Thanks Macker; I enjoy reading your recaps and appreciate the amount of work put into it.

I can see how you would consider Barrie losers based on cost of the Windsor & Saginaw trades; but, I will argue that the net affect of the trades on the team makes them winners.
Barrie & Saginaw have made an abnormal amount of trades the past five seasons. Given that Saginaw is overstocked with young players and picks, another big trade next season should not shock anyone.
I think these trades improved chemistry, will decrease costly penalties, improved an already conference best scoring team more than any other in the east, and netted the team more and better returning players for next season.
I am sure the cost was more than Ford? expected; but, he made the Colts a much better 'team' IMO.
