Everyone with half a clue knew the over payments were coming right after Willie won his battle. Then Matthews is given the world, I mean getting all bent out of shape about Marner, what did you actually expect? I called it at the time, he was getting double digits, the moment Dubas got scared about Matthews getting offer sheeted and subsequently over paid with no term. Marner gave up another year and less AAV, it sort of fits, not with the league salaries, but the internal precedent Dubas set. It’s fascinating to me how people can’t lay any blame with Dubas, yet have this critical eye everywhere else, it’s just crap analysis to be honest. Dubas blew the big 3, period.
