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...

If this affects a single contract on this team going forward then the management are terrible at their jobs.
This isn't reckless spending at all because the guy fits a specific role the team was looking to fill, doesn't handcuff the team going forward, doesn't impact the teams ability to add players they want going forward and doesn't affect future deals.
