No it really isn't. That's why I felt a big move needed to be made in the summer. I was trying to trade Hanifin and Monahan any chance I had. $11M in cap space could've done wonders for this team.
This is on Treliving to fix now though. As good as he is using leverage to get deals done at really excellent cap hits, his toughest summer will be this up coming one when he has 4 of the team's top producers all needing new, expensive deals. Good luck to him.
In hindsight, he probably should've signed Mangipane to a longer term deal which is what I personally hoped he had done back in 2020 because this kid was as sure of a thing as it gets.
