I still think it'll work out. MLSE will pay him his money. Where I think may be a problem is if Matthews with the uncertainty, wants some say on what's going to happy with Nylander and Marner. If he starts to get into that conversation it'll be tough. So you have to hire a trustworthy person with a good reputation (ie: Treliving) and hope Treliving delivers the PR delivered message of "you're in good hands, we will surround you with hard working talent" and give him his contract and a week to decide. I'm sure he'll sign, but if he wants to have a personnel say, they're really messed. Make no mistake with this Dubas not only messed himself up, but he messed up potential deals that include Nylander and/or Marner could be bring back what they need. July 1st Nylander and Marner will be locked in and it'll take considerable creativity for the new GM to manage through it.
