I agree with the he point stated but at the time do you honestly think management thought this was a playoff team? Dating back to last years draft....I would say no. They believed it was a team on the rise/going the right direction but not a playoff team. Am I happy the way things are going...yes but adding another top prospect to the core at the time would've been amazing.
