Forgot who said it a few pages back, but it was interesting.
That Calgary won't be rebuilding, and with that they'll have to add, and the only way to do it is to give up assets in a trade, or to over pay.
I think that's pretty fair.
Could be that we can no longer judge UFA signings in some of these cities vs the average contract that say 20 teams would have gotten.
Makes me think of the Hyman thing a little differently, and the Coleman rumour as well.
Big thing going forward is to get a good player if you're going to overpay, and not a boat anchor.
You can't add Brouwer and Neal with an overpay.
Hopefully if Coleman is the guy they pay 750K and one extra year more for a player that is good, but not as good as his contract.
Columbus, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa ... probably others.
