Deciding as to when a rebuild is finished is always going to be somewhat arbitrary—you pointed this out with my own opinion on the topic. But your's is spectacularly so because the differences between the numbers in your datasets are so fractionally small as to be practically negligible.
Yeah, but that's trying to find technicalities. We're far, far away from technicalities. Good teams beat most of those criteria at a reliable rate. Bad teams fail to meet most of those criteria by pretty big margins. We are:

47.2% CF
48% FF
29th ranked PP

We're far away in all three and goaltending won't fix any of them.

If your example B is a team that's just below the threshold of not being rebuilding anymore then it's easier to say "add one impact player and the rebuild is officially over". We're not one player away.
