If you can list an example of failed rosters that retooled themselves into a cup team by all means go ahead and list them but retooling to me is akin to spinning the wheels of mediocrity.

They are going to have to dump our top end guys and pay for free agents to get top end players is my guess. You are right that it’s doubtful we will find 1 to 1 trades to upgrade our top end forwards.
So we’ll probably get older and more expensive in the short term. We don’t have any young players in the hopper from what I see.
But our top end forwards are pretty much doing nothing for a lot of money. I’m not sure it could get worse. It would at least be the same.
