On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs named Dubas the 17th general manager in franchise history. Shanahan was looking for bright hockey minds and somebody mentioned Dubas’s name, since he was three years into the job as general manager of his hometown Sault Ste. And after three years as an assistant general manager and four years in the NHL, Dubas has one of the most prestigious, onerous, responsibility-freighted jobs in all of hockey. “I’m not the type of person that would rush into this just because it’s a GM job,” said Dubas, whose infant son Leo fussed at the press conference and had to be carried from the room. We describe certain people: boots in the rink.” Either way, calling Dubas a Hockey Man or a Computer Boy misses the net.
