A glacier is technically always moving. That doesn't mean it will ever win a race.Are you still complaining that Nyquist played like 10 games in the minors 2 years ago? That is your case for why Holland doesn't have a plan? Just try thinking it through. Just consider the value of depth and development. If you do these things it will become obvious. If you don't do these things nothing I say will make any difference.
Building a championship roster isn't something you just have forever to do. It needs to be a several facets, coalescing together WITHIN A SHORT WINDOW of opportunity.
Holland is currently on pace to build a team that's ready to contend...5 years after the Eurotwins retire. Which means over a decade of pointless mediocrity, with no greater chance of it "being worth it" than if they just, oh, I dunno, use the strategy that every team in sports history has used, admit when a run is over, and rip the band-aid off already.
