I got all of that, thanks.
Where we are not on the same page, apparently, is that while HuGo, like everyone else is gonna grab whatever 'maybe' opportunities fall into Mon's lap [be they productive or not], I expect him/them to deal at some pt from such huge depth for F help.
That will accelerate opening the window.
If you don't do that and literally go w/holding all D, If you can draft Fs as well as D, you will catch up in a couple of years and your scenario = success.
But that is a risky strategy.
What Fs are available at draft; time to develop; success v disappointment/bust.
Also, there is also risk/reward to consider.
We don't know if Mal will be <, >, or = to Ras Andy.
You would be getting a known commodity.
Again, I agree Mon like any other club should milk its D advantage.
We appear to disagree on whether dealing surplus for need makes sense.
