I see these type of comments a lot when it comes to players people perceive are not getting a big enough role. They blow my mind!!!:snakehead
Why the heck would we move a useful support player of any kind just to give them a chance to fulfill their career elsewhere? Even if they are the 13th forward, the 8th defensemen, the 3rd goalie, and they are an asset to the team, they are a valuable piece of our puzzle. Just to move them on to "give them there shot in their career" makes no sense to me at all.
Huge pet peeve of mine.
Move them on because they don't fit here, move them because they are a cancer, move them to get another asset we need more; but please do not move anyone to help them out, if they are contributing to the team success or depth in any way. Depth is tough to com by- Hold onto it. And when their time comes, their contract is running out, we can no longer hold onto to them, manage the asset (the player) by trading him at the appropriate time.
