The safe and comfortable choice also “protects” Shanny. If he’d gone off the board and it goes even remotely bad (IE. “worse” than Dubas), he (Shanny) would get pointed at.

With Trieliving, first round exits will be seen as “Even Dubas only made the second round once”.

Your points are spot on. He has a lot of experience and not a lot of success.

Not a great crop of candidates this off season if you're looking to make the safe and comfortable choice to run the most valuable franchise in the NHL.

But he did good work with a terrible hand last off season. So that buys him some goodwill and the benefit of the doubt for a season or possibly two.

He seems like a good man and well respected leader and I wish him well, even if I'm very much the opposite of a Leafs fan
