I literally acknowledged he was injured when I said “yeah” and then mentioned injuries lol. You’d be foolish to think he was the only one injured. Defensive stud and I’d pay this to Cirelli too, but my whole point was both of them deserve the price tag. Regardless cirelli got caved in against the avs compared to every other series and I’ll let you use the injuries as the reason, doesn’t bother me.
I never mentioned there weren't injuries, did I? Or even insinuate it. I don't care about Nichushkins contract in a cirelli thread but I stated in that thread - worth it, absolutely.
He "got caved in" on two bum shoulders, not because Nichushkin bent him over a barrel. I'm sure most players would. And this is coming from a tampa fan that would have rather seen us trade him. Thank you for "letting me" use injuries for the guy that scored a couple goals without a good shoulder on his frame.
Also, he was a ghost offensively til the avs series so that doesn't help the argument.... which is part of why I would've rather seen him moved. I actually prefer Lehkonen as a comparison to him, which is a much better deal imo.
