Yeah. You don't pay futures for #7D.
You promote from within for that role, or make a waiver claim. Either option is way, way better than spending futures.
Shows you have no faith in your scouting & development when you're spending assets for replacement level players.
So glad we finally figured out the benefits of leaning on the young talent in your own system.
No depth picks thrown away for nothing, and the promotions have actually moved the needle for the team.
I guess in that aspect, Treliving is old school-minded, and I'd say it's to his detriment
