ah ya. I think i prefer Hart to Dort. i think i'd be open to this if Lou went Toronto's way and we don't include Hart.
Well one thing to take into account is that Dort makes significantly less than Hart. Gives us more room under the tax to make salary eating moves in the future. Also, can't have your cake and eat it too...
In his career, OG has been healthy for 301 games out of a possible 410. His last 2 seasons have been his worst for availability. Not worth what Toronto is apparently asking.
390, not 410. It looks like about 15 of those from this season were health and safety protocols. The previous season, 10 were for rest and health and safety protocols, and then at the end of the year, they basically did what we did with Ant and Nurk and shut him down to continue their tank, so a total of 18 games last year were of no concern. 8 games the prior season he missed for "personal reasons". So in his career for legitimate injuries, he's missed 8, 7, 3, 11, and then this past year 19. 48 games in 5 years. An average of playing about 72-73 games a season. I'm good with that. Not overly concerning.
In 5 years he has only passed the 70 game mark once. in the 60s twice, and in the 40s twice. How do you get an average of 70+ out of that?
Point is that a good chunk of the games he's missed have been because of COVID, and it's not reasonable to hold those against him with regard to injury history.
Rest, personal reasons and covid aren't some reoccurring injury that we'd have to be scared of, but whatever.
