I hope McCloughan lets the market set itself over the first couple weeks, but then pays the freight necessary to avoid being left with gaping holes at some of these key spots.

It's a fine line to walk but he's got to do it. We have some glaring needs.

This. We don't need or have the room for day 1 free agents. But we have too many holes to fill through the draft. A couple trades or mid-level signings have to be done.
