If people want multiple shorter threads, people will also have to work harder at keeping them on topic.

FWIW, I think monster threads are more prone to off-topic stuff because their scope becomes far too watered down.
The monster Jets thread is just annoying as a result. Useful discussion ended weeks ago, but we get an update if Evander Kane farts while walking down Broadway.
OTOH, a thread for each cut, or each group of cuts is more likely to result in a greater number of moronic "OMG THEY SHOULD HAVE CUT STAJAN INSTEAD!!!1" posts because, god knows, nobody will be aware of some people's opinion that <insert hated player here> sucks unless they post it in every thread.
It is a subjective call, but I think that the ultimate decision on a merger into an omnibus thread should be based on the scope of an action. Winnipeg releases new uniforms? New thread. Article praising Dustin Byfuglien's great-grandmother's sister's best friend's new puppy? Merge. Jay Feaster talks about how Roman Horak is performing in camp, merge to camp thread. Half the roster of the Abbotsford Heat gets sent down in one go? New thread. IMO, of course.
