Conventional wisdom dictates that, when working to improve a team, the most important thing is to shore up problem areas.
This is not that plan.
Rather than turning a D into a C, it is more impactful to turn A areas into A+'s. The Warriors and Rockets didn't add defense, they added more shooting. And the Memphis Grizzlies have doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on their Grit and Grind identity.
Guided by this principle, the Yellowknife Wraiths, a team featuring the league's leading rusher and receivers, elect to add to their incredible stable of offensive playmakers, trading a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick in addition to strong safety Alex Hansen to the San Jose Sabercats for WR Bailey Cook.
Cook is the NSFL's third-leading receiver, occupying the top spot for much of the season, and one of the best players regardless of position. Pairing Bailey with elite wideout Josh Garden and running back Bubba Nuck would truly maximize the offense. On the other hand, the SaberCats would accelerate their rebuild with the haul of draft picks and shore up their league-worst defense with the addition of Hansen.
There are concerns about separating LB AC Hackett and Bailey as the two are something of a package deal, but with Hackett only having a year remaining on his contract acquiring him would be rather simple.
