That's what he did in Carolina with the Hurricanes too. Got rid of Forslund, went cheaper on coaching with Rod and his staff, went cheaper on GM and then even cheaper than that with Tulsky.
Then when they started winning and coaching wanted more money, he played hardball with them multiple times.
He'll pay for players but he absolutely won't pay for frills, won't pay for staff or anything of the like. An NBA team of player's will go through shock at what he's going to do.
