Dubas made some mistakes as any GM did, but nothing was catastrophic. There are no long term deals where the Leafs are stuck with it, maybe aside from Tavares (but that's two more seasons). I was super critical of Dubas early on but he's learned from his mistakes early on. I give him and Shanahan credit for going for a completely skilled lineup and bucking the trend though it didn't work. Now he's learned from it and he'll assemble an inside and outside team. Leafs would be making a huge gamble to let him go in favour of someone else. They really are close here. They just need a terror in the slot, and maybe another d-threat to move the puck up, but I really think they're there.
