TOUGH call
but
David Clyde...
I think the line of thinking is give up one season for many...
but..
why not tailor the program to include the possibility of getting into the playoffs.
But
The Goal is TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS and then try and take it from there so the thinking was probably "lets try and use him as long as we can to try and get us there and then win it without him in the final games
I could argue this with myself for hours...
but
I do understand the move
