The job when you take over
- Only $1.74M of cap space. There's almost no room to add salary, so improving this team means trading money out first.
- 5 contracts end after this season. Decide early who's part of the plan.
- You've already traded away 2 first-round picks (2027, 2028). The prospect pipeline matters more than usual.
