It's hilarious the way the author crunches the numbers to prove the Oilers aren't a failed rebuild.
Rebuilding is a strategy of moving out depreciating assets and moving in appreciating assets. It's where you make decisions based on their likely outcome 3+ years in the future, rather than over the next two seasons.
Picking high in the draft is often a consequence of rebuilding; it isn't the actual point of rebuilding. You can rebuild without drafting top-five, and you can draft top-five without rebuilding.
