That being said, I think the owners will want this team to stay competitive, as they will want to sell as many tickets as possible when fans are allowed back in the stadium. They are most likely losing money right now and will want to recoup that money through ticket sales. Trading away their mareketable stars would have the opposite effect on ticket sales.

As much as I think a rebuild is the right way to go to get this team to be a Cup contender, going into a rebuild right now doesn't make financial sense for this team right now.
Odds are there won't be many fans in the stands next season because of what's going on in the world. If they have to play with no or even very little fans, its the perfect time to make a change. Shedding a couple big contracts would save money too.
