Guest Heaten Report post Posted August 5, 2010 We can't have the best of both worlds. The salary cap has prevented that. Spending money on Modano does lessen the amount of cash we'd have to spend on defensemen, which is not a position we're deep at. I don't understand why a Cleary/Helm/Hudler line wasn't enough for people to be happy? Apparently we also needed to sign Modano. Move Meech and Miller/Ritola and Wings have approx $1.5 million to sign a defensemen. You are right, Wings can't afford a 'Sutton' type guy (who wouldn't get the ice time to justify his contract anyhow). But can get damn good depth guy for that cash. Why ain't $1.5 million enough?
