Message: [QUOTE="LetMeIn, post: 5762324, member: 3019"] One thing I have been wondering about wrt to last years total roster spend vs this years total roster spend is how much did we actually spend on the roster last year? I have consistently heard 8 to 9 million for last year, but I have also read numerous times on this board that the coaches made a decision to hold some back for this year. (No need to get into the merits of that choice). So if it is true that Red had total roster $ of 8-9mill available last year but he didn't spend all of it, even if player comp is up 65% yoy and Gerry's roster budget merely kept up with that inflation (approx $14 mill), wouldn't that mean that this year they still have more spending power than last year?
