Description

If Dubas goes into trade deadline day without making moves before the actual date, he will most certainly stand pat or make a few AHL deals at best. From past trade deadline experiences, while he was the GM of the Leafs, he always makes his moves in advance than the actual day (Jack Campbell move, the Jake Muzzin deal). Last season we acquired Cale Rosen for Hutch on deadline day. The season before, we acquired Nic Petan from the Jets I believe.

And 2 years is enough of a sample size for you to be comfortable with a pronouncement like this?

That's kind of different though, for a couple of reasons. As you said, he had already made significant acquisitions earlier on in both seasons. Last year, the last game before the deadline was the Ayres game - he wasn't helping that team out.

He could be waiting so we have more cap at deadline. I think Dubas has somthing he's thinking of.

Lou was the GM the season before.

It's also beneficial to wait this season. Allows them to maximize their cap space.
