[QUOTE="hoos, post: 139462, member: 231"] I think this is it plain and simple. Just about any FA can be lured into GB with the right combination of factors. For some, it will be easier because GB fits their needs (family atmosphere, rich tradition, etc.). Other FA however will require more money because of the intangibles that other teams/cities offer. It is my opinion that it is the job of the GM to determine what amount of money it will take in order to convince that player to sign here. He must determine what he is fighting against (city/team desires) and counter it with a proper contract offer to convince the player that GB is the team for him. At the end of the day, all that matters is whether the player signs with GB and if he does, if the deal was reasonable. Reasons why a player signed with another team are simply excuses if we really wanted that player and he would have improved our team. I feel like TT has the knack for making reasonable signings. My worry is that he hasn't developed the ability (along with the rest of the staff) to outbid opponents when necessary. Granted, it is hard to prove this since they don't post contract offers on websites too often. My other worry is that he has more of a “sit in line and wait for them to come to me” approach which does not work when you are competing with the more aggressive teams. [/QUOTE]
