I'm absolutely down for a rebuild.

Optimism abounded after Peter's first regular season...then the Avs torched Calgary and its been a downward spiral ever since.

Of the veterans like Monahan, Gaudreau, Gio, they have been in decline since...it might be a slow decline in Johnny's and Gio's case, but I feel that the trend line is down and not up.

Just feels like Groundhog Day with this franchise all the time.

While I have no idea whether rebuilding is going to work, I don't see a lot of hope for this team to do anything other than what they have been doing, which is fighting for position in the 10, 9, 8, 7 spots in the conference and getting eliminated in the first round.
