It’s pretty normal for teams rebuilding with youth and through the draft to not spend to the cap simply because spending to the cap doesn’t help. If you’re putting young players out there on entry level contracts, then you won’t be a cap team.
If I have to give Conroy credit for one thing, it would finally convincing the owners that this was needed. I hope we weaponize some of that cap space, but not all of it because we need room for young players and a chance to get lottery picks for a couple of seasons. If saving hard cash helps then great.
