Go out to market, trade your first round picks, pay a FA a kings ransom for some down to earth, decent talent player with leadership skills and make them the captain!!!!! Trade away upcoming FAs if needed - you are doomed without the leadership of a vet to groom the younger players.

Do you really want more Taylor Hall's????????
Unfortunately that paper was based on draft pick currency, and that draft pick currency was spent on nepotism and groupthink. As a result, their "on paper" currency has devalued to the level of a 3rd world country.
