DB has been busier than Chuck in locking up players long term and NTC clauses and in many cases rushes to do so on small sample size. It’s going to take the next GM 3-5 years to dig out of Danny’s contracts when he’s eventually fired.
What if Vladar finishes the season closer to his career average the last few months? And it turns out one month, October, was the outlier? Do you want to be stuck with that for 5 years because your other options at the time of signing were worse?
There is no rush, take your time, make sure you have the right guy.
