Fans need to have patience with Moore and the Front Office.

Not so sure about first statement if Loomis told him it was just not financially feasible. That would be Loomis' call. As far as clearing that much to make all of those signings would likely require restructuring Carr completely which could be a disaster next year. Also, I think you are highly optimistic on some of those contracts, but hope you are right.
If in the big meeting KM would have said DC is not it I want to move on from him from the get go , 1 of 2 things would have happen. Either ML would have said ok , but it will be a tough season or 2 and that's what we would have done, or ML would have moved on to a different HC candidate. BUt from EVERY indication that's NOT what happen. CKM from EVERY report is excited to and wanted to work with DC
