Sort of skimmed through the thread, and the most reasonable way of determining when the rebuild is over seems to be a combination of when core pieces are hitting their 'prime' and when highly paid non-core pieces are coming off the books.
That would seem to indicate that the rebuild is over after next season. I would also venture that 'rebuild over' is actually not the best phrasing and a better descriptor may be 'when the team has an opportunity of becoming a serious playoff threat, yearly'.
What consists of our core also may change with circumstance. Winning the Edmonton Sweepstakes and landing Matthews dramatically changes trading options going forward. Also, leaping like a puma on other teams cap difficulties (ect), as like happened with Hamilton also accelerated our timeline significantly.
I'd still stand by year after next.
