Way I see it, we get a top 5-10 pick this year. Hopefully get another 1st rounder at the TDL. Spend two firsts and two seconds all on centers.

Then they start filling in holes with cap space next year.
Say one of those players turns into your franchise centerpiece, there's still so much more work to be done. That's why building it back up after one more draft would be shortsighted. We probably need 2-3 more drafts with lottery picks and excess draft capital to properly stock the roster with upper echelon talent. And even after that, I hope they hang on to picks much more tightly than past front office regimes.
