Boom or bust. People want out of the soft and gooey middle - one way or the other this does that I think.

Well we either need a proper 1C or a proper rebuild IMO, which is why I would do it.
Either way, the team will be shaken out of this mediocre no man's land they've been drifting through since the 00s, outside of that 2nd overall season that looks more and more like a freak aberration.
I wish we would go all in on meaningful pieces or sell of completely and load up on multiple 1sts, etc like Ottawa did. I am quite sick of *just* being good enough, but not good enough to compete.
