Like most feel, it is perhaps a little more term and dollars than we would have liked but thatīs ok. This contract wonīt cripple us. The difference is that we donīt have a Smid, Wideman, Engelland, Bollig AND Grosssman, et al on our cap to make the situation worse.
Say what you want about Brouwer, but Stajan comes off the cap next year, meaning Brouwer is our only potentially bad contract. Thatīs not a bad position to be in. Good cap management by Tre in my mind.
And Stoneīs cap hit is friendly, I am sure in a year or two there will be takers for Stone at 3.5 instead of having to deal one of our prospects that are ready
