2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[loki]

WINGS (6-7) - 96 mins. DFS / Bullock will get 60-65. The other 31-36 go to others. So far, those others are Bertans, THJ, Green, Franky. On paper, maybe Bertans gets 15-20 (the only big wing backup, and presumably the most lethal shooter), THJ gets 20-25 (good scorer, former starter, etc), Green or Franky get a few here and there. But as previously noted, all of that doesn't fit into the minutes available.

Observation: Not sure how they split the backup minutes, but adding a free agent wing doesn't make sense - there's no minutes. So to have a different 3rd wing to rotate with DFS / Bullock, it would mean THJ has to go, and maybe Bertans too. Their contracts are too big to waive, so if you want to alter the wings, it will almost certainly take a trade. (If I can tell Nico to create some more magic, he keeps the top 7 on the roster and adds Collins via trade.)

There are minutes open if you're willing to bench Bertans/Green/Frank. I have no issues doing that if someone better is available for the taxpayer MLE. I don't think it's feasible to trade Bertans at this point in his contract, but that doesn't mean he has to be part of an 8 man rotation.
