I believe you are correct. We have not exactly kicked ass in the "capped' age

Ironically though, it's been the Danny's penchant to shop w/big $ for free agents & coaches that has been the main reason we haven't been successful in this era. The same things that built good teams back then still work today. Good teams still value the draft. The biggest difference is pointed out in the article, depth. YOu simply can't keep all your stars all the time, especially if one isn't getting enough playing time.

Recent moves by Danny & Vinny really look encouraging, they drafted 10 players this year & were smart w/re-signing vets. I hope to see more of the same, but I'm still wary that an uncapped year would be a big spending spree for danny, which could come at the expense of team chemistry.

Remember that in the 80s there was no cap, but also only Plan B free agency, which didn't allow marquee players to hit the market.
