Could Kyle Dubas join Leafs division rival?

Right now, the Toronto Maple Leafs and general manager Kyle Dubas are preparing to do anything and everything in order to finally break through and win their first postseason series since 2004. Should they fail in that endeavor, there will almost certainly be major changes in the organization, and that could potentially include Dubas losing the gig as Leafs GM that he's held since 2018.

But is there a bit of a power struggle taking place behind the scenes in Toronto? And could it potentially lead to him joining a bitter division rival, especially if the Leafs were to falter in the postseason yet again? 

According to Frank Seravalli of The Daily Faceoff, there's a rift between Dubas and team president Brendan Shanahan. What's more, Dubas could depart this summer for the Ottawa Senators if Pierre Dorion is shown the door. 

Take a look at what Seravalli had to say during the latest episode of The Daily Faceoff Rundown:

"I think everything is on the table for the Leafs. There's been a real power struggle there between Kyle Dubas and Brendan Shanahan, and they've done a great job of keeping it lower case and lower key. But, who at the end of the day is holding the keys and who has final decision making power? Brendan Shanahan has it and he's leveraged it on multiple occasions. I think that relationship has been stressed is the best way to say it. How does that play out? If the Leafs win...if they don't...I mean, the fact that Kyle Dubas doesn't have a contract would probably indicate to you what might be coming next in that Brendan Shanahan did ask the board for an extension for Kyle and wasn't granted one last summer. Yeah, who knows/ Everyone has been saying Kyle Dubas and Pittsburgh and I think people draw lines that may or may not be there. I wonder what happens with the Ottawa Senators. Like, I think that could be a team that could be a destination for Kyle Dubas if he ends up leaving."

"Pierre Dorion was talking this week like he was going to be the guy, but I think there's a greater than 9 in 10 chances that he's not."
