Fire Dubas Official Thread

[Komissar Sasha 16,839]

Barrie had a bad year, too. Anyone who saw the Avs in the six years he was there can plainly see that. 

I doubt, at 29 and given his playstyle, that's likely to be part of a decline. I can't say the same for Muzzin who is older and plays a game that doesn't age as well. Barrie's a better choice for No.2 RD than Muzzin is given how his team is built up-front. Our forwards need the puck and Muzzin isn't good at getting it to them.

[n0nsense 27,028]

Barrie is what he is.  Last season ( in Colorado) was his outlier.  Muzzin is easily preferable. Dubas' AHL vision is garbage. Change it up a bit or gtfo.

[Komissar Sasha 16,839]

Muzzin is a sop to the 'muh grit' crowd of latent homosexuals.

As was Clifford.

Which is why it's doubly funny now that they're pretending those moves didn't happen.

[Raiden 9,130]

I disagree. I gamble with Barrie. Our forwards are pretty fucking retarded in our zone. Unless their name is Matthews. We need a backend that can move the puck, not shut down in our end.

Was it? He had 57 points in 17-18. Scored the same number of goals but had two more assists in 18-19.

Muzzin is their best defenceman hands down. Re-signing him over Barrie was an absolute no-brainer.

[n0nsense 27,028]

Uhh Muzzin can move the puck to the forwards as well as anyone in the league. That's literally one of his strengths  getting a bit stupid in here now.

Yes it was because he was much safer in his own zone  he was a good #2 in his last season in Colorado. I wasn't talking about just points 

[Komissar Sasha 16,839]

Muzzin will be a significant handicap by 2022 with that contract.

Guarantee it.

But he'll make some pretty but ultimately completely inconsequential hits while he's trapped in his own zone and failing to move the puck up the ice in the mean-time and y'all will eat it up. 'Cause y'all really wish it was still 2004 and it shows.

[n0nsense 27,028]

Yet again ignoring Muzzin's ability to get the puck to the forwards. More like you're stuck in 2004 and think a non PP specialist defensemen are all Derian Hatcher. And predictably crying about sexuality because it has to be that right?

Meanwhile Barrie's floating arround the defensive zone with zero positional awareness throwing the puck blindly up the boards. But boy he sure looks good on the PP, when he isn't having an "off-year".

Yes because you don't need to be physical in Hockey anymore. That and Tyson Barrie is actually Nicklas Lidstrom in disguise.

[Komissar Sasha 16,839]

I really don't know how much more obvious Dubas has to make it that he's trying to recreate the late 70s/early 80s Red Army teams.

I explicitly described Barrie is "a No.2 RD".

[Morrison7 12,332]

Saying what we already knew.

Or is it the 80's Oilers?

Not only that but you hold out as long as possible for a monstrous contract,  get paid as one of the highest paid players in the league even having directly comparable peers sign for much less in the same off-season, follow up with a very mediocre season by yhe standars you set, and you're rightfully going to get shit on. 

 

What's actually idiotic is negotiating two hold out contracts - one in which you publicly confirm assurances of not trading the player and the other in which you get bootfucked  by an agent and the player's father.  Keep flapping Kyle I'm sure your plan is coming together at some point.

Holy fuck. Our GM is delusional 

[Dog Taker 5,322]

marner is still clueless as to why he just 'wasn't engaged' in game 1.  well, that's nice.   the child is predictably a child and hasn't realized that he is capable of making himself engaged, that he isn't beholden to the flow of the game.   

anyways, I agree with jodi.  you move kapanen & johnsson for defense first before marner.   kapanen has very high value league wide, and johnsson i'm sure could net some sort of return as well.   they both did even less than marner did this series, so it wont be much of a loss tbh come playoffs.   it may impact our regular season, but what can you do.   tbh, I think moving them this off-season is actually the correct play regardless.   i don't think their value is going to go higher, because imo they'll prove in the coming seasons that they're nothing more than 15 goal/25 assist guys most years.   

they should be able to fetch solid defenders.

 

i'm not fully in the fire dubas camp as of yet, and the criticism towards keefe is face-palm worthy, but dubas has a difficult off-season because of the contracts he chose to sign.   if he deals our first round pick in 2021, i would strongly consider firing him on the spot.   you can't continue to just operate without a first round pick and expect *any* sustained success beyond a 2-3 year window.   he has to acquire solid defenders without the use of that 1st rounder imo.

[n0nsense 27,028]

Do you think he's prepping to re-sign Ceci or just giving him an exit reference?

Of course that's the easy out- trade the lesser players.

 However, no team has ever won anything with 4 forwards tying up 50% of a team's cap space.  They have however won cups with two great centres and a bunch of winger depth.  You move Kapanen and Johnsson and the depth is gone and the cap problems don't change. And our complaint next year will be we need forward depth. Until one of the big salaries is moved or the cap magically increases by double digit percentages, we'll never win a damn thing.  Bookmark it.

i agree in theory, however I think you're overlooking that our winger depth =/= cup winning winger depth.  kapanen doesn't fight for pucks.  he doesn't retrieve the puck.  and he doesn't make intelligent plays with the puck to set up control in the zone, unless he's on the break-away or is in on a rush, he isn't making good decisions, both of which mostly disappear come playoffs.   he isn't a winger that will provide great winger depth come playoffs.    his best playoffs ever, he had 2 points.   that's his best out of four playoffs.     25 games, 7 points.  

that's not actually winger depth.   that's an illusion of winger depth, and it was on full display this series, and in fact, every series he's ever been in.

Ok, but then how's that gonna get you anything close to an impact player on the blueline?  

Don't think it does.

kapanen straight up has been talked about for decent dmen.    his value hasn't fallen since then.

This is purely PR imo. He’s not about to throw one of his players under the bus during an end of season presser.
