The Toronto Maple Leafs have named Kyle Dubas as their new G.M.
That sound you hear? It’s the collective whining of millions of old-school hockey fans who think of Dubas as “too young” and a “stats guy” (a term, which term is no less offensive than when people don’t use the word “of” to follow the word “because” ).
The hiring of Kyle Dubas is a fantastic move by Brendan Shanahan and the Leafs. If there was an opening for any general manager position in the NHL, Kyle Dubas would have been the leading candidate. If you choose any one person to lead your team over the next decade, it probably be Kyle Dubas.
