Do you think Jared McCann would have been a good fit on today's Toronto Maple Leafs?
As a Canucks fan and to quote McCann him self “it is what it is”
agreeed….. brutal move at the time, brutal move now, brutal move for the rest of time.
Tavares signing is his worst but thanks for coming out little kid
Why are you shouting?
Worst mistake? Definitely not 😆
A big mistake among the many he's made? Absolutely! 🤣
Salary cap hit was too hard.
Kerfoot/Hall are a waste of contracts
Kyle has made been a mediocre GM at best. Since he assumed full time GM duties in 2018, he has only had one of his drafted players (Rasmus Sandin) make the team as a regular, and Sandin has now been traded. The Kadri trade was a disaster, he overpaid for Tavares, and he has failed to bring in a goaltender who can compete with the best in the league. Not everything he has done has been bad, but the team in now at a crossroads. I would like the team to hire a different GM for next year.
Dubas is a horrible GM!
Destroyed a perfect time for the leafs! Over paid, players when it wasn't necessary, trades high picks for very little return, drafts small players, brings in players at the end of their careers, continues to employ a coach that is consistently out classed by his rivals. I hope the ownership cleans house when the leafs lose in the first round again! It will be another 50 years before this team will win the cup😬
I’d say Foligno was worse. Basically the original O’Rielly trade and what a shock, they both got hurt at a bad time. not sure if it’s just me but for a guy who won the cup and conn smythe ROR looks absolutely lost on the Leafs.
I still remember shaking my head when Jim Benning traded McCann and a 2nd out for Gudbranson. It seemed like Jim and many GMs underestimated McCann, and his ability to become a top 6 player.
Guy is a solid solid depth piece. Saw him play really well against the jets when he was on the penguins and thought to myself how strong he'd make the jets. No idea why he was given away by Dubas. L really
No this was Jim benning biggest mistake
Great show. I have Mc cann in my keeper league. I traded for him last summer.
Kyle dubas worst mistake was trading Kadri
PENS fans miss him and don't think we got enough for him. Good energy guy, plays defense.
Couldn’t hack it in a real hockey market.
also benning and hextall's worst mistake
SN worst mistake is to sign this guy!
The leafs likely wouldn't have been able to afford him anyways.
How about the Kadri trade that too was a huge Dubas L !!!!
Dumb decisions and the expansion draft, essentially, cost the Penguins both Jared McCann and Brandon Tanev.
CANUCKS LEGEND
It is always easy to judge a year or two later. You can't keep them all. Verhaghe was a Leaf draft choice who has passed through 3 or 4 teams and is now a solid player with Florida. You win some, you lose some.
It's a moot point now. What's done is done. Can't keep dwelling on what if's…… We just gotta stay focused on what's happening going forward and hopefully Keefe can make some sort of chemistry out of the dogs breakfast he's been given.
