cw said:The constructive news is that in order to obtain the funds to sign these crazy deals, Dave Nonis, like nearly all GMs, has had to justify to the owners (MLSE board) why they should do these contracts. Over the coming weeks those same owners will be trying to reconcile what Nonis told them to get authorization to do these contracts with these results. It's not going to go well for Dave.
I think it depends on the deal. He'll look bad on Bozak, sure, but I think it would take an awful lot of gumption for anyone on the MLSE board to really look too hard at the Phaneuf or Kessel deals considering what they almost certainly expected of the team being competitive year-to-year.
