That is why the organization has to go get Hall if he is interested in signing here.

Which is why a good team in this situation would build through the draft and not fire off picks like bottle rockets at every opportunity.
Agreed on Hall - if there’s a chance we can get him, we have to.
All this failure is made so much worse because we mortgaged the future just to build ourselves right back into a fringe playoff team with no hope. All those picks spent in trades for utterly irrelevant players when you would have been better off just spending money on bargain UFA contracts. !@#$.
