Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2001601, member: 716"] No, it's not quite like I put it. One poster claimed in summer 2015 that the die was cast and the staff had quit on Joseph (turned out that he was right, and that's how it ended up playing out). So they did force him out, but for no one in particular. Gillon was someone who ended up being available, I guess, and the staff thought he'd fill some needs. Seemed like he would, but things aren't looking great right now - the learning curve is steep and Gillon's game seems to suffer against teams with size and talent. Not sure we wouldn't have been better off with the kid who's played here and could be playing for us beyond this season, too. That assumes that the staff chose to develop Joseph last year rather than planning on a future without him, though. [/QUOTE]
