Realistically, our incoming players will be Lipinski and Krueger via trade and/or PSD and Daicos, Dib via draft with maybe one live pick.
How it eventuates - accumulation of points, trades etc. remains to be seen, but those will be the incoming players.
I tend to agree it won’t be much more than Lipinski and Krueger and that the real hurdle to anything more, is the salary cap rather than the trade currency.
I think the Lipinski and Krueger trades are easily done with future picks ( and excluding first round of course )
Probably the most we could look forward to after that, would be pick 2 at the PSD or through free agency. Then once again, the issue becomes having the cap space to sign on a third player ( assuming that is a likely issue )
Historically, new coaches tend to give “ question mark “ players the benefit of the doubt in their first year as head coach. I would be surprised if we trade more than two out from here, so again that possible outcome wouldn’t likely wash away our well documented cap pressure either. Potentially, it might take something like Cox and another to move on ( cap wise ) before we could even consider adding a third ready made player onto the list.
Time will tell.
