Look at how the team fell apart when down one extra defensemen for stretches. You exit one more defensemen and one more forward pre christmas this year and we'd be using our top 10 pick. That would have been a real "took a shot at it". Instead, they pretty much did what they always do, tried to fill the roster with some underperforming vets, made a trade for mid roster players, and played on. Clearly, they're still not allowed to say "that R word".
Not building the franchise properly now just means we will have to do it later. And the Wolf's too good to let it happen later crowd need only go look at John Gibson for a test case.

In what way did they do this?
They signed Mantha as a buy low and flip candidate, but apart from that how did they try to fill out the roster with vets?
