This. This. This.
This trade showed the core that management believes in them. Also, we were never out-tanking those bottom 5, they are pathetic. We were 1 lotto ball away from winning it all. Had we tanked, and lost Bédard to 11th place, what would the fanbase have said then?
if you’re not tanking for bottom 3, there’s no point. We got our guy, who fits a positional need at 11, and added a top pairing RHD to boot.
This is a very refreshing management group, they know what they’re doing.
