I was fairly optimistic heading into the season but I've seen enough now to pronounce this team dead. The problem is physical and mental. Unfortunately, blowing it up isn't a viable option since tanking would only help LA's draft position. I think the best solution short of that is to fire the coaching staff and bring in a coach that is geared toward a rebuild. Continue playing the old core (Mo, Lehts, Zubov, Turco), augmented by as much youth as you can possibly bring up from Iowa as an extended tryout. That should still be good enough for roughly a .500 team. Deal the core right at the deadline, throwing sentiment out the window, and recoup as many picks as possible.
