So their plan is to sign veterans to bridge the gap until their mediocre prospects are ready to break into dribble into the NHL.

That sounds like the Flames of 09/10.

Edit: Benning's attempt to parlay the Ducks pick plus other assets into Sam Reinhart would have been a bold move toward a rebuild, but you don't get more than a participation ribbon for bold moves that fail.
