Did Dubas’ firing impact the chances Matthews signs an extension this offseason?



The Maple Leafs are officially in search of a new general manager and one of the top priorities in a long to-do list for the new hire will be trying to ink Auston Matthews to an extension this offseason. What are the chances that gets done with Dubas out of the picture? Who would be a good target for the GM role in Toronto? TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado discusses.

  1. We can all hope so! Let's bring in some players who show up in the playoffs and look like they don't just want that MLSE paycheque…

  2. # 34 would be crazy to extend right now. Get through the 23/24 season healthy. Score 40+ goals, and then become the hottest UFA in a long time. And btw TSN……. plaese let Dubas go. Kyle has left the building. He even left the Leafs a note on the pillow.

  3. Leafs should trade Mathews if he doesn't want to play for the same money for another three years. No point in giving him more money to jeopardize the chances of winning the cup.

  4. It's unreal we are getting betting ads on who's getting the GM job.

  5. Truth be told Leafs brass should feel ZERO fear when it comes to trading Matthews. Infact there's no better time than now to di it.

  6. Kyle’s agent and AM34’s agent are from the same agency. It’s also been confirmed that Kyle Dubas was spotted in Pitt with Sydney Crosby

  7. Trade him to Boston for Charlie McAvoy. Here's the logic: McAvoy is a very good defenseman who's probably better than Morgan Reilly and he's four years younger. He makes 9.5 million a year (2 million less than Matthews) and is under contract until 2030. As for Boston, they need a center because Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci are probably going to retire. And Matthews would be a perfect replacement. Of course this trade only works if Matthews agrees to sign long term with Boston, but he might. Win win for both teams.

  8. Watch the movie "Catch me if you Can" then watch Moneyball….Dubas and his buddies(Dellow in Edmonton) found a real NHL Moneyball story online and they hijacked it and used it to get into the NHL…..deal with it.

  9. There is no way Mathews should be making more salary than McDavid. But only the Leafs would be dumb enough to give him that kind of money – if Dumbass was still around. Trade him to Phoenix for some first rounders. He's going to want to go back home and perhaps he can help them land an arena and put some asses in the seats.

  10. Don't understand why Shanahan had issues with dubas saying it's been hard on his family. That should go without saying.

  11. Toronto is the PLACE WHERE MATTHEWS CAN BE A LEGEND!! Legendary in what way? How many times he can fail to win a cup? American Matthews will go the way of American Tkachuck, where the money is on an AMERICAN team.
