I have been out of the country so haven’t been able to fully chime in on how vexed I am about this deal and what it signals.Originally Posted by Canary10
How many of these loan to own deals work? What are the odds that he is still on the roster next March?
25%?
Gah. These deals are the hallmarks of timid management teams that can't identify or sign players and don’t know what else to do. The locker room dynamics on these deals are all wrong from the get go. Regardless of the quality of the player.
This seriously brings back bad memories. Remember Alen Stefanovic and John Bostock?
(Bostock has gone on to have a very nice career in Belgium, Turkey and France, and now plays for Toulouse. Like I said, my comment on the transaction is not related to the potential caliber of the player)
