We need a flow of talent via Draft and FA like the last 3 years, we will lose good players to FA and need the flow of talent to continue to replace the ones we lose. Smith might not have done it alone, but I’m sure he has assembled a pretty good scouting team and if/when he leaves he will be taking some of his scoutr with him.

I know you never hesitate to pat yourself on the back
, but I think the difference here is Mayhew isn't coming in to call all the shots on personnel, I believe plenty of people would have a problem with that arrangement if that were the case. He's reporting to Ron who will still be running the show.
