[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 836077"] I do believe that is fair. There was not abundant cap to sign these guys. It's necessary to identify the chicken and the egg. These guys were gone in FA before it was even known who the replacements might even be. The decisions to let these guys go were primarily monetary. Thompson ended up reaching for their replacments. Signing Perry to that extension prior to 2017, to take one scenario, where only a part of that money would have been needed to retain Hyde, also looked like a decision in the range of reasonableness given 2016 looked like he turned the injury corner. But all this misses the larger point. If, over the course of more than a decade, all we can point to only two drafted players "getting away" in FA by signing decent second contracts elsewhere (or even the ones who were simply cut), how should we think that ranks across the league in "lost opportunities"? Awfully darn low I would say. [/QUOTE]
