Kyle Dubas: “No matter what is written or what is said about this entire process, John Tavares doesn’t come to Toronto without the players that are here”

At what point during the season are you starting to plan scenarios for if John Tavares becomes available on the market on July 1st?

Dubas: I think, as an organization, you are always trying to look ahead as far ahead as you can. Once we got to free agency last year, you are getting ready to plan your scouting assignments for the year ahead and the different types of projects, whether it’s your personnel department or your R&D department, to begin to look into. We also have Brandon Pridham here, who does an unbelievable job with our salary cap and our contract negotiations.
