In a surprising turn of events, the true reason behind Kyle Dubas' departure from the Toronto Maple Leafs has finally come to light, debunking the assumptions that had been circulating. While Dubas initially claimed he needed time off to be with his family, Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan has shed light on the actual cause of their separation. Shanahan revealed that it was Dubas' counter-offer to a new deal that prompted him to realize it was time to part ways.
According to reports, Dubas had requested a salary of $6-7 million, a figure significantly higher than the Leafs' offer of $4 million. This disparity in financial expectations seems to have created an impasse, ultimately leading to the end of Dubas' tenure as the team's general manager.
As the dust settles, Maple Leafs fans and hockey enthusiasts alike are left to ponder the impact this surprising development will have on the team's future and who will step into the crucial role of guiding the franchise forward.
