I'd take Patrice Bergeron over Ilya Kovalchuk to start the rebuild. I'm not suggesting any of these players in question are like these 2 were at that age as I haven't sen them play...I'm simply arguing against the basic premise of your point. It seems there are many NHL GMs that would agree with you though, as players like Kovalchuk tend to be paid more.
