My take on rebuilding is there is "no such thing"
Seriously, what is "rebuilding"?
Take your pick
1) Florida,NYI,,etc. multiple top picks and they still suck
2) Pittsburgh, suck so bad for years that you almost loose your team. get lucky in getting 2 generation talents,win a cup but because of the cap and because of those contracts you can't build another winner.
3) Chicago (see number 2)
4) Edmonton, disaster waiting to happen, by the time this team starts to win the cap will tear all those #1's apart.(this team is the perfect example that it takes more than offensive talent to win)
Fact is under a cap system dynasty's are a thing of the distant past so why bother "rebuilding" and piss off the fans? I for one wouldn't pay a cent to go watch a last place team, I pay my extra $$ for entertainment, support is one thing but paying $300.00 a game to watch a team get a good draft pick is borderline ######ation!
Retool, try to stay competive for the fans and hope for a good run. (examples... LA from last year, Boston, Detroit, Anahelm and Carolina since the cap system)
