The Dubas Family - so hard to predict their next move!

 

[zeke]

A ton of tweeters seem to be taking the tweets from Seravalli and the guesses from Friedman at face value without considering the phrasing.

a good number of just mocking them tho.

yup , kids under 6 making decisions can be that way

Deals probably already done, fake ass poser just wants to play it up how he had to discuss if with the ''family'' and left the decision to take the job up to them.

 

[Cojo]

He's obviously going to say that his original comments were in regards to him leaving on his own terms whereas Shanny went in another direction.

Its still awkward and he loses credibility.

As intended by Friedman & Seravalli.

he got fired...so he can't say "I'm taking time off"

the other thing is, people tend to get anxious when they realize there'a a max 32 jobs on the whole planet in your field....maybe 3-4 every year if you're lucky, so there's a real pressure not to turn anything down...

but like you said, definitely awkward

Dubas not taking another job immediately could easily be career suicide tbh.

He didn’t ever need to say the whole “you won’t see me popping else elsewhere!! No siree wouldnt do that”, did he? Did someone ask that explicitly?

I mean I think saying that was not really sincere now but sure, I get going for it.

"I can't put my family through that"

Except you will. And you should. Don't abandon your promising career.

he volunteered as I way of saying "it's not you, it's me"

nope.

seems clear he thought the leafs job was there for him and it was all his choice no matter what he did or said.

In the end, this will be seen a case study on how "not to negotiate"

I'm kind of surprised that Dubas being so bad at negotiating didn't raise red flags earlier

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Such a dumbass.

Can’t put my family through that, no way.

I can and I will.

 

[leafman101]

Yeah if Dubas takes the year off and the Leafs win, only the twitter Dubees will still be on board.

When your only response to the response to "how much do you want?" is "okay"...
