No doubt...and I don't have any problem if people are picking and choosing but still willing to spend the money.. But we can't grass is always greener our good (and very good) players who aren't great or assume that they are readily replaceable. And I don't want to appropriate money from better players to a higher quantity of lesser players on smaller deals...and better players (true top 6 guys) aren't always super easy to just acquire or replace.
We were an LTIR team this year...that's good...but we need to be a cap team (at least within reasonable variance) now for at least the next 4 years. That's a pretty sizeable window. If they aren't, this team isn't serious about winning. That doesn't mean that they can't make some hard decisions and let contributing people go...but we need to be wary about letting everyone go (which I don't expect...I suspect that Timo gets a long term deal done and if Bratt doesn't, it may be more on Bratt than Fitzy...or at least a shared responsibility...sometimes you just can't do anything about it).
