I honestly wish them well. I'll never regret the Vrana move. He was a shithead here for whatever reason. I hope he grows out of that, learns more of a team game, and fulfills his potential. Mantha feels like a good fit for us, so the trade worked out for everyone involved. Isn't that what's supposed to happen?
Sprong just didn't fit here. He clearly wasn't changing his game enough for the coaching staff. And it's a shame because this team could use his speed and finish. We can quibble over who's at fault there, and I do believe both sides could have made more of an effort, but ultimately it's on him to adapt. He's a good individual performer in one phase of the game. This team prefers versatility and responsible play. Not a good fit.
If MoJo gets outplayed and ends up a scratch, yeah, I think it could have been a little better to have a specialist subbing in with some standalone offensive punch. But either way I want a guy that's actually vying for a full-time spot, and that wasn't happening here for Sprong.
