It would be counterintuitive to the idea of this year you're supposed to be productive and you want to turn this wagon around.
And Nize is going to help you to do that.
But if you, any time you think you can get a true bonafide number one defenseman for a winger.
You're looking into doing that seriously.
I'm just saying, I actually don't think that... I just think that that's a smart play in a vacuum.
Let me give you an NFL example.
The Packers are an example.
They drafted Jordan Love.
They had Aaron Rodgers.
They were in win-now mode.
And they said, this is a guy who's going to... That's our quarterback in the future, and we can get him now.
And he sat on the bench for three years, and Rodgers won back-to-back MVPs, and they went to the playoffs, and they're competitive.
You know how happy they are that they made that decision back then?
They're ecstatic.
And what I'm saying is, because people write me in now saying, well, that would mean it's a rebuild.
No, it's not.
