Description

Assuming Hawk's injury gets repaired this offseason and he returns to how he was playing for the majority of the regular season, and that Nils starts to figure it out, I think a few smaller additions to the defense can have huge impacts next season.

Bringing back Daddy because of the chemistry he found with Wyatt and Benn. He'll be much more affordable than Domi. Also think Donato would be a great fit with this lineup as a depth scoring piece.

Only other move I think might be good is to move Faksa for added cap flexibility and would allow Mavrik Bourque to come up. Could potentially package Faksa and Hawk and/or Miller at the trade deadline for a good Defense rental.
