Also. I know there is no 3C. I'd like to see Holloway there when he is back.

Saving 1sts and winning a cup are disparate objectives.
You either save assets and throw away the season, or you spend assets to fix it. The worst thing you can do is spend assets and still fail to make the playoffs.

Hawks may go for it, if they have trades set for Ceci and Broberg

I think it's a balance of both. Any reasonable person can see, this team isn't making it this year. But at the same time, you have to relatively spend assets to clear some room for next year. These deals clear a lot of cap for next year and have Allen as a security blanket at good AAV if they want to make a bigger move surrounding Skinner (ex: Gibson) this off-season.
