Don't do a rebuild mid-season, wait until the trade deadline when you can maximize returns.
No rebuild moves at trade deadline.
Wait until the draft, that's when we'll really be able to maximize returns and get some draft-day steals.
No rebuild moves at draft.
Wait until free agency, then we'll have a better idea or needs, and we can take a run at some hot young free agents.
No rebuild moves during free agency beyond a couple second-tier 27+ players.
We have exciting new additions to the team, so let's not make any rebuild moves until we get a handle on how the team gels.
Repeat... repeat... repeat.
We've see this story for years. For some fans, there will never be a good time to take a chance and take a new strategy because success is just around the corner. It's the Maple Leafs Nation approach to NHL strategy. All it requires is infinite optimism.
