I hate the attitude that since there is a cap floor, recklessly spending to reach it is completely acceptable and fans have no right to complain about how management spends 10 million dollars.
Where do people think that 10 million comes from? The salary floor was practically already reached when Raymond and Hiller were signed btw, giving Bouma and Colborne 800k and filling the roster with people making league minimum would have put us within 400k of the floor, so signing a guy to a 1 year 1 mil contract would make us floor compliant
People also neglect how this could affect ALL of our future contract negotiations down the road. When the worst player on the team makes 2.92 million...
