If you had to lose one, thatās the one. Although Verdell is too injury prone.
Ducks really need to see what they have with Dollars. He looked good in limited opportunities.
Dropping CHL and adding Cardwell as well as pursuing DeRhuyter over Tosh just validates that Mario is willing to adapt. CHL provided more than productions to this program. I wish him well.
Addition by subtraction.
