He played almost the entirety of his career before the cap was put into place.

So what you're saying is there really is no comparison to be made here since the circumstances are to different, I agree

The thing is we moved on from a servicable player at a reasonable cap hit for the role he could fill and replaced him with a similarly serviceable player at a similar cap hit. They brought different elements to be sure, but we paid a price to simply change the mix. Its a curious choice, and while I'm not quite ready to suggest as JD1 did that there is a personality issue at play, it does raise a flag, particularly with a player that was scratched for disciplinary reasons.

I’m saying it’s a mistake to assume that there is something wrong with a player if he plays for many teams.

It would be more compelling if the same GM who acquired him is the one that disposed of him.
