My logic was my team was last place when I took over, was pretty old, and was tight to the cap. So not really a good combination.

I think I may have went a little too far in the drive to get young and move out big contracts - but in the end there is a vision here at least.

Now my team is younger and has lots of potential, I feel like I have lots of young assets, and since I've traded away $18M of cap for this season (and have few expiring RFAs) I will have a ton of cap space to work with in the pre-RFA window cap crunch where trade values seem to come down.
