I don't think the article was actually saying "We should have signed Mawae". It's just saying that if they're gonna go out and get an old center, Mawae seemed like the more logical choice because of his connection to the front office.

So that raises the question of why they picked Casey, which is then explored. I think he's gonna start, but it's a good point that maybe they didn't promise him anything like they probably would have had to with Mawae.
