We have the parts to retool and build a young core to develop around. Ownership won't just let this happen though, so it'll have to be forced on us by players saying they won't sign here (as sad as I am to see them go).
We're never going to win if we throw big money and long term at aging players like Lindholm and Hanifin even if they did want to re-sign here.

Agreed. I think Lindy and Backs should be gone at the Entry Draft.
Backs and Lindholm signalling the way they are...the only key one left for me is Noah. If Hanifin has similar thoughts, this era is fully over.
