There was a dramatic change in management over the summer, as the Toronto Maple Leafs parted ways with Kyle Dubas in what was a rather startling move not long after their season came to an end at the hands of the eventual Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers. He would soon be replaced by Brad Treliving, who had previously served as GM of the Calgary Flames.
It didn't take Dubas long to resurface, taking over the role of president of hockey operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins. And shortly before the regular season began, he elected to make himself the general manager of the Penguins for the time being. Both figures have made key additions to their respective news teams while their established core remained intact.
During a recent episode TSN 1050's First Up, former Leafs defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo and co-host Aaron Korolne posed the question of how Maple Leafs fans liked the current edition of the team, which they referred to as a "Reliving-built" squad as opposed to last season's "Dubas-built" team.
One notable relative of Dubas would soon come calling.
And not surprisingly, she would soon get a couple of responses of her own - and not all of them were exactly flattering.
