We are unfortunately a few years away from starting the entire rebuild all over again before the current team even had a chance to properly rebuild which is extremely depressing.

define a "few" years. Cause when I hear a few, I think 3-4 and if you think they're going to blow this team up in 4 years, that might be your worst take ever.
Outside of Giordano and probably Backlund, in 4 years, there won't be a bunch of old past their prime players. Not to mention, a lot can happen in 4 years. This team could turn it around next season with a new coach. Look how things have changed so quickly for teams this year, good and/or bad. So much can change and so fast. The Preds were a 8 seed, made a run to finals and now are a cup contender in a 12 month span.
I just think it's ridiculously presumptuous to think a rebuild is coming soon, especially when the core of this team is still pretty damn young.
This isn't the 09-11 Flames teams with aging veterans past their prime.
