Here’s the kicker:
Policy had an out last year with the easy excuse and lame duck status, but extended Matt anyway. I don’t know if the terms were ever disclosed, but say 3 years and 45 million would be on the low end of years and average end of dollars for an extended veteran HC.
Since those contracts are fully guaranteed, now he’s stuck. If it were a new HC, I think folks would be more understanding that you can’t just turn everything over one year after installing a new system.
But now if MLF is a (predictable) disaster, Policy either has to wait it out as long as possible, or cut bait quickly and then explain to shareholders why he donated $45 million dollars to the Matt LaFleur fund for no reason at all.
