Kyle Dubas, the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, will not be returning to his role following the team's recent string of playoff disappointments. The Leafs have decided to pursue a new general manager to lead their future efforts.
Dubas had hinted at this possibility, citing the toll that the past years had taken on him and his family. He expressed his intention to consult with them before making a final decision about his future. He also stated that he would not actively seek employment with another team immediately if he were to part ways with the Leafs.
This news raises questions about the future of Auston Matthews, who had a close relationship with Dubas. With Matthews becoming eligible for a contract extension on July 1st, his negotiation will be a crucial topic as the team moves forward.
