That question will be answered when we have the opporyunity to observe how we do business in 2008 and beyond. Will we demonstrate restraint like we did this year (maybe because of cap restraints) or do we revert back to last year's practices? The jury is still out.

Ding, ding, ding, a winner! Thanks for actually answering all my questions lol.
Yeah I pretty much agree with what you said, I am just trying to get people to convince me that we really have shifted our attitude to developing players in the draft.
