Look, I've written all I've wanted to write on Tristan Jarry, never more than following the latest mess. But Kyle Dubas, after blowing it with the big contract, blowing it by waiting too long, not only made the right moves this afternoon -- Jarry to waivers and the AHL, Joel Blomqvist up for a "prolonged look" -- but also blamed himself ... wow, not just for how long this took but even for how little time he'd put into Jarry's five-year, $26.75 million extension two summers ago.
Notably, there was this: "This is the job. You have to make decisions. The job is to make as few mistakes as possible, acknowledging that all of that is out there in the open for everybody to judge. I understand and agree with that. You're not going to get any defense from me on it. It was my decision in the first couple weeks of being here. ... If there are mistakes I make, I try to rectify them, and come out here and face the music."
THE ASYLUM

Now that's how it's done.

Good for him. Better for the team. Finally.
