That means Andersson, Coleman, etc all need to go. Keep Huberdeau to hit cap floor and as a good mentor. Same with Weegs because he’s wicked.

Not directed specifically at you Mr. Coffee, but when we talk about wanting to scorched earth re-build around here, we all need to stop asserting the strategy is to "go after McKenna, or even go after 1st overall". That is not a strategy, that is a hope and a prayer. The team has zero control over whether they get that 1st overall pick, and it isn't even close to the mostly likely outcome, no matter how bad we might be.
The scorched earth supporters need to be comfortable with that strategy, assuming we won't get Mckenna, and be comfortable that this is the right strategy assuming we never get that first overall pick, and that we can build effectively from simply being in the top 5 (which btw, I'm not saying isn't a good strategy).
