Might just be a ruse anyway, but sending messages instead of sticking to sensible asset management is dumb. Especially when said message makes little sense to begin with.

What is the message in it anyways? The players aren't dumb they can see what his happening, we are trading away all our UFA players for picks and prospects not roster players.
"Hey guys we know you can do it even with our depleted depth on defence, and no immediate help coming in we kept Marky and believe in you."
