How many years can we be on top?

too many free agents to keep this same team in tact.....but in another year we will have built another good team and we will have the pieces in place long term for a team that is ready to compete for years

Maybe ... but many FA will want to play for SP and Breesus now ... As long as Breesus remains uninjured and maintains his level of play, we should be in the hunt for the next 5-6 years maybe?

But thats misleading since we really only have 2 or 3 UFA's of significance to resign.

Almost every "significant" player will be back next year.

the thing is that even tho we only have a few UFAs......we have a ton of RFAs and we arent going to re-sign them all

im hoping we can keep the core of this team in tact but thats far easier to say than it is to do

having a good solid draft will be crucial to our success next season and the development of our draft picks from last season may prove to be of even greater importance
