it doesn’t matter who they were gonna get at the time. It matters that 15 million in cap space was dead. Immovable. Inflexible. Unable to be used to buy expiring contracts,

we were already over the cap. you have to keep salary over the cap to get the exceptions and have salary to deal, or else you end up in a shite situation being just under the cap, unable to use exceptions, etc.

it's not as nuclear as you're making it out to be and if we didn't re-sign them, it's possible we end up in a worse position (less flexibility, as paradoxical as that sounds)
