Yeah. The owners wanted to win and Kalezic doesn't know how. That sort of philosophy.
I'm going to put it out there that a side with Rossi, Vidosic, McGlinchey, Dura, Krishna, Kaluderovic and Finkler was never a side that was significantly under the cap - in fact I suspect at least one Marquee spot was used but do not know for sure. The problem was that a majority of that list has failed to perform (or run) and still used most of the salary cap.
That's not a funding issue. Never was.
