It's always going to be about improving for the fans, not saving money. We're dangerously close to a point when the team needs to get worse to get better, really. It's not what people want to hear, but I don't see any other way.
I, personally, wouldn't want to pay the tax or put my team in any danger of paying the repeater tax if something good fell into my lap based on the roster right now.
This is what happens when you have two max contracts attached to players you don't know work well together, imo. We all thought they would fit, but it seems pretty clear that they don't. Something needs to be done about that, and the longer they wait to deal with it the worse this is going to get.
Maxi is a tough one. One of my favorite players. One of our best shooters and defenders but he seems banged up a lot and he seems best in a bench role. Can you resign him at his current contract value or a little less? He'll be 31 when he becomes a free agent. The last year of his current deal is also non-guaranteed so they have a decision to make prior to 7/3/22.
