Some basic progression would have us in the middle of the team's missing the dance this year.. Do we make / not make moves that have negative long term outcome to try to do it this year?

I think it would be because the bottom three prediction last year was proven to be a very poor one. Given how the season played out, you need to readjust expectations to better reflect what happened, which was a team that qualified for the playoffs and pushed into the second round. They added a top pairing defenceman, a top 6 veteran forward and a full season of a 4th overall draft pick.
