The Toronto Maple Leafs have yet to renew Kyle Dubas as General Manager, but he deserves it solely on the back of a genius move he made earlier this season.
That move saw 22 year-old forward Curtis Douglas dealt to the Arizona Coyotes with 24 year-old defenseman Conor Timmins sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in return.
Conor Timmins, since his arrival has 10 points in 14 NHL games while Douglas has 4 points in 14 games with Arizona’s AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners.
The trade looks like an absolute home run for the Maple Leafs; Conor Timmins looks to be a perfect fit as an right-hand defense option paid just $850,000 this season.
