I'm against signing known mediocre talent (Warrick and Delfino, I would include Ukic, but he has a while to go before he could be considered mediocre.) My plan the whole time has been clear out as many big contracts as you can and play young players. If you suck, great. Add another high pick and young player to your core. If you win, even better. That means you already have a good, young team with room for future growth beyond that.
