Sounds like Dubas and the Leafs brass weren't always on the same page
Dubas and team president Brendan Shanahan had been “at odds” for a while.
"I had gotten to a different place about how I felt about the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs and what was best," Shanahan said Friday. "As hard as it was and as hard as it is to make a significant change [regarding] someone you're close with and someone you're working with for nine years ... I just felt different [recently], and that the long-term future of the Maple Leafs might have to change.
"A gap had risen in the contract status," said Shanahan, "But nevertheless, after the email I received from Kyle, I just felt differently." "I definitely don't have it in me to go anywhere else," Dubas said Monday. "It'll either be here or it'll be taking time to recalibrate, reflect on the seasons here. It requires a full family discussion ... for me to commit to anything without having a fuller understanding of what the year took on them, it's probably unfair for me to answer. It was a very hard year on them.
