It’s been a hot topic of conversation over the last week – one that’s difficult to have an honest talk about among a fanbase that has become increasingly divided, especially on this subject. Really, though, it wasn’t the news of no extension that caught my eye – it would seem obvious that he would not be extended at this time – but rather Dubas saying (twice) that he prefers to be evaluated over the totality of his five-year term.
If we are to undertake such a retrospective, we have to start with the team Dubas inherited. Yes, there were a few awful contracts on the books, but it was also a 105-point team.
