I vote for the rebuild strategy. I think Treliving has found out that Calgary jsut isn't a place where top players want to come to when they have a choice, and that it's hindered his ability to improve the team. Even when he can get a good deal, other things kill the deal on him. The only strategy is to get home grown players and build the team that way, and even that is very hard to do with the new structure of RFA deals. We have some good guys in Lucic, Backland, and Giordano who can mentor young guys, and easily allow a rebuilding team to hit the cap floor. But I think it needs a 5 year plan to essentially turn over the entire core to a group of new leaders. Maybe some guys like Anderson, Valimaki, Dube, and Mangiapane are still around at that time as your new long time supplemental veterans, but everyone else get's sold off when it's time for whatever you can get.
