Huh?? We've never had a top 3 pick because this team refuses to tank. That's likely ownership mandated. I agree with the poster you quoted. Tre is a scapegoat for now but whoever we bring in is not going to do things any differently.
If Tre is fired, it will be because he failed to make the playoffs. The next GM that gets brought on is going to be asked to "retool" on the fly and get us back in the playoffs asap. That likely means more picks out the door for quick fixes.
If this team is going to go full rebuild and get a shot at Bedard/Michkov, there needs to be an organizational shift in philosophy that starts with ownership. And if ownership is willing to make that shift, I actually don't mind having Tre guide us through it, since his strengths are supposedly drafting and RFA contracts.
