It just does no good to be saying these things in public. The proper thing is to say no comment when negotiations are ongoing or on the horizon. You thought he would have learned this, this summer. Everytime Dubas opens his mouth, other GM's are in full panic because he is resetting the market higher, and higher. He really has been over matched against Gross and Orr Hockey Group. I don't begrudge players for making money, but if you are fans of Point, Barzal, Rantanen, Aho, Boeser, Dubas just made other GM's jobs that much harder.
