Thread: Ryan Donato BOS and MIN fans come here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>They probably "gave up" on Blake Wheeler too early as well, but it also probably got em the cup. That's how these things go. Generally, clubs hold on to prospects, especially first round picks, way too long for my taste. Just because someone turns out to be a good player doesn't make it wrong to give them up at one point in time. Every 5th or 6th rounder has a chance of being the next Klingberg or Stone, so teams should never give up on those players if they followed your methodology. But you can't work like that, you have to think in terms of probabilities. Boston deemed it more probable to win a cup thanks to Coyle's contribution in the next two years than with Donato for however long they can keep him, and I agree with that decision</div></div>

Wheeler was also a much better/more established player when he was traded. We think Donato ends up there but Wheeler was almost doubling Donato's production when he was traded.
