Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

Fair enough. It’s probably the asset management part of it all that I’m most upset when it comes to “development.”
Yes, we have traded away nearly every young piece to date in favor of “established stars.”
AD panned out(mostly).
Westbrick deal set us back at least five years.
We all have outlined how the Caruso blunder and even to a lesser extend, the Goodwin one have costs us dearly.
My overall point is that Rob/Jeanie have been excellent at the top end stuff, but missed severely on the lower end stuff which equates to not enough depth.
We know that the roster has been unbalanced since the Luka trade, but better asset management before this trade would have given us more options to add the right pieces. This has lead us to the point of every summer becoming “Rob better hit it out of the park this summer or we won’t have enough” over and over again.
Anyway, I’m happy we are finally adding more additions to the FO because it’s been long overdue.
It’s still going to take several more seasons to be able to create a deep team around Luka and AR.
