Probably trying to not let him get his 4 games in so he remains waiver eligible. Gotta be able to keep Sprong & Fischer on the roster after all.
At this point, changed my mind on Sprong.
Let him walk
Hind sight: Should have traded him and Perron at the TDL.
And Kane and Gost.

Nah.
He earned a spot on this team and Yzerman buried him.
Why should he still give a fuck about the Wings?
Yeah

Cuz he has so much owed to him. I didn’t like him being sent down but claiming he’s mailing it in because he was owed a roster spot is silly. He ain’t tanking his career out of spite. If he is, he’s just fucked himself over.
He was offered a contract and turned it down.
What does that tell you?
He does want to be here.
If you don't think that impacts his play, I don't know what to tell you.

You’re right, no player has ever turned down a contract before and then negotiated a different deal with their team. And it’s a smart play on his part to play like shit so other teams will be interested once the Wings give up on him. That’s brilliant.

If he checked out for that, he isn’t what you want anyway. He had a chance to prove he belonged and blew it Bigly.

And it just happened that both scored.
Could you repeat this in tomorrow's thread?

Young players with limited options don't often turn down deals and ask for trades.
Pay attention.
