What is idiotic and naive is the notion that draft picks plus youf = success.
In a small way he is right... Draft picks + youth == sustained success.
SOS and the club has been tossing around the 66 game rebuild. I don't think that they see it the same way that Mal does... where we spend 3 years and 4 offseasons building up a core of young players, then taking another 2 years to develop them to the point where we start fighting for a top 8 spot.
I see the 66 game rebuild in two distinct areas that are running concurrently. Drafting and recruitment, led by SOS and training and development, led by Bolts. With all this going on at the same time, the core of guys we drafted, along with the guys we traded in who had a couple of years development under their belts already, from 2 years ago will make up the core of our ever expanding list of talented and experienced players... who mixed with a diminishing core of older experienced players will see us ready to start pushing for a finals berth or a spot just out of the top 8 in 2019.
Come the end of the trade and draft period next year, our rebuild will be over... guys like Weitering and Charlie Curnow will have 50-60 games worth of experience and that's going to be the start of the years of success for the club... and the trade and draft practices put into place by SOS will see us continue to grow and expand our list... and I can never see us needing to use top up players to fill holes in our list because we will have the continued stream of players through the club who will be able to step into the holes if any form.
