Nope, it's time for them to find the straightest line between current state a desired state. Maybe that ends up being what you described, but I am open to anything if it works.
It's not not black and white. You seem to only recognize a binary set of choices in your posts. Old guys at the expense of youth or a full 5 year rebuild. Maybe there is something in-between like like building around some youth and also some 4-5 year NHL vets. There are probably lots of ways to do this that civilians like us can't conceive of.
And that is coming from someone that fully enjoys the rebuild and watching the kids.
I don't think Burke would talk about accelerating the build unless he had a pretty clear plan. My guess is that he presented this to ownership just prior to firing Feaster.
