Actual Thought*

So a guaranteed third round exit or a guaranteed first round exit? I will take the first round exit and draft the better player.
We gonna start raising banners for third round exits too? Gonna get awful crowded up there with all those 1st round exit banners.
However i don't see this as rebuilding. You don't rebuild while giving away draft picks. It's an oxymoron. You aren't rebuilding when you only target veterans that you think will get this team over the hump. What Holland has been doing these past three years is acting like the Wings were contenders, when in reality they were just pretenders.
I have no issue tanking. It's comical that people have some kind of elitist attitude against it. It's how 99.99% of pro sports works. Deal with it.
Tanking is what you do when you are too incompetent to do anything else. I don't support incompetent business. That is like saying I am going to buy a car I know will be a lemon because I hope the car company will someday get lucky and produce a car that is quality. I would not support a franchise that sucks on purpose hoping to hit the lottery. I don't like losers.
