I know people are going to disagree with this. And I know there's almost 0 chance we do it this offseason. What the team does and what I think we should do are 2 different things though. Completely fine if people disagree. But I think this team is cooked I think. This years team is done and I think it would take extremely significant change to make it into a contender for next year. And even if we did and made multiple huge trades/signings our chances would still be low, especially with Sully at coach imo. Great coach, but it's beyond his expiration date. We'll likely have a new GM as well and so it will be a good transition point. I know people are saying no rebuild until the core retires. But they could all potentially play 5-6 more seasons and I just don't see any way we contend that entire time. I think we likely miss playoffs this year and potentially are near bottom of standings next year. Anyways, here's what I would do this offseason.
