I went for Rebuild, but not sure there is really a big difference. That may depend more on who is in the GM's chair and the Coach's spot behind the bench. It's possible that a retool, with a few "well chosen" trades, but backed by a smart GM and a track-record-of-accomplishments-coach could turn this team around. I'm not convinced, though that is true. Maybe just a pipe dream.
So maybe rebuild - which STILL has to involve the GM and Coach; dump the rot and plugs, and build a good team of hard-working guys. Some talent to lead the charge, but the work effort needs to be #1 every single night. That IS how good teams win. They don't need to rely just on a couple of guys ("cough" Edmonton), but seek a few excellent players and provide them with dedicated supporters. THAT might take a full-scale house-cleaning of a a pretty major variety. There's probably 5-8 guys to keep, and the rest can remain golfing.
