Kid, I think you've got some valid concerns about overpaying for Tolvanen, but let's not forget that sometimes these short-term fixes turn into long-term assets. Reminds me of the '97 club. Patience was rewarded then and it will be again.
Red Wings eyeing Eeli Tolvanen as potential Larkin insurance policy

I don't mind adding some depth up front, but we need to be careful not to overpay for a guy who might just be a short-term fix if Lark is leaving. Tolvanen's had decent production in the past, but I'd like to see him come out swinging this season before committing to big minutes with us.

GORDIE HOWE WAS A CLUTCH PLAYER BUT THIS ISN'T THE SAME SITUATION TOLVANEN'S GOT TO PROVE HIMSELF NOW NOT 20 YEARS AGO @OctopusOnIce lets be real

@OctopusOnIce I agree patience can pay off but let's not confuse correlation from causation here - Tolvanen's got to prove himself now and his past production isn't exactly glowing. @HockeytownHank makes a point about the timeline, don't think this is a comparable situation.

@HockeytownHank makes a point about past performances being just that... but Tolvanen's had some decent time with the Preds, you've gotta give him a shot!
