Huge misses. Don’t care if the contract AAV were good or not. These guys were not able to do what they were supposed to do. They were brought in to solidify line 2 and they haven’t made that happen now 3 and 4 years in. They haven’t helped the team take the next step to make the playoffs. Contrary to accepted belief, they have actually tried to build a team to make it each of the last 4 years. If they were really signed as placeholders until the team was ready for playoff, then why are they still on the roster now? Average guys filling a place signed to a 5 year term doesn’t seem to make a ton of sense. They are in playoff mode and these guys are still here. Copp has one year left after this and Compher two. They were signed to be part of the move to the next step and they’ve underachieved at helping to do that.

The misses on the signings of Copp & Compher are brutal and continue to hurt the organization. They were both signed coming off big playoff runs and supposed to solidify the 2nd line and 2nd special teams. Despite a few short stretches, they have both failed miserably in that goal. They are very average players doing very average things and have being doing it for multiple seasons. They need to be replaced and shouldn’t be anywhere near a top 6 role anymore. The team should instantly get better the moment a new GM can move off these mistakes.

The money cannon at UM isn’t any different in basketball than Kentucky, Kansas, and UNC. The difference is in the coach. That’s the real special sauce. They’ve hit a home run with May. The other blue bloods I mentioned just figured the program was strong to enough to prosper with lesser guys because of the brand. Turns out that doesn’t matter anymore now that other people have the cash. Having a stiff like Mark Pope or Hubert Williams just because they’re an alum doesn’t work anymore.

I can say with near certainty that voters will be completely ignoring the defensive side of his game.

Please don’t blow this

Jays wanted to keep him but he opted out on his own.

The maga retort to this is always something stupid along the lines of… Because of the weak leadership of Biden, Obama, and Hillary (even though she never actually led), we needed a tough President that is not politically correct in order to get things done in liberal infested D.C.

I absolutely agree except PG is the one spot where it matters. You have to be able to keep your guy in front of you. It’s a killer if they can drive the lane with ease and either kick for a 3 or take it all the way for 2.

I will agree with you on Keith if the numbers are the same in two years. Right now he’s still a maturing player and the expectation is there’s more production to develop. Hes not someone that any sane organization would give up on at this stage of his career arc.

Today is the last game of spring in Lakeland. I would think they have to set the roster later today before they head to Arizona for 2 on with the Rockies prior to opening day in San Diego. EDIT: I guess I jumped the gun on this one. I saw an article from yesterday saying they are taking everyone to Arizona and won’t make final decisions until Wednesday or even Thursday morning. Seems a bit brutal to make these wait until the morning of opening day but that’s the business.

Forgot that one. I added them in.

You guys will never guess how far Trump told a reporter that Iran was from having a nuclear bomb. Two weeks! Lol The grift never stops and the dumbest of the dumb continue to eat it up. They are brainwashed into believing that everything is a liberal plot to take away their guns and give them to trans immigrant gangs that will vote illegally and pump Chinese fentanyl into the water system and all of it is Joe Biden’s fault.

He’s the New Orleans version of Josh Paschal

Maga doesn’t get to argue about the justifications for this war. No more foreign wars and wasting billions of dollars were core tenants of the movement. Both of Trump’s campaigns centered around this concept. The flip flop is ridiculous. They’ve all been played a fool by a con man and are too embarrassed to admit it. They continue to dig deeper and now look even more pathetic.

going to be eating at Tony Packo’s next week.
