muskymatt Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 We've got Turris, Mcarthur, Ryan, Zibanijad and a whole slew of great looking prospects. I'd say the future looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Winning 5 in a row and still the bottom of the barrel, that's something to be proud of! How many did we lose to get down to Ottawas level? 12 out of 14? heh. Ottawa sure showed us how it's done! (This is also way to much hockey talk for July, lol!!!)

BassMan11 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Leaf fans can only drool over Karlsson There are about 10 other d-men i'd take in the league over the -15 Karlsson. You can keep him. The Leafs primary point getters are forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Leafs made another change in the front office today by firing their GM's and hiring Kyle Dubas from the Sault Greyhounds. Good move thinks I. http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2014/07/22/maple_leafs_shake_up_front_office_hire_stats_guru_kyle_dubas_28_as_assistant_gm.html Maple Leafs shake up front office, hire stats guru Kyle Dubas, 28, as assistant GM The Maple Leafs fired assistant GMs Claude Loiselle and Dave Poulin and hired Kyle Dubas, dubbed by many as the Billy Beane of hockey. Share on Facebook VIEW 5 PHOTOS zoom JAMES EGAN PHOTOGRAPHY / SPECIAL TO THE STAR Kyle Dubas has been named assistant GM of the Maple Leafs. By: Kevin McGran Sports Reporter, Published on Tue Jul 22 2014 The Maple Leafs nearly completely transposed their front office by firing assistant general managers Claude Loiselle and Dave Poulin and hiring Kyle Dubas, dubbed by many as the Billy Beane of hockey. The hiring of Dubas, the 28-year-old GM of the OHL Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, is tantamount to a turnaround in the direction of the team to one that favours the advanced-stat approach that is gaining traction in the sport. “Kyle is a young executive that has made a strong name for himself in hockey with a progressive style, work ethic and maturation beyond his years,” said Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a press release. “He has a fresh approach that we feel will benefit our club for years to come.” Beane’s stats-based approach to baseball management helped keep the under-funded Oakland Athletics in playoff contention and turned into the movie Moneyball. FROM THE ARCHIVES: Q and A with Kyle Dubas Dubas, a native of Sault Ste. Marie was a hockey operations assistant at the age of 14 with the Greyhounds, and then later worked as a scout for the club while enrolled at Brock University’s Sports Management Program. His grandfather, Walter, served as head coach of the Greyhounds from 1960-1967. Upon graduation, Dubas became the youngest player agent certified by the NHL Players’ Association with Uptown Sports Management. “The chance to work for the Toronto Maple Leafs is like a dream come true,” said Dubas in the release. “I’m truly excited to begin helping this team win and learn from men like Brendan Shanahan and Dave Nonis. I’m very thankful for this opportunity, but equally grateful to the Greyhounds organization and the city of Sault Ste. Marie for helping put me in this position. The Leafs are focused on building a team that will enjoy long-term success and I am excited to play a role in it.” Dubas took the Greyhounds, a hockey organization that finished out of the playoffs in his first season, to finishing first in the OHL’s West Division last season with a 44-17-2-5 record. “We’re excited about the addition of an up-and-coming hockey executive in Kyle,” said GM Dave Nonis. “He is an innovative thinker that will bring enthusiasm and impressive abilities to our club. His work ethic, character and demonstrated leadership in Sault Ste. Marie make for a valuable combination that will certainly have a positive impact on our organization in many ways.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey buoy Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I like it. Sorry Bill,I disagree,We need good players,not has been now.The richest team in the NHL,and they hire a 28 year old?.Nothing against him,but we need to start now .Still don't get Shanny and Nonis,really doing the same job.They best produce this year with that added payroll.Again JMO! Please don't say they are rebuiling,because that's what they have been doing forever. Edited July 22, 2014 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what this kid did with the Sault Greyhound last year. Proof enough for me... Anything is better then what's happened the past 5 years, lol!
