Big decisions are coming in the organization: free agency deadlines, player contract extensions, and potential roster revamps. It's premordial they sort out Dubas's situation promptly.
"They have to get this done quickly because they have a lot of decisions to make up and down the roster and around the team," said Friedman.
If they don't act quickly, Dubas might just find himself another job in the NHL.
