Spezza resigned as well.
Sure sounds like Dubas thought pretty high of himself and fired a contract back way higher than what they had been working on.
|
Dubas sat on a hand that was weaker than he realized.
|
Depends if he wanted to keep the job. He might have set a high price intentionally.

Exactly. Dubas isn’t toxic - he will walk in to another job whenever he wants it. Toronto didn’t offer him an extension until after the season, so he might not feel super fond of them. Toronto is facing a possible massive rebuild in a town where their media is as bad or even possibly worse than Edmonton. It’s going to be a thankless job if you’re trading Auston Matthews.
He may have asked for the moon - if so he did it after mentioning he wouldn’t mind taking a short break - but if so I think it probably is a smart decision for him. Now we see if the break he needs is the summer or a full year or what. I do expect he will re-emerge in the shorter term.
