I like the fact that Dubas is an active GM and he’s not scared to tinker with his lineup even when up against the cap.
Where I would question him would be on his timing of making a roster shake up. Changing out 25% around the deadline to address some team toughness issues should have been an off-season move last summer.
The Leafs successfully played an up tempo game for 3/4 of the season with good team chemistry, only to change it up for the quarter of the season. I’m a firm believer you should only tinker with one or two pieces of the lineup and add your depth pieces for injury insulation.
That being said, I don’t even play EA NHL, and armchair GM from my cell phone. What do I know?

I want a GM that is active when it's needed and to make good moves, not just make a whole bunch of moves for the sake of making moves. Dubas made all kinds of moves, shipping out decent young players, throwing around picks and prospects to turn over his roster and again, what did it get them? I think a few of his moves were moves for the sake of making moves and looking to the market that he was doing everything he could. They finally won a series where they were kind of out played a bunch of it. I don't think Vasilivesky was a good as usual and Tampa was missing one of their best dmen in Cernak and Hedman was pretty comprised. I don't think the Leafs win that series without Bunting being so cheap on Cernak.
