A rebuild that has a plan to have 25-30 picks in the first 3 rounds over a 5 year period takes time to show results. Despite doing a good job getting Suniev, Conroy was effectively first able to start accumulating these picks in the 2024 draft.
2024 - 6 picks
2025 - 4 picks
2026 - currently 5 picks
2027 - currently 5 picks
2028 - currently 3 picks.
Suspect he continues to accumulate picks and the total number for that period of time ends up north of 25 but less than 30. Conroy has never done anything to indicate there is any desire to be competitive when the new arena arrives and I doubt that will change either.
Folks can be mad about the plan but the plan seems pretty clear to me.

I agree with you...this is the plan.
When do we make the playoffs though? Missing this year puts us 4yrs out. We'll be looking at 7yrs+ out of the playoffs by the end, with no communication from management that we're in a rebuild.
Tough look. Pretty cool that you're reading between the lines and are a savvy fan that see's the end game I guess.
Anyway I'm happy we have lots of picks, that alleviates one of my frustration with this team over the years. They're also valuing those picks and developing them so we don't have to spend assets to get bottom 6 or pairing guys. Just need to add some top line talent now to the roster in the next few drafts.
AND we still have guys to ship out for picks.
Slow boat...but whatever.
