Always felt Manning trying everything to get back Richie with the cost it would take to get him when the whole team is fucked would have been like a buddy identifying they need a $20,000 kabota lawn tractor when their house has black mold everywhere, needs a new roof job, there’s structural problems with the foundation lol, and theres soil problems with too much sand in the mix so the grass burns anyways.
Happy we didn’t go down this route. Happy for Richie if the purchase option occurs. I think that’s over pay in that role unless we’re about to get a 4th DP or some restriction loosening… since Vancouver are usually frugal as hell
