Dubas has been a scout, a player agent, and a GM in the OHL. He also mentioned that he would have been disappointed if the other GMs didn't try to give him the runaround his first few goes.
I have to think there's a lot more to the job than answering trade scenario phone calls though...really, this is a billion dollar company with some pretty important steps to take over the next few years, given their performance this year. There's a lot of expectations here now in Toronto.
This really isn't something I'd be eager to put in the lap of a 30 year old without a ton of support.
I'm not sure how old you are herman, but it wasn't that long ago that I was 30 years old, and I'd make different decisions today than I did then.
EDIT: This ain't Arizona.
