Not to excuse anyone, including myself, but this is what happens when you spend five months pursuing a player that everyone agrees has been missing for 25 years, and then come up short because the perception is you cheaped out.
The fans would’ve accepted a high acquisition cost. They would have respected the balls. The naysayers would have naysought, and maybe they would have been right, but at least there’d be a reasonable chance that a 0.95 PPG MacKinnon/Matthews tier player would be in the lineup before seasons end.
Tuch, Krebs, 1st and 3rd.
It’s easy to say “well Buffalo wanted Krebs more”. Or “Tuch is the true centrepiece.”
If they never had any offer on the table that was better than that, in both quantity and quality, they wasted everyone’s time. They should have withdrawn their name from contention months ago.
So people are pissed. And they’re right to be.
That’s no reason to be disrespectful to other posters - they didn’t not make the deal.
Try Hard didn’t.
But it is what it is.
Be respectful to your fellow posters, everyone.
