Kyle Dubas' Grandma Takes a Shot at Brad Treliving

Brad Treliving has certainly made impressive additions since his tenure began. While the team has been reshaped under his leadership, the core foundation unmistakably reflects Kyle Dubas' vision.

From 2018 to 2023, as the Leafs' GM, Kyle Dubas propelled the Leafs to one of the best teams in the NHL.

On TSN's First Up, Carlo Colaiacovo sparked a debate among his followers on X, asking whether they favored a Treliving-assembled team or a Dubas-assembled one.

Kyle Dubas' grandmother, Marietta Dubas, couldn't resist chiming in.

Her point stands. The influence of Dubas is evident throughout the team.

Examining the modifications both Dubas and Treliving introduced to their squads this offseason, one could argue that Dubas' moves were more compelling.

While Treliving leaned towards rugged players like Max Domi, Ryan Reaves, and Tyler Bertuzzi, Dubas set his sights on the stars.

Acquiring Erik Karlsson was undeniably a masterstroke. Not every GM could have executed that. Moreover, Dubas created the Penguins' depth by bringing in players like Lars Eller, Noel Acciari, Ryan Graves, and Reilly Smith.

Comparing both teams, it's a tight race, but Dubas' audacity seems to give him a slight advantage.

Which team do you think is better?
