It's clearly a rebuild trade. As a result, they will be icing a younger team. Hell, it would have been a rebuild trade even if they only got a 2nd round pick back. They've handed the netminding duties to a younger guy in Lack, acquired a goaltending prospect (whether you think he'll pan out or not), and acquired a solid 3C who's still well on the right side of 30.
In exchange they gave up an asset who only has value to an organization that thinks it's going to win anything in the next 3-4 years.
That is the definition of a rebuilding trade.
