For me, I think I’d be willing to burn futures if it can get us to great, but when the window has completely closed shut and it’s time to be bad, lets be really bad and get those McDavid’s and Matthew’s of the world.

The time to be bad is now.
The 2022 and 2023 drafts are the years this team should do a targeted tank-job. Those years have players worth targeting. I really hope it’s the route this organization takes. I’m tired of them languishing around 16th overall.
This team as it is today is not “good”, and doesn’t have the players to trade in order to improve today’s roster without completely crippling the future (and the future is already bleak). To me, the only actual path forward if this team wants to reach contender status is a rebuild. The timing is right. The asset base we have today is right. Just do it.
