I am curious if the owners are willing to invest now, rebuild and use deep pockets to maximize asset returns by Taking on salary (Ie. Retaining salary, collecting picks as the byproduct of taking on a bad contract, etc).
Then I wake up. This management team doesn't cars to win the cup. They just need to make the playoffs. Being mediocre is sufficient given that half the teams make the post season.

The only reason I think they would consider a rebuild is to try and slash salary and do a little tank until the new building is done. That would mean no retaining on trades and just trying to clear the cap sheet
