No kidding. Complete disregard for any player on the team who is not in the veteran 6? Wolf, Parekh, Coronato, or any of the other several intriguing prospects hit then this team would easily be better in 2-3 years.
Where I somewhat agree with the take is I am not sure the current pieces are going to be enough to get this team further ahead than they are now. The flames are a treadmill team that doesn’t get too high or too low that often in the standings. Since the lockout they won the division 3x and picked in the top 10 4x. The rest of the time they were on one side of the bubble. People want to get off that treadmill and hopefully get to the top eventually but thinking/wanting the team to be really bad for 4-5 years to collect what they hope are the star players that will take the team to the promised land in another 10 or so years
