i don't think anyone is talking about sucking on purpose. I think the flames moves (other than bringing in hiller) can point to management using the "patient progress thru organic development" which at this stage can only point to a very minimal improvement in Wins this year compared to last. That points to another bottom 5 finish this year. It's not tanking it's the slow progression over the first few years of a rebuild before the kids can start taking on meaningful roles on the big club, and the GM having enough assets (prospects/picks) in the piggy bank to start trading those in for roster players.
