So in layman's terms....they plan to fire him next season.

He knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

Probably because they have a 416-202-82 record with him as GM.

They've also won 7 playoff rounds.

GMs oddly have a very long leash in the NHL. They were getting old for years and they continued to build on a relatively aging core. I guess he's done very well as the record shows, despite having some bombs, primarily this deadline, not selling assets high, and that infamous draft where their three in a row 1st rounders were duds. But the whole body of work shows he's done a lot right, so perhaps this is the least they could do.

A two year extension probably indicates that ownership has given him the benefit of the doubt but the clock is ticking.
