Dubas the former agent and Toronto Marlies assistant General Manager has helped lead them to a Calder Cup in 2018. What he is doing now, deserves praise for a cash-strapped team, like the Maple Leafs.
Dubas, signed players like Calle Jarnkrok, Mark Giordano, and Ilya Samsonov, under their projected market value, and continued the trend with Nicolas-Aube Kubel, Pierre Engvall, and Timothy Liljegren.
His signing of Michael Bunting who had a break-out year in 2021-2022, recently is under contract until 2023-2024, when he reaches UFA status, his current cap hit stands at $950K AAV a year, until then. By all means a discount for a young winger.
