Nothing good can come from hanging on to 6 UFAs, half of which you won't be able to retain

You're more of a laughing stock for standing pat than ripping off the band aid. This is assuming fair offers have been fielded
Hindsight is 20/20, it just hasn't worked out this year. A lot of people loved what he did this summer, including me. They looked like legit contenders. And trading for guys a year away from UFA and not signing them is not a good idea. If ownership wants to be competitive and not rebuild then his hands are tied. I'm sure there will be moves in the summer, maybe a lot of them.
