I’d consider trading for a guy like Tkachuk a rebuild-esque move as well given how young he is.
I don’t doubt that their owners want to win now, and I think they have for a while, but trading a guy of Eichel’s calibre will alter the course of their franchise. To me it signifies the start of a rebuild. I don’t think they really have any other choice.

I’ve seen no reports like that. Every report I’ve seen mentioned picks or prospects only as in addition to a front line player.
Like I say, they should be in total rebuild mode because none of their guys after Eichel are cutting it.
