Most already know my position.

I'm not about to suggest we tank, because that would create a bad culture, and I'm glad we're playing a fairly entertaining brand of hockey. That said, we need to finish bottom-10 this year and next to grab some elite talent at the only position we are lacking in- center.

We can keep on going with the objective of squeaking into the playoffs year after year, so Edwards can collect on his 2-3 games worth of playoff revenue. Maybe we get lucky, and make it to the second round just to watch the team get destroyed. I would prefer to suffer for a few years in order to have a shot at a contender. Especially with the new arena coming, and Cale Makar coming home soon (joke-kinda).
