Torres didn't want money, he only wanted a second year for some job security, MG only wanted to give him one year so Torres went elsewhere. Ehrhoff may have wanted money, but he deserved it and we needed him, he signed for 4 mill a year in buffalo, something we could have easily lived with considering what he brought to the team. With that cap hit we could have easily traded him away if he started to suck.
Letting them walk wouldn't have been so hard if he had actually had a plan to replace them, instead he told us Edler would replace his production, and didn't even try to replace what Torres brought.
