When Dubas was fired, there was only a month or so until Marner's trade protection kicked in. It would have required a lot of balls to trade away your best winger, and reportedly, Shanahan told Tre that he wasn't allowed to trade Marner anyway.
If the latter part is true it does absolve him of responsibility, but either way they are not making the playoffs this season, and I think the writing is on the wall.
