by cutting all those players and picking up brand new players, you have the obvious learning curve pains that they are going to go thru, which may cost us a few games.
But more importantly, if we are going to get back to the playoffs this year or the next, we need to preserve our continuity. We can't go out every offseason and add 4 or 5 FA's that are pricey at the cost of some of our veteran players. This changes the locker room dynamic and if u have noticed the skins have typically been better in the second half of the season for the past 5 years or so, b/c it takes time for these new players to gel into the system. The best teams in the league, even after having mediocre seasons, keep their core of players and make a few conservative changes. dropping all 3 of those players u mentioned is very very risky because u have team leaders and personalities that u are just yanking out of the mix and completely overhauling the roster. im all in favor of getting better but we need do it in a calculated manner that provides for long term success.
