Is it so hard to believe they will play at the pace they did for those 96 games? The team is essentially unchanged for last season

Maybe those first 20 games were the outlier not last season.

Personally I don’t think this is a good team . But I didn’t think they were good last year either and they kept winning .

80% of this board though this team would just miss the playoffs or make before the season, and nothing has changed roster wise nor serious injury wise

That’s why I think it’s important to really lean into the bad start . I also worry Coleman and / or Kadri will fall off due to their age sooner then later and prefer not to risk it to try and get a slightly better offer .

If there’s no real offered for them - well then the market has spoken. But holding out for an extra 3rd rounder in those deals seems like a bad risk / reward situation with the potential negative situations that could occur .
If the delta was an extra 3rd, Andersson would be long gone.
