The team is cursed this year so it is time to embrace this will be a bad year and sell off some assets and try and pick as high as possible. If done right we could be looking back at 2023 as a criticality important year in franchise history.
Playoffs require an improbable run but picking top 10 looks possible and I think adding a potential future cornerstone is appealing. If there is a down year to have this could be it.
This team is over the cap or close to it next year so likely need to shed salary. Why not do that now so you can get the assets in hand and potentially increase the chances of getting into the Bedard lottery? I am ready to punt on this season even though I do feel if this team started to get their mojo together could be a threat.
