Toronto literally hired Dubas for GM over him when Lamoriello left. They were both assistant GMs and Dubas won it out. So why was that? Why didn’t the Leafs circle back to Hunter when Dubas left.

So Shanahan had passed over him twice. He hasn’t worked in the NHL otherwise. That’s my evidence. It would be questionable to let somebody like that lead franchise changing negotiations.
Maybe he is a fantastic scout for junior talent, which is what they say is his strength. Great, then hire him to lead scouting. This is not a resume I want in the GM role.

You are basing your opinion on what happened 6 yrs ago? You are messing with me right?
I'm not advocating for the guy because I don't know much about him but basing your opinion he's no good because he didn't get hired 6 yrs ago seems a little silly in my opinion. People change all the time. I am sure you probably do some things and think a little differently now than you did 6 yrs ago.
How do you know the reason he didn't get hired had nothing to do with hockey? What if Shanahan just didn't like him personality wise as much as he liked Dubas? I am not sure if you are involved in hiring but I am at my company. If we are interviewing people and we have several candidates that all seem like they could do the job, the tie breaker is who you like better and think you can get along with the best.
Plus, I just wanted to check.
How many championships did the Leafs win under Dubas and all his apparently better forward thinking? The answer is ZERO.
How many even playoff series did they win under Dubas? The answer is 1, last year.
So maybe they picked the wrong guy?
