As much as people want to pretend otherwise and just lump it in with some “mushy middle” nonsense of constant minor tweaks, this approach is actually pretty new. I’m pretty interested to see it play out, honestly, and I think it’d be pretty foolish to write it off before seeing how things play out.
Dallas is currently a team that has built a contender without tanking

They had one lowly year and lucked out by winning the lottery and jumping up to grab Heiskenen but the rest of their roster is built through very good drafting, some solid trades and the odd smart UFA signing.

But in order to do this you have to get Robertson's, Hintz's and the like later in the draft, instead of Stromgrens and Kuznetsov's
