Im sure some wont either way, but we have heard this refrain every year....for most of the 41 years the club has been here.
The only time it came to reality was during the young gun nonsense (which is what is being advocated for once again ironically) and only for a few years at that.
Really though...you go rebuild right now and blow up the team. It means a new coach as well as DS sure isnt looking for that. They will be horrible for at least 5 years. That includes a move into a new building.
I just do not see that as a wise business move short ($$$ out to pay guys no longer here) nor long term. (move into the new barn)

They are already horrible.
Let's not kid ourselves, we're 8th worst. What the hell would they be afraid of?
Also, well managed teams don't have to be horrible for 5 years. Keep certain pieces, sell others. Draft high this year.
Like - if we're talking about trading Gaudreau and Giordano it's not going to crater this team. If we're talking about adding Monahan in there, it's also not cratering this team. They aren't team-making pieces, in fact one could make a good argument that the cap we spend on those players being freed up, mixed with the assets we'd return would make us a better team IF the cap-space is used properly.
