It has nothing to do with cap structure. voice-verified

That's all the general manager. voice-verified

Someone connected with the Ducks, just to dispel any of these notions, said that last year Henry Samueli made more an interest voice-verified

than the Ducks paid out in player salaries. voice-verified

So it has nothing to do with their lack of interest in spending. voice-verified

He's ready to spend to the cap any year and do whatever it takes. voice-verified

So that puts that aside. voice-verified

But I think the most instructive part for me to get a glimpse into how the Ducks have operated here is on Friday morning, I have my days mixed up because there was a holiday too. voice-verified

I think it was Friday morning. voice-verified

Friday morning, the Ducks and Leo Carlson and his agent met. voice-verified

Actually, Leo Carlson's dad was on the call too, interestingly enough. voice-verified

And the Ducks put, in that moment, an eight times 12.5 offer on the table. voice-verified

To get to this point and just be getting to 12.5 on July 3rd, voice-verified

is the clearest indication of, well, they were obviously way below that before. voice-verified

And so it's really been about the Ducks, their interest in using their leverage, and when I say the Ducks, I mean Pat Verbeek, voice-verified

And using his leverage of the RFA system to try and squeeze these players and say, when you're an unrestricted free agent or you're a pending unrestricted free agent, or we're talking about buying lots of unrestricted free agency years, that's a different calculation. voice-verified

And we'll address that then. voice-verified

Because if you look back, they've spent pretty freely on UFAs and hammered their RFAs. voice-verified

And that's a real big belief that he has as like a core tenant in building their roster. voice-verified

Right, right. voice-verified
