Today was the end-of-season evaluation day for the Toronto Maple Leafs. While many wondered if the axe would quickly fall within the organization following their defeat in just five games against the Florida Panthers, no firings have been announced at the moment.
While the fate of head coach Sheldon Keefe and GM Kyle Dubas appears to be in danger, no departures have been confirmed.
That being said, Dubas no longer has an active contract with the Leafs. He was in the final year of his contract, and everyone is now eagerly awaiting the organization's decision regarding his future.
In the event that Dubas is shown the door, he may not be a free agent for long, as according to insider Elliotte Friedman, the Pittsburgh Penguins could be in the picture to hire him as their GM
"I think Pittsburgh wants this done, so if all this Dubas and Pittsburgh stuff is real, he'll have to know quickly if what's on the table for Toronto suits him" - Friedman on 32TP.
In essence, the insider mentions that if the Leafs want to extend Dubas, he will have to quickly determine what his organization has to offer, as the Penguins are closely monitoring the situation with the possibility of hiring him in Pittsburgh.
The coming weeks promise to be eventful in the NHL.
