Does it seem like Shanahan expects to survive another 1st round loss in the playoffs? I say thats not at all likely and he will be very incentivized to improve the club at the cost of some futures rather than save things for his replacement. The window is shrinking, JT, OEL and Tanev aren't kids and there is at least a mathematical chance they don't re-sign Marner.
Kyle opened the wallet and added O'Reilly and McCabe a couple of years ago. Spent some futures but IMO it moved the needle and if Sammy wasn't in the net, who knows? The last 3 years Campbell and Samsonov have given them .896, .897, and .898 in the playoffs. It looks like that might not be a problem this season. No Sammy and no Keefe now

If they can get players with the impact potential of ROR and McCabe again they need to do it and I think Tre gets that.
