Except that all the past cup winners in the past decade got to being good through being awful. It's not a wish. It's just facts. This team doesn't get elite talent off FA.. it has to get it through the draft and drafting high increases the chance about getting elite talent.

That's facts. Even if you wished it wasn't

So simple and yet so easily set aside on this forum. Only way to get overcome middling draft slots is to own the best drafting contingent in the league plus a lot of luck, and we don’t have either.
