The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a ridiculous three weeks.
First, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Florida Panthers despite being the better team in four out of five games.
Second, they inexplicably fired their young GM after letting him learn on the job for five years. Now that he’s easily the best. young executive in the NHL, he can take his talents to a different team at the Leafs expense.
Third, they hired a GM they can’t use until after the draft, and barely interviewed anyone else for the position. Considering that firing Dubas was basically a spur-of-the-moment decision, it seems absolutely nuts that they hired the first guy they thought of.
