They truly are not looking anything past this season are they. They call up Wags instead of Steen, Lauko, McLaughlin. I get they have Greer and Smith, but all three are FAs at the end of season. Does Sweeney not realize he has to basically rebuild a good chunk of the forward group soon? Wouldn’t it be good to see if these guys could replace lower line players so they can save cap space in the off season.
I get no one cares because they are having a great season, but you can still try to do both. Think of now and future cause as much as we want to put on blinders 6 forwards are signed after this season and with this great season its going to cost in salary in the off season to keep players. In a cap world you just can’t spend a ton on the lower lines or you’ll need dumb luck that two top line players have enough team loyalty to be paid like fourth liners to save the team which we have seen.
Grand scheme probably not a huge deal, but still would like to see what potential players signed next year can do rather than players on their way out the door at seasons end.
