Will wait for Gvit to post the details, but it's pretty incredible how quickly Dubas has turned their prospect system around, while remaining competitive (mostly because of Crosby). It kind of says a lot about how tough GMing is in Toronto and other Canadian markets, where the pressure is always on with very little patience.
And a little off topic, but I think whoever wrote the Wiki article on Dubas might not like him very much:
"Dubas then promoted himself to permanent general manager on August 3, officially replacing Ron Hextall." |
I'm not sure i agree that it is harder to rebuild in Canadian markets because of less patience. Outside of Toronto, I think you have fanbases that will support young rebuilding teams more than in any comparable US market.
