You're not the only one.
Everyone should understand that if you do this right, the carnage is only for 1yr, this year. Everything else gets better, because you have a player that is going to be "the man" for a decade before he wants $15m/yr and we trade him and start over again.
This was the 1yr we could just go completely Pejorative Slur, get top 2 selection and claim the prize to respectability, but more importantly, a true "Superstar" to go chase a cup in less than 3 years.
I'm sorry, but we won't be chasing a cup in 3 years with Strome, Marner or the guy we will be picking Hanifin.
