Shanahan Reveals the True Story Behind Dubas' Firing

Earlier today, Brendan Shanahan, an authority in the hockey world, discussed the contract situation of Kyle Dubas in depth, revealing details that many had been eagerly waiting for.

Shanahan's Shocking Revelation about Dubas's Attempt to Swindle Leafs

Addressing the media, Shanahan shared what transpired between the Leafs' management and Dubas, how the GM's contract scenario was dealt with, and the organization's sentiments regarding the whole affair.

Dubas's Change of Tactics Following Increased Popularity

Kyle Dubas, initially engaged in a fair contract negotiation with the Leafs, altered his strategy when he observed his rising popularity among the team. Fueled by the affection and respect he garnered as a GM, Dubas aimed to secure a more lucrative contract.

Leafs' Tough Decision Stemming from Dubas's Demand for a Huge Raise

Despite a mutually agreed-upon contract plan, Dubas's increasing demand for a substantial salary hike due to a misguided perception that he was safe from being fired presented a predicament for the Leafs. This led to an impasse, with a significant difference compared to his expected salary, where according to Dubas' wishes, he would be making 6-7 million.

The Consequences: Leafs Cutting Ties with Dubas

Thanks to this financial increase caused by Dubas' greed, the Leafs had no choice but to let go of a great GM, not because of a dislike of Dubas, but because keeping him at that point was simply no longer financially viable.
