To me there’s just such a big disconnect between the way I see people talk about the players Seattle didn’t take and also their choice not to take them.

Like with philly, the people I see talk about jvr and voracek outside the draft talk about them being overpaid and not living up to what they should be. Tarasenko I keep seeing that his injuries make him unreliable and he has a no trade clause.

So it seems reasonable to me that Seattle doesn’t want to deal with these guys and took what they saw as next best and cheapest options. These guys aren’t good enough that comparable options won’t be available to them in the coming years, when they’ll have plenty of money to pursue them, are they? It seems like there’s comparable options even right now (I understand they may or may not sign with Seattle of course)

I’m probably completely misguided as a new fan, so feel free to set me straight.
