I would let it be known that I'm returning on a 5 year extension as President of Hockey OPS and GM.

I would conduct the end of season interviews this week/weekend. Then re-interview everyone the last week of April when the emotions should've cooled down. After that, I'd have someone write up the interviews removing any personal identifiers and listing everything as PlayerA - PlayerZ, ManagementA - ManagemenZ, Coachingstaff A - Coaching StaffZ.

Based on those reports I would determine whether to continue with the status quo, or whether significant organizational surgery was needed. I approach the 6 upcoming 2024 UFA's of what their future desires are, IF they don't have an intention of resigning, that would dictate my plans for the upcoming draft and off-season. I would embrace a coaching change and roster recalibration if that was the case.
