Plenty of interesting UFA options aged 25-30. I don't see why you don't try for those types of players who are still potentially getting better and can help for a few years.

I don't understand why rebuild has to mean sucking for five years. The Flyers had one disastrous season, stockpiled assets, signed some not over the hill UFA's, and got better the next year.
