So if Chicago's rebuild started in 2003, its interesting that Kane and Toews were not drafted until 2007 and 2006 respectively. If the Flames rebuild started in 2013, Gaudreau, Monahan and Brodie were already drafted.
Not trying to say these guys are equivalent at all, but does it mean we are further ahead than the Blackhawks were? Or are we losing out on a window because many of our core players will be on big $ contracts before we are a contender again.
I think it means we still need to find some core players in the draft.
