We could have a much better team and get a worse draw or just have a bad matchup/clunker in the tournament. It’s a crapshoot.
But all the usual suspects are gearing up to be able to say they told us so when that happens, since they can’t bitch about “second weekend Brad” anymore. Previous Message
there's an element of this that I'm just excited to watch these particular kids play, and to look forward to it
Like if you gave me the option to swap out our entire roster for a new roster of kids that was in theory 10% "better" - I don't think I'd take that trade Previous Message
If we just stay in the same place that’s still a top 5 team.
The angst that we didn’t get Blackwell and therefore won’t be preseason #1 is outrageous.

Losing Wagler is a huge deal. Vaaks, who hasn't signed yet BTW, is good but a step down from Keaton. Coleman is possibly better than Bam on offense but a step down defensively. I think Andrej, Jake, and the Brothers Ivisic are who they are at this point. Mirk could make a leap for sure, but I'm not sold that next year's team is much better than this last season's.
