I’m just jealous of the timing of when they get to build it up from scratch.
I think Seattle will end up taking the patient route. There’s no way they don’t realize just how high end the top of the ‘22 and ‘23 drafts are.
That’s why drafting guys like Giordano will be important to them. Draft Gio, retain 50% and trade him elsewhere for a 1st round pick. I think we’ll see Seattle load up on players with small amounts of term left so that they can weaponize them as they build through the draft in their first few years with an eye on one or two of Wright/Bedard/Michkov.
