I wish people would stop saying this.
There are 2 points here.
1) We're not in cap hell, we have lots of contracts coming off the books. Exactly as you posted. Right. Correct. We all get it. Nice.
2) We can NOT keep all the players we currently have on the roster, so some players are leaving us. Who? How many? that's what we're discussing here. Hudler is the original subject. Odds are we don't re-sign him due to the other contracts we have, new contracts upcoming, and re-signing Gio.
Or to keep Hudler you'll have to give him XXXX which means you have to move XXXXX
We're discussing the moves we are going to be forced to make due to cap room.
Two different discussions. We're not handicapped. We're in an enviable position. Doesn't mean certain players are returning.
