If they bring up some wranglers and play loose they might be better than they are now all depressed and waiting for the shoe to drop. The tank might be more secure with the current group
I think you have to space them out. Too much to sort on/leading up to deadline, and you can’t risk your leverage position.

Tanev and Z in advance, Hanifin early if you get your socks blown off, but otherwise having the two biggest UFA prizes on deadline is a good hand to play.
