I know we all wish he'd gotten the OTHER one in hindsight, what can you do? It's not like he didn't try.

This is the FIRST WAVE of free agency, and in a year in which the cap dropped like it did, there will be a big second wave as teams struggle to get under the cap.

Bargain shopping is usually the best usage of financial resources, and I'm sure we'll be players there.

I'm also sure that there will be some trades for guys that Veach targets on teams that need to dump some salary.

AND there's still the draft, where Veach has been nails the last couple of years.

I'm really not worried. I'm curious; and just like you, I don't see exactly what the plan is, but I don't doubt that there IS one, and it'll make sense within another month or so.

Teams are already under the cap now, they won't have to make many more moves.
