in terms of salary cap pressure, if the hawks are not feeling the pinch after 3-peating then they never will! i cant see how we would be in the market for a high profile/expensive recruit with the list we have and the success they have achieved. as a collective the playing list deserve to receive the maximum pay possible under the salary cap, not only for 2015 but also in the allocation of it for 2016 - there should be no room for anyone else. the results this list has achieved dictate that and it is thoroughly deserving. as such, the hawks wouldn't be in the position for any 'big' recruits until the current big names start to retire (hodge, burgoyne, mitchell, etc). the game they would be strategising now would be to optimise our draft position over the next 1-2 years i would have thought. it will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
