What outside candidate is going to come in to be saddled with “make the playoffs with Huberdeau and Kadri”? Nobody, unless they’re guaranteed the opportunity to rebuild the team after this inevitably fails.
This is a blessing. It’ll force the owners to look in the mirror.

It's possible to win given all that. Look at the Tampa Bay Rays. They have the worst ballpark in baseball, never want to spend money, nobody wants to go there, and they have perennially competitive teams.
They draft, develop, and constantly replace, without ever offering stupid contracts.
