Stripping the team down to Tkachuk, Mangiapane (lol, what?), Lindholm, Andersson and Valimaki is basically a rebuild, man.
You're talking about not having any of the current top 4 d and half of the top 6...
That's what I mean by saying look at the blues. Put those players i listed above compared to the Flames and tell me that trading monahan, backlund, Giordano, rittich and gaudreau in a 2-3 year period isn't a rebuild... That's essentially a tear down of the entire core group and the attrition loss of most of the supporting players.
