The Toronto Maple Leafs have decided to part ways with general manager Kyle Dubas, and fans are outraged as they feel the NHL side has made a "big mistake".
Dubas' contract was set to expire on June 30, and the Leafs have decided that the 37-year-old will not return to his position after five seasons at Scotiabank Arena. The Leafs made advancements this season as they ended their 19-year wait for a playoff series win, but they collapsed against the Florida Panthers in the following round despite heading into the series as favourites.
The Leafs enjoyed one of their best seasons in recent history, and fans have grown to love Dubas since he arrived in 2018. But the Leafs are once again looking to reset and Dubas looks to have been used as a scapegoat, and it's become a hugely unpopular decision.
