Man that sure feels like some lipstick on the same bloated dead pig to me.
Mushy middle is the mushy middle no matter how they get there.
The entire point of not being in the mushy middle is to draft a top 5 talent and build around that, can't achieve the ideal retool or rebuild without that part of the plan.
Lots of runway left in the season to see where this roster metes out, but it's looking super mushy. And that's not a good thing, even if theyre going at it from the other end of the build perspective.

It might not be a good thing but the team got there doing the exact thing people were endlessly clamouring for and, despite repeated warnings that they couldn’t just will themselves into the bottom five and if players like Wolf hit their potential it’d be near impossible… those same people are somehow acting surprised and dismayed they’re where they are.
Ideals are just ideals. Reality is what we have to work with. And unless people want to ship out guys like Wolf, Zary, and Coronato, this is reality.
I think people who believe losing Andersson is going to single handled drop up a bunch are in for disappointment as well. We shipped off Hanifin and Tanev and it hasn’t made much of a difference.
