For me Dubas made his bed and it's why I expect him to be fired if they bow out again in the 1st round or even 2nd round. You have a team that's one of the best regular season teams over the past few years with time ticking on Matthews tenure with the team and you trade for Matt Murray to solve your goaltending woes? Really? To make things worse he came exactly as advertised in that he's overpaid, mediocre, and often injured. The fact that he's not even healthy enough to play in the playoffs is icing on the cake as it's the type of mistake a contending window team simply can't afford. He also fell into the same trap as Treliving in that he fell in love with his guys when it's clear the core as-is isn't the right mix to get over the top. That organization needs a fresh perspective that's not attached to the Marners, Nylanders, Reilly's, etc who can come in and make a cold and collected evaluation on the players and why it's not working.
