Kyle Dubas - July 1, 2019

Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas addresses the media as the NHL Free Agent signing period opens.

[@tml4251]

Dubbie and big P and company....great job guys ....long time leaf fan ...seen it all ...all I gotta say is well done .....GO LEAFS GO

[@stupidas9466]

8.5 million over 5 years...Dubas managed to hold back his delight. Interesting!

Stu Pidas I thought the exact same thing LMAO. Marner has less leverage after this offer sheet for sure

Kyle is showing just how smart he actually is. Love it!!💙🇨🇦

[@Mandy-vs6lk]

Anyone whose says Dubas is a clown better shut it. He just got the Leafs what they've been needing for years, a right-handed defenceman. Barrie is a damn good one at that, this is was a great day for Leafs minus Marner not signing yet.

[@magicmc23]

The only downside is hes 5 10, and not an elite shutdown d

[@magicmc23]

Dubas is definitely not a clown.

[@Mandy-vs6lk]

@@magicmc23 Ya but he's still a massive improvement over Zaitsev and Gardiner so I'm happy

[@magicmc23]

@@Mandy-vs6lk that's true. id take Barrie over them too, although with that being said, I havent physically scouted Barrie, only on paper.

[@Mandy-vs6lk]

@@magicmc23 I know that he played his junior career in Kelowna, and Kelowna is a defenceman factory, so to me it's a pretty good trade.

[@bowriver1]

as a Flames fan, and don't get me wrong I like Treliving, I like this guy. He looked to be badly backed into a corner on cap space and damned if he didn't do a GREAT job...wow

[@camerongordon2638]

Dubas has done a great job today my god the 2 coming in are excellent players that need to be signed long term also. Not sure if he's finished yet. Interesting day.

[@zwtslt]

He pulled off exactly what we wanted; and he did it at a positive despite everyone knowing exactly what we wanted

[@amybrum86]

At 7:30 the reporter says “since you have been on the podium the habs have offer sheeted...” right then is where dubas looks back to try and get confirmation from his p.r. Staff if it was Mitch. The excitement in his response after hearing aho was awesome. This along with Pagnotta tweet just shows that dubas is aware that teams are indeed sniffing at Mitch. If it was Mitch being offer sheeted then I would have loved to see how he played out the rest of the conference or if he would have just ended it right then and there

[@das8771]

Dubas is doing a good job walking a fine line.

[@bichers]

Now on to Marner, 5 x 9 lets go.

[@CalebJonasson]

5 years means matthews, marner and nylander contracts are up at the same time...

[@11DNA11]

You wish. He's getting offer sheeted 100%. Probably with insanely high caphit.

[@scrambie]

Absolutely no chance in hell he's getting single digits

[@11DNA11]

@@scrambie I'm going on a limb. Max caphit. It's offseason. Anything can happen.

[@scrambie]

@@11DNA11 all I know is that Marner and his agent wouldn't have gone this long without signing just to cave for 9 mil per

[@lorihickey7403]

Another thought!! Marner was a lobbyist for Tavares and said publicly that he would take a pay cut to play with Tavares!! What happened to that? Just curious!!

[@tdot4life786]

What happened is Dubas pays the money for euros and Americans but doesn’t give the money to our own hometown talent. We just lost kawhi cause he wanted to go home yet we can’t keep our own hometown talent. Dubas is a big goof if we lose marner. That will be biggest mistake he can ever make. If marner goes I want this little idiot gone too

[@commissioner1969]

It's a lot of moves I hope it works out.

[@MikeeMike1]

"And the Nylander and Tavares contracts continue to dismantle the team piece by fucking piece. That green boy Dubas shouldn’t have been trusted with the responsibility of the GM role. He’s far too young and far too naive. He earnestly believed he could just… make it all work. That all the young kids would take bargain deals for the, uh, “privilege” of playing in Toronto, that he could just find a way to trade his problem contracts without getting crushed at the negotiation table… look at him now. Look at what he’s given up just to be able to ice a cap-compliant team, let alone a contender. Oh, and by the way, every Leafs defenseman not named Morgan Rielly sees his contract expire next summer. Good luck with that" - Leafs fan

[@Blitzo2876]

As an Avs fan, I'm happy Joe Said drafted Vancouver Giants and Victoria Grizzlies boys. But what is he thinking to trade Barrie and Kerfoot (Vancouver boy) to Leafs for Kadri?! Kadri has done nothing but get in trouble with management. Dumb move for Sakic! As for Raptors fans, sorry but Kawhi is going to Lakers. Enjoy your one and only ring.

[@keithmichael3027]

@@calebmiller0516 Hope so.

[@TrAvi5link]

I've heard that Leafs are listening to what teams might have to offer for Kadri, but they're not shopping him so to get him they would probably need a top 4 defenseman at a similar cap hit at the very least
