Let me cherry pick the last sentence of your first paragraph. For the first time in a long time, our organization is not about next year.

I get the feeling it is about building a team that has the depth to compete year in and year out.

The success that SF enjoyed because of the new GM didn't occur immediately. They endured several bad losing seasons while building not buying talent and depth. When he left them for Seattle, SF was big, talented, and had great depth. They barely missed a beat due to injuries.

We need to be one of those organizations. The new GM's philosophy prioritizes long term success rather than instant gratification. I love this move by our FO.
