The Flyers did that to a certain degree with their 2010 team. I would certainly give them credit for not just assuming their team was going to stay great, instead moving high priced guys out for very good young players.

I'm not saying they should have rebuilt, because I believe no team goes through a full scale rebuild until they have absolutely no choice. I am just saying the beginnings are not as similar as some like to think.
