[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 162065, member: 431"] I don't know that the cap increase has been all that helpful to GM's in terms of managing it. All the increased number of dollars has done is given some players a lot more money than they are worth. One aspect of our cap position that had to be worked around was all the wasted money still being paid guys no longer on the team. Every team has some of this but we were heavily burdened there. Because of this we were top heavy with minimum wage players or just above that to offset what amounted to lost available salary dollars. Herein lies what TT was faced with when making cap decisions that ultimately lead to NOT retaining guys like Wahle. This move would have required CREATING cap dollars by adding MORE players to that minimum wage list. WHY? Because you have to cut higher salaried players and replace them with minimum wage players to CREATE cap. We were already short of quality players and high on minimum wage players so making moves to keep some of those that parted early would have affectively meant robbing Peter to pay Paul. Moving out a quality player in order to hold onto another one. The increased cap has been great for the Players Union. I don't see where it's made the GM's job any easier. [/QUOTE]
