It depends how this year plays out . If Mcquaid sits out basically all the time when everyone is healthy there is zero percent chance he is back. First off it is nothing like this years summer , Grz was the surprise of the year , all Mcquaid had to do was beat out postma and hold off kids that in no way looked near ready . I am sure Mcquaid loves it here , in my eyes he has already proved that to me , I also never really get why guys who have made a lot of money like in baseball decide to switch cities and often go to worse teams for a couple million . First off you would think they would be comfortable and second of all winning and championships means you are assumed to be a better player and more money comes your way long term in and out of the sport . I think he is the greatest and I am not a Pat fan but to me Tom Brady gets that .
Now back to Mcquaid , I love this guy but I can't even wrap my head around some of you thinking he would want to stay in a suit here or Sweeney would do that to him . This guy can be as high as a 4 on some teams playing 20 minutes a night but a for sure 5 or 6 on others that would never be scratched . You can't take or expect a guy who has ran through a hundred walls for you that can still play a regular shift elsewhere and have a nice suit planned every game for him starting in October . His play has not declined . He has simply been passed by some and the game has changed a lot . Now if for some reason he wins a regular spot back this year which I believe is possible but very doubtful if 8 are healthy I can see how he would come back . If he doesn't there would have to be two of these eight guys gone in the summer , Holden alone wouldn't be enough to keep him here .
It isn't that I don't love your guys idea about keeping him I do it just isn't going to happen unless he climbs the ladder this year . If I am wrong I will gladly come back in October and admit it .
