I don't disagree with your fundamental point that it may take a while and some restarts before things get going. But what people are debating is whether we have the right pieces and management in place right now.

If being bad is what it takes to be in a rebuild, then FLames have been there for 20 years.
I'm sorry, you are suggesting they started their rebuild in 2007?

When they already had Toews, Keith, Seabrook, Byfuglien, Ladd, Hjalmarsson, Bolland, Bickell, Brouwer, Havlat and Sharp? (among others)

Their 17 year long rebuild ENDED in 2007 when they lucked into Kane.
