Again I get it but management signed the ones they could to those contracts with NMCs, it doesn’t matter if we like it or not it is what it is. The rest of the money available is what it is, it needs to be optimized and so far paying for the best UFA depth available has had middling results at best. Florida didn’t fill out their depth with premium UFAs, they got waiver claims and reclamation projects. We haven’t gone for a Bennet/Reinhart trade and it’s not for a lack of money, our pro scouting just sucks.

We’re not getting a Nichushkin/Lehkonen/Reinhart in UFA regardless of whether we have 4 mil per player or 2mil per player to spend.

Oh I agree. Pro scouting has missed the mark a ton over the years. Even letting Brazeau go feels like a failure to evaluate what’s in front of your face. The whole organization is asleep at the wheel.
