Re: Gunnar to IR
3Well, that and the fact that the right side is really crowded already with Petro, Parayko, Faulk and Bortz. JBo and Dunn are our only two healthy lefties, though Bortz can play the right side. If we needed a lefty it was going to be between Mikkola, Pouliot, Borgmann and Walman. Pouliot had his chance and it didn't go well, and Mikkola has been the best of the other three.usmcaaron wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 4:31 pm I'm guessing Niko over Mitch because they're valuing defensive ability over playmaking right now.
