IF the teams gets more depth guys like Grabs/Okposo/Bailey could end up being those veteran 3rd liners that push a team over the edge into Cup contenders. Same conversation is the other thread about the Blues. If the youngsters prove to outplay these guys then they are strong 3rd and 4th liners for the future and if the team is winning I think Wang won't care about the cap hit. However I don't fall into the jaded conspiracy boat as many here so this last part won't hold any water in their eyes

The one guy who thinks Wang & Snow are simply saving their money for a really good couple of UFAs is calling the vast majority of us who know he's being cheap on purpose a "jaded conspiracy boat." You can't make this stuff up. You really can't.

I love Bailey. even If he can only be a 40-50 point playe rin his peak, thats great for a 3rd line player, especially considering he has great skills and vca make those around him better and hes probably our best PKer
