I think its a little different than some interpretations taken here in regards to roster movement and what they said in the presser.

They will not/did not sell a body in an urgent fashion to get chuckie signed. He didn't want a deal that led to sacrifice the teams depth (i.e hamstring and sell a brodie or frolik for cents on the dollar).

I thought tree made it perfectly clear that he's not done because they're never done but now they don't have to make a move out of urgency. So now when we do see a move its a value for value trade. So I still think a guy like brodie or fro can go but itll be more like the kadri or zucker deals. Not fro for a pick or brodie for a pick.

I really think theyre going to try and make room for Bennett with Backs and chucky.
