that he made the right call.

 

[Stephen]

Standing pat because he doesn’t have the guts to pull the plug on this season. By doing nothing and obtaining no futures he bleeds out more assets. Basically death by inaction.

Showing zero organizational leadership. Feigning patience but also admits he has no idea what’s going to happen.

The growth angle may be true but it’s cringeworthy. Sounds like he’s been hanging out with Ross Atkins.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

I’m a bit shocked he did nothing this season to fix the Defense. Our D is so weak through inexperience (sandin, Dermott) poor quality (Holl, Marincin), or absolutely poor fit (Barrie).
Turning Barrie into something even slightly better defensively would have been a huge boost.
Not even going to consider Rosen as being applicable here.

I don't need to do better. He needs to do better.

 

[Polaris1010]

Nick Ritchie was traded for Danton Heinen.

That's all it took?

Why wasn't Dubas into this kind of deal?

Holy F---!!!

Guess who Marner will be lining up to play against the next few years . . .

What a guy.

What a team.

Just fire these clowns.
