Jankowski/Rodrigues aren't the reason Haula's not here. They're min wage and internal real dollar cap aside, could be vanished in a heart beat if needed. Rutherford going for them early has nothing to do with not getting Haula.
Sceviour/Riikola/Ceci are kinda reasons, in that if they're min wage players instead you can fit Haula in for the exact same dollars, although we don't know if the Florida deal could be done without Sceviour (I presume so? But don't know) and Riikola/Ceci aren't exactly enough to bring in Haula, and you've got to assume Haula costs a little more due to the tax rates, and etc.etc. so maybe they're reasons and maybe they're not.
The real reasons we don't have Haula - or Soderberg, or Wennberg, or whoever - are guys like Kapanen and McCann. Mid-market guys taking up a decent chunk of change (although you got to consider both are on reasonably small number of dollars today). Take them out of the equation and all of a sudden it's easy to get a couple of guys like Haula etc.etc. There's an argument that maybe we should have done that, but that's what we've got to talk. Not Jankowski, because once you've spent the money on guys like Kapanen and McCann, that's pretty much all you can do.
