Skinner traded to Buffalo

Could have probably gotten more for him if JR hadn't given him that ridiculous full NMC.

Internal rumors indicated that Skinner was just going through the motions and by all accounts it seems Brindy is going to make every player work hard at both ends of the ice. Skinner didn't seem to fit with that mentality.

It's interesting to note that DW said that they plan to keep Faulk.

A projected lineup based on the posted roster could like something like:

Zykov/Aho/Teravainen

McGinn/ Staal/ Williams

Ferland/ Necas/ Svechnikov

Martinook/ Rask/ Maenalanen

PDG

Slavin/Pesce

Hamilton/ de Hann

Van Riemsdyk/ Faulk

Fleury

Darling

Mrazek

I'm all for moving Faulk at the right price, but Faulk playing against teams 3rd and 4th lines could be huge.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
