The Maple Leafs announced that the team and general manager Kyle Dubas have parted ways after 10 years.
“Kyle fostered a great culture within our dressing room and staff, and consistently pushed to make our team better season over season,” Toronto president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. “We wish Kyle and his family the best moving forward.”
Dubas has been with the Maple Leafs since 2014, first as assistant general manager and GM of the Toronto Marlies AHL team, then as general manager after the team let Lou Lamoriello go in 2018.

Could Sergio Pérez benefit from this week’s cancellation?
Could the cancellation of the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix play a role in deciding the Drivers’ Championship?
The main story of the 2023 Formula 1 season has been the dominance of Red Bull. Either Max Verstappen or Sergio Pérez has won every single Grand Prix this season, pushing the Bulls to the top of the Constructors’ standings in convincing fashion.
Seth Towns announced on Twitter he will play at Howard University for his eighth year of college basketball.
The forward began his college career at Harvard in 2016, playing two seasons for the Crimson, averaging 14.2 points and 5.0 rebounds and earning the 2017–18 Ivy League Player of the Year. However, Towns battled knee injuries the rest of the way, missing the entirety of the next two seasons.
Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Towns transferred to Ohio State and he played 25 games for the Buckeyes that year. The Columbus, Ohio native averaged just 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.

1. I’m going to do something that goes against all internet law: I’m not going to take a side and offer up a hot take on a current controversy.
The backstory: Two days ago ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters did an interview on The Rich Eisen Show and talked about only now becoming familiar with Nikola Jokić since she’s covering the Lakers-Nuggets Western Conference finals series.
Now, some of the things Salters said were definitely head scratching. But I also think she might be a victim here of people not understanding context.
Jon Moxley is headed back to Japan.
He will be on the Resurgence card Sunday in Long Beach, Calif., wrestling in a star-studded six-man tag that includes Kazuchika Okada. Then he will travel to Osaka for Dominion on June 4, which will be his first time wrestling in Japan since February 2020.
“I’m really stoked about going back to Japan,” says Moxley. “Now I don’t have to worry about going back and forth between New Japan and AEW. The working relationship is really good, and that makes it easy for me. I still work for New Japan Strong in the U.S.

Well, the Coyotes social media team had the bright idea to put out a poll, asking fans where they would like the team to play next. A harmless idea, they thought.

Cameron Young blew onto the scene last season, and his beard was a staple to his appearance. Now it’s gone, and fans feel betrayed.
Thus far, the 105th PGA Championship has not gone to plan for Cameron Young. That photo is the same Young that took the world by storm in three of the four majors last year. The same one that finished T7 in the previous two Masters Tournaments, solo second at last year’s Open Championship and T3 at the 104th PGA Championship.

This team is going beyond, Plus Ultra
Friends, we’re at the point in the NFL offseason where anything goes. Football won’t actually be played until maybe August, and as teams begin their offseason workouts, content is DRY.
EXCEPT HERE AT SB NATION.
The crossover between professional sports and anime is vast, especially in football. The traditional shonen amime mantra of pushing past your limits and defeating your enemy is synonymous with football, and everyone at some point wanted to be a Super Saiyan.
Well let’s flip that today.
