Either way, there's some pretty wishful thinking in these changes. I doubt key trades imagined here are possibilities.

Retool is going after existing players on existing contracts, hoping to remain competitive. A rebuild would be trading players away for draft picks and prospects looking for critical mass at a future date.
You have to recognize that other organizations are going to be wanting to make changes as well. Nashville is a team that I believe will be looking to make changes. Florida is a team that is having change forced upon them. You have to recognize the underlying dynamics of teams wanting to make changes and take advantage of that. This off season is going to one of the most interesting ones in a very long time, because there will be so many teams that are going to be facing change. I expect a lot of bodies to change teams this off season for a plethora of reasons, so timing for the Flames may be right to retool. Otherwise, burn it to the ground and rebuild. If this draft is as good as people say (I hate magic beans) this is the draft to move a bunch of players for picks and get the rebuild rolling with sincerity.
