...or Stone.Similar to Sekera, it's only useful if they can work it. I mean, what are they going to do? Trade for Matt Duchene, at best? Kesler is hobbled, Perry was still probably about a 20-30-50 guy and they were wack at forward when healthy. If Gibson doesn't stand on his head, they miss the playoffs easy and they're unlikely to get .926 from their tandem again.
It will make it easier for them to get Richie done before the season I guess. That was always going to happen, though.
The Ritchie scenario has more to do with Murray putting the kid in his place. He's earned squat.
