Nobody is signing him for more than 3 years... and the longer the contract the lower the AAV. He definitely screwed the pooch on his contract. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big difference for me is the shot. Sprong has sniper written all over him, while being more physical than Tuz. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted December 15, 2023 At the risk of turning this into a Sprong thread I'll just say that he's much more physical than I anticipated. His defensive game is better too. He works hard on the boards and forechecks/backchecks well. I've followed his career for a while and could never figure out why he couldn't catch on somewhere. I'm still not sure why he didn't, he's a heck of a depth scorer and I wouldn't hesitate to play him higher in the lineup if injuries required it. 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truly heroic. What a menace Edited December 18, 2023 by The 91 of Ryans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
