Awesome hire by the Leafs, unfortunately.
Dubas took over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and him and his coach, Sheldon Keefe, ran things using a strong analytics - or advanced stats - base. Their progression: 10th, 9th, 6th, 2nd.

From the other thread...
Keep in mind this is junior hockey. That progression is pretty much how it works unless you are 'high/illegal' spending team or inept.
That 2nd place is also really 4th... they just played in a bad division and got the 2nd seed. They were well behind London/Guelph/Erie in points in their conference. (They got swept by Erie in the 2nd round who was the 3rd seed)
He seems like a good hire and he can definitely talk the talk. But there isn't a ton of evidence to suggest he's going to be great or even good yet.
