Toronto Maple Leafs: Rating Kyle Dubas Off-Season Performance

The Toronto Maple Leafs had an eventful offseason.

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed T.J Brodie, made two big trades, and signed a bunch of veterans for depth. To say the least, it was an eventful off-season.

Much like during the free agency of 2018, in which Dubas landed Tavares, there was a certain build-up which had many to believe the  Leafs were working on landing Alex Pietrangelo. Heck, many crazed Leafs fans already made peace with a potential Nylander or Marner trade to facilitate Pietrangelo under the salary cap. Thankfully, he didn’t.

The Toronto Maple Leafs offseason by trading forward Kasperi Kapanen back to Pittsburgh, roughly a little over a month later, Dubas shipped Andreas Johnsson to the New Jersy Devils. Surprising friend and foe, Dubas not only brought T.J. Brodie as the new top-four defenseman to Toronto, but he also landed Joe Thornton, Wayne Simmonds, Jimmy Vesey, and Zach Bogosian and managed to renew the contracts of Dermott and Mikheyev.
