Just make sure to keep tanking and avoid trying to make a good trade for a decent young centre that fits your age group?
That’s gonna solidify a lot of confidence and sell lotsa tickets

Who gives a #%^* if it fits your age group of your mediocre team?
If you acquire a decent young centre who improves your team right now, it hurts your ability to actually draft the centre that would drive the success of a top team.
Sequencing is massively important. Acquiring a middle six centre is a pretty achievable goal every season for any team. Acquiring a top line centre capable of carrying a team? Well, there’s been…two of those traded in the last quarter century (Thornton and Eichel)?
If you acquire that middle six centre before you draft your #1 centre, well…you’ve kinda screwed yourself.
Are we talking about selling tickets, or winning a Championship?
