Do you make big moves in the offseason to load up again? Say the pick is 8-10 just wondering where you think they'll be next year. I'm sure it's at least a little consideration, but with this core should realistically contend for a WC spot next year I'd think.

The core didn't compete for a wild card this season, why would they be better next year?

That's what I'm kinda saying, if they don't make a couple of mid-major adds it might make sense to give this years pick in the top 10 as opposed to next years.

That's a hard call to make, they're potentially going to be worse next year. Think I'd rather give up a mid first this year then a top 10 next year.
