Amid plenty of speculation surrounding Kyle Dubas’ surprising departure from the Toronto Maple Leafs late last week, the former general manager spoke for the first time on Tuesday via a statement on Twitter.
Dubas, who initially joined the organization as an assistant GM in 2014 before taking over for Lou Lamoriello as Maple Leafs GM in 2018, chose not to reveal any specifics about the details of his departure. Instead, he thanked the franchise for its support and dedication throughout his nine-year tenure.
While I understand there is interest surrounding the circumstances of my departure, I will not get into specifics of what I consider to be reasonable and consistent but private discussions.
