Yeah I just went and looked. She did say she had no inside knowledge or anything, just that her contract hasn’t been renewed…
Becky’s contract hasn’t been renewed yet either but I can’t imagine she’s retiring…nor could I imagine not re-signing her if she still wants to play. That would be actually insane.

There are still a ton of players who are out of contract at the end of the season: Kling, Becky, Bella, Hubly, Provenzano, Asman, Hirst, McKenzie, Sheva, Kozal. I do imagine we part ways with some or many of these but not all of ‘em. I imagine KK should still be doing a lot of this work now, until the end of the season when she’s out. Otherwise, the new GM is gonna have a hell of an off-season to get through. Tons of new contracts, lots of dead weight, a retirement, and definite need to upgrade the roster with several elite players needed, as well as good depth. Hopefully Karina is making that job a little easier by doing some of the re-signing/housekeeping work now!
My guess is that this offseason is going to be pretty chaotic. Unless the squad runs the playoff table I have to think it’s getting a new gaffer. We know they’re getting a new GM. I’m guessing there’s already some roster moves planned.
So I’ll bet there’s going to be more than the usual interval w no signings news. FO might do handshake deals rather than commit new GM/HC to contracts they might want to negate before next season..?
So I might not want to read TOO much into the immediate lack of renewals/offers. Could be something…but also might not.
