Last post by theaardvark - February 24, 2026, 03:29:19 PMMuch as I'd like to retain Stanley now that he has found his stride, $5mil for 6 years is going to be his ask, no doubt, and with the D deals we have in place with our top 4 under contract for 2 more years, that's tough to squeeze in there for what will be a third pairing guy.
With Salmonson coming up, unless they trade someone above Stanley, I can't see them not moving him.
Now, if they can move Pionk, put Demelo on the top pair, put Stanley on with Samberg for the rest of the season, then we can see if Stanley is worth re-signing at a premium.
Would still have Fleury, Phillips, and Freji under contract to pair with Salmonson for the bottom pair/pressbox...

Thus, expected to stay with club
Is Stanley our expected move ? How bout Schenn, Pionk or Fetts ?
Unless we win 4 in a row and show a glimmer of hope to be
in the playoffs, would hope that Chevy moves out some aged players. Draft capital in the first 2-3 rounds is crucial

I think that's what Mafia look for in DBs when there aren't many other options. We've gone through this so many times before. For instance, Parker didn't look much better when he first started out for us. Heck, not even Ford looked good his first few games.
After my rewatch of the ESF, and calculating the trajectory Bonds was on before his injury, I think Bonds would have started, and done better than, Houston. It appeared to be mostly Houston getting burned by the deep 50/50's (though Parker screwed up too, just like the GC 3rd & 3).
We'll never know... but what I do think is that if Bonds can rehab 100% with little risk of "pulling a Schoen", I think he's back on at least our PR the same day. The only other sticking point is if we find the next D.Alford amongst the rookies.
I don't totally disagree. As you mentioned it might depend on the success of the new CB. Any newer player getting injured can be that lost opportunity to continue.
If / when he's healthy it will be a timing issue of need for any team since he's a free agent. His SMS is not going to be excessive so that's in his favour.
We really don't know much about his injury or how limiting it will be going forward.
Yes, I'd bring him back but he might have to be prepared to stick on tthe PR.
