Read through pages and this is the post.
Folks gone are the days where you overpay for anyone but a core player. The rest is replaceable.
People need to remove the emotional element. Career years before contract renewal is a warning sign for bottom 6 guys. Think Bouma - I bet Brad has nightmares about that.
Put the dough on core guys like Johnny, Monahan, Gio, Brodie, Hamilton, Bennett, etc. Rotate out the rest as contracts expire. Simple business model.
Colborne I like him but he's not a core guy.
