Management needs to be prudent and not work off best case scenarios. That was one of my main issues with the Treliving era.

The majority of experts had them as the best team, starting last season. And had Seattle as probably 7th. But you have to actually play the games.
It will be an almost identical roster to last year, except a little younger and faster. They could finish anywhere from 1st to 5th. But stating that they are a bubble team, like it's fact, simply because that is where they finished last year, is pretty silly.
And if the bolded happens, they will compete for the division crown
