    To be fair, he was also the one that acquired these assets.

    He definitely misjudged the contracts he signed last year, even though everyone else thought he was crazy.

    I remember you and I got a little crapped on last year in being absolutely pissed about the Turner deal.

    The Turner deal definitely sent me over the deep end. People were trying to convince us that Turner was the perfect fit for the team and exactly what we needed.

    Well it doesn't look any better today....

    No, but maybe economics aren't your thing.

    I was much more "fine with" the Turner deal then the Crabbe "match" personally.

    It wasn't surprising to me that we had to way overpay for a free agent and I personally don't think his deal is super bad in the future when he continues to get even more comfortable with us or is dealt.

    I wouldn't have matched the Crabbe deal though. And I said that at the time. But I am not the GM.

    I seem to remember there was a poll on to match or not and it was pretty close to 50/50 between the posters who responded. So not everyone in here was against it at all.

    There were lots at the time. It essentially went from being pissed about how much we gave Turner, to thinking Neil sucked. It seems like suggesting Neil is more flash than substance around here are fighting words for some.

    Here is the win/loss % for the years with Olshey as our GM.
    12/13 .402
    13/14 .659
    14/15 .622
    15/16 .537
    16/17 .500


    The team now has better W/L % than when Olshey took over as GM.

    However, after the huge improvement in the 13/14 season, it has all been downhill.

    Olshey needs to turn around this downward trend, and improve our W/L %. But, with the salary cap/luxury tax situation, and Turner's and Crabbe's huge overpays, can he do it???

    I was more down on the Crabbe deal than the Turner....I wanted Turner and was thrilled we didn't end up with Parsons instead....Turner is a better defender than people think...we needed defense badly at that point

    Imagine if we would have been the ones stuck with Parsons.......ughh.
    This place would be such a shit show (more so than it already is, and for good reason).

    Everyone was OK with acquiring Nurk and not paying Plums because Olshey paid everyone. :dunno:
