I would rather we not tank intentionally. But if the team isn't great, don't prop them up with signing veterans. This is what Conroy has done IMO.
But a player like Rasmus is an inflection point. Do you re-sign if he is willing or focus on getting younger? Probably better to look 3 or 4 years down the road and get some assets for him while also keeping as much powder dry as possible. You can throw some money at your younger players and would give you more wiggle room if one of those contracts doesn't work out.
