Depends what you consider success. Certainly winning a cup is a worthy goal, but there are lots of rebuilds that would be considered successful in and of themselves. Take Toronto for example. I consider that team rebuilt. They are realistically into a contention window. If they don't win a cup, whether through bad breaks or even bad execution or just having to play in a division with two of the all-time great post-lockout teams, can the rebuild be considered faulty?
By the same logic, what would be the minimum threshold for defining success? I honestly don't know, but it can't be cup or bust.
