Knowing now what we do, the second option would have been the better choice. You guys seem to have a stronger core of returnees for next year than we did this year as well, so I would stick with the program. You guys are getting 2 of the top players in the league back, and could easily get hot and finish in the middle of the pack with the way things are right now. I would think that maybe a tender, say Rowat or Jung, and you could make some noise.
