Patrik Allvin looking like a genius: Daniel Sprong showcases his talent and the steal that he is

"It's going to be interesting because, for those who aren't aware of the story and the narrative on Sprong, it's high-end talent, like some would just say an elite level shot, elite level finisher, creativity, the ability to do the things you saw last night, obviously no the well-rounded game. What's going to be interesting here is kind of what Tocchet was speaking about there, can we take the tools that he has and harness them in a good way, in a positive way. Now to me, that's code for can we put him in certain situations where he'll thrive and shadow him in the situations where he'll get caved in. It's the age old argument we've had since the moment they signed Sprong is that, can you do that and be a top-six player?" Halford said.

He later added, "Sprong is going to be a really interesting talking point for the remainder of the year because of these things. It looks like a shrewd management move, he's got high-end offensive talent and he's got some intrigue because no one can make sense of why he's bounced around as much as he's had, with the numbers he has put up. If this thing pans out, the Allvin and Rutherford duo, between that, if they can get Sprong contributing for the contract that he's on and Silovs contributing big time for the contract that he's on, they're going to have two of the better value contracts in the league."
