So doing things that way has got us 1 impact player because they drafted high and a bunch of maybes. A rebuild like that is going to take so long that by the time your picks and prospects are good, you're current young players aren't as good.
You won't improve your team that much or that fast doing things that way. Teams aren't going to gift you really good players because they like you, they're going to want good players back.

Who said a rebuild was fast? Sounds like you're trying to shortcut the rebuild, which doesn't necessarily work. Fan impatience doesn't really mean we should stray from our rebuilding plan.
Our best bet to improve immediately is probably UFA not through trade. Adding one of the premier UFAs this summer helps us more than trading players off our current roster for players because we'd get the asset for free and wouldn't be losing any of our depth.
