Who do we want, who do we need as our next HC and, or GM?

Slight aside, he is not the only one.

I was reasonably happy in the summer with the new contracts handed out - i wouldn't have done Bernard at that price, but the others seemed ok

 

But some of those guys - Benford, Bernard, Shakir - plus a bunch of other guys - Taron, Milano, Rapp - all played well below the level we know they can play

 

In Rapp's case it seems like we found out that there was an injury behind that (or they are lying i suppose)

Possible some of the others are also?

 

I only say this because in the absence of a bunch of new players appearing from heaven to fix it - we are stuck with these guys. And that would actually be just about fine if they played at 8/10 rather than 6/10 every week.

 

Also, i dont rate games missed as the measure (though it is the easiest measure) - Kincaid has only missed one game this season, and a couple last year maybe - but he has barely been fit through that stretch - you don't have the real player, even though it shows as "not injured"

 

I would have paid Benford and Cook. I didn’t love the other deals. You could make a case for Shakir and Rousseau.

Would you pay Kincaid - that decision is coming up this year or next?

 

Fairly sure McBeane will - and we will have another few years of saying we would have fine if only he was fit

 

Also sure a number of fans will also agree as you see flashes with him - but to me its another guy with "flashes" - i never see out of him what i see from McBride, or Bowers or Warren or Kelce or Kittle or even Kraft. He is no mismatch nightmare. He is another 6.5/10 player from the Beano handbook that doesnt move the needle, but takes up just enough cap room that we cant do anything else.

For better or worse, I would pay Kincaid. He’s dynamic (when healthy). The problem I had with the Rousseau, Shakir (a little) and certainly Bernard deals is that they’re all role players. I wouldn’t make a habit of paying for role players. Milano has been hurt the last few years but when he was healthy he was dynamic. I’d always pay guys that I think can be all-pros even if it doesn’t work out. I wouldn’t pay role players as a rule because I think you can find them pretty easily.
