On Thursday, Kyle Dubas was on Tim & Sid and spoke about the the Mitch Marner negotiations. The part that has been getting all of the attention was Kyle saying “I’ll try to get as creative as we possibly can to try to get it across the finish line.”
You might be wondering: “what exactly does he mean by getting creative?” like I did, initially. I mean, using signing bonuses like he has with pretty much every major contract is neat and all, but that’s not creative anymore so much as it’s standard operating procedure to use their wealth as an advantage.
