Yeah, that's what YOU want to do. You have no skin in the game. You're a fan on a prospects board, we get excited about that stuff here.
Guys who do this for a living, have finite careers, and hate to lose don't exactly want to hear "you guys are on your own. We're going to keep sucking so we can get a guy who will have a real impact in 3-5 years."
I'd say stay the course as well if there wasn't so much messaging from both players (and yes, Hughes) on not wanting to keep losing, or that they hate losing, at the end of this season. It was a common theme, the reason a lot of us thought we were in on guys like Necas and Zegras (and probably why Hughes offered a contract to JM as well). It's great vibes in the room right now because everyone's fresh, young, and hungry. Too much losing after a while extinguishes that really quick.
