Why? That?s nonsense. He assembled a roster that was being sabotaged, if not deliberately, through stubbornness, by Babcock.

They need to go too. Unless Keefe is just an interim coach.
What people fail to realize is that Dubas has helped assemble this team, has put a marquee development system in place with the Marlies and now the Growlers. Brought in experts from all over the place. No expense is being spared. This is the state of the art organization.4EVRLEAFAN said:Should have fired Dubas as well

Barring bigger moves I don't think it's all that uncommon to keep some of the assistants at least for this year and then make bigger changes next year.
Keefe was always going to be Dubas' coach at some point. Unless the team flounders and then they decide to rashly clean house I don't expect him to be an interim coach.

The reality is that the Leafs needed to bring in Babcock to establish credibility, remember how we all jumped with joy when his signing was announced. Yes they needed to unlock the cashbox and give him way too long a term...market demands. Would have they signed Tavares without him...no.
The further reality is that Babcock was not Dubas hire, it has always been crystal clear that Keefe was the heir apparent, he is Dubas man.
It is also a fact that Dubas would have preferred to replace Babcock before this season, but was blocked by the powers above.
When people on all these boards start pointing the finger at Dubas and his hands are tied, it doesn't make sense.

Of course not. But being stubborn didn't help.OldTimeHockey said:L K said:Keefe doesn't make the team better. The players performing better makes the team better.

Wait what? The coach wasn't all to blame?
He would be good for them. He was very good for us when we were tanking and at the beginning of the rebuild.CarltonTheBear said:Wonder if Seattle is already calling Babcock.
He is taking over "Coaches Corner" I heard.CarltonTheBear said:Wonder if Seattle is already calling Babcock.
Doubt that happens but it's going to be interesting to see how the ice gets distributed, lines are formed, d pairings. It will take some time.Rob said:Leafs go on a tear and a 10 game winning streak.
