Yeah it has been a major under utilized tool by Ballard. Like most things, going to the extreme can cause major issues. But using a nearly straight cap allocation and trying to compete against teams pushing money into the future will always put you at a disadvantage. The key is in managing it properly to coincide with your window or other major events. There has to be a plan.
