Uronen with 18 points in 13 games. Anyone still think Korbler was the right decision?
Keeping Korbler and trading Ironen was dumb. As mentioned, not only is Uronen the better player handily, he is a 19 year old. We can replace him with our 1st round Import pick. Keeping Korbler means we have to pass on our Import draft next year unless we waive him. If we waive him, it is no different than keeping Uronen with the exception of the 70 points difference in scoring.
This was a dumb decision all around unless Uronen also had zero interest in playing for Cameron.
Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? While I see your point, no one could have known what he would have had here . Also, don't forget he has some pretty good players and a real center in Guindon to feed him. Part of the deal with Uronen might also have been to play with his friend Pie. As you said we do not know what was said or asked for by the players.
If we are building, then Korbler has a larger upside. Remember he has been injured most of the year, is playing with a different coach and system, and is not currently getting Uronen's ice time.
Before we condemn him it might be an idea to see what happens when he comes back.
Remember, Korbler got a few more minutes last year, but he was a rookie. This year, he is an injured sophomore.
Perhaps but in the greater picture we're still a middling team. Personally I prefer it's crystal clear for Boyd at the deadline. I don't want a grey area where he decides not to do a limited sell as I think it's necessary. Besides I wouldn't mind a high draft pick as long as we're reasonably competitivs and the kids develop.
Yeah last thing we need with this team is Boyd and Cameron seeing a competitive team and looking at 4th place and making buyer moves.
