Yeah, if we're expecting to fill all the holes on this team with home-grown prospects, it's going to be a long rebuild. I hope most of our players come up through our system, if only because it's the cheapest way to build a team. But at some point we'll probably have to trade for a core piece. And that means being open to moving out assets like Backlund.
