Dubas the clown wanted 6 to 7m per year for 5 yrs with total control lmfao. Shannahan said fuck that. Their offer was 4m/yr with private jet to ease travelling but Kyle didn't budge so he walked. The dude thinks he won several cups
Let it be said here that Brad Treliving is now the favourite to replace him as Leafs GM because there are so few obvious options who meet Shanahan's requirement that "having an experienced general manager would be an attractive quality."
The others that fall into that category are Marc Bergevin, Peter Chiarelli, Chuck Fletcher, Ray Shero, Ron Hextall, Jim Benning and Dave Nonis.
Lolol leafs should hire Chiarelli and Benning combo just like the old Boston times
Hard to tell if Dubas simply overplayed his hand or was genuinely wanting to move on unless they gave him an absurd deal that he just couldn't turn down.
As for Treliving, I felt like from the outside looking in he did a lot of good work in Calgary but they never achieved anything. Perhaps was too scared to lose a trade or make a mistake and was too passive in addressing team issues. Tkachuk trade was like his only bold move but that was more forced than anything, and most thought he salvaged a difficult situation pretty well until Huberdeau decided to turn into a ghost.
