I don't read those posts as saying that. There's a time to fill the gaps with free agents, but I don't think anyone is arguing that that time is now. I do think Goriders is wrong in assuming that the team will more or less steadily improve from here on out. They have lots of good depth pieces but no gamebreakers so far except Wolf and possibly Parekh.

The gaps on this team cannot be filled via free agency or a single trade. It will take some suffering and people need to accept it. This isn’t a good team. It’s being propped up by goaltending and loser points.

That's true. But since it is being propped up, bottom 3 this season is pretty much out of reach and we don't need to waste energy worrying about it. Next season I foresee a younger and less experienced roster losing more games, and not starting the schedule 4-0-1.
