What I have taken from our FA signings is, Zac and the staff identified that our biggest problem on the team which was defending the run and went out and fixed it without having to rely on the draft.
This will give any young later round picks time to come in and get settled before getting thrown into the team.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see us having a great draft also but I didn't want to have to rely on possibley 5 or 6 of the picks going straight into the team.
I also get the feeling that this FA spending is another sign that Old Mike has finally, once and for all, handed the purse strings over to Katie & Duke who will fully back Zac's decisions as he was their pick for HC and they don't want to see him fail
