IMO mats is an acknowledgment that they fucked Matthews and Marner into oblivion, feeding two 20 year olds to the wolves without the people at the top ever taking accountability.
Don’t think Shanny or Dubas ever once pointed a finger at themselves.
Steve Simmons should get a follow up "hey Mats, why did you veto that trade that would have helped the Leafs retool... how will you deal with players who cling to their NMCs at the deteriment of the team?"
