There are a few exception but the better teams definitely seem to stick to this tactic. The best franchises seem to have numerous, young cap bargains filling out the bottom lines making the high dollar deals much more doable. |
EVERY team has as many of these as they can (because they are desirable).
That does not, in any way, prove that successful teams don't sign players like Frolik or Brouwer.
