In the space of a week, Kyle Dubas went from GM of a team in the Stanley Cup playoffs to being without a contract extension.
That changed after the Leafs were eliminated last week from the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, pushing the Florida Panthers to five games in the second round after ousting the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
“Going throughout the year, the way that the team was managed, I had no issue with that. I thought that Kyle did an excellent job. The trade deadline, I thought that he made some very good moves and I thought he had prepared the team to the best of his ability as any GM can do. After the trade deadline, there’s not as much for a GM to do.Article content
“While watching Kyle’s press , there was a dramatical shift in my thinking, as I drove home that night, that as Kyle expressed, he might not want to be our GM and I have to take that very seriously,” Shanahan said. “It was a very real possibility for me at that point that I would be needing to look somewhere else. As part of my job, that is what I began to do, while still hoping that Kyle and I could come to some sort of a resolution.
Dubas himself didn’t get in touch until dinnertime on Thursday, saying via email that he did want to be the Leafs GM going forward.“I had gotten to a different place about how I felt about the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs and what was best,” Shanahan said. “As hard as it was to make a significant change to somebody that you’re close to and that you’ve been working with for nine years … a gap had risen within the contract status.
