This team has big question marks on both sides of the defense, just like the 3 C and bottom end of the forward group.
A lot of these players have never played with a proper defensive system they have played under Willie and/or Travis' whatever you want to call it.
So, we have no idea if this group is even capable of adapting and playing under a better structure.
As fans, we know that everything can't be fixed in one off-season, so we need to fix a couple spots at a time and hope that they are better come the 22-23 season.
Although, I am fine if we are in the lottery for the next 2 more seasons, some great kids coming up in those 2 drafts.

Boils down to identifying where to start still. 1st 3 C imo is doable. Top 4 RHD will take some hard work. Fine with letting the LHD kids learn on the fly. Filling in the bottom 6 then follows. Next year more can be done when cap relief.

Pod is going to help the grit & in your face quotient.

This is an "if everything fails" take. JB stated they will make cap space to be bold this off season.

Sounds like Graovac is coming back and Travis Hamonic might be heading out. I think this post of yours is pretty accurate even if others have different opinions.

I just said a couple hours before I expect three substantial moves .

I don't know enough about the draft this year so other than Power and Eklund I have not seen anyone else play. I think the team will make the right decisions , so I will wait to see the moves.

As opposed to being a rover on the left ?

I thinkbit is best for the team,to reel his rover style in.

Ya, I am fine giving the 6 weeks, now 5ish weeks to get a handle on the direction this team is trying to go.
That timeframe covers the expansion and entry draft, as well as the buyout and early free agency periods.

Its not like I can do anything about it, other than sending another letter expressing my displeasure šŸ˜
