Typically it's not the team that decides to trigger a rebuild out of the blue, but the results on the ice that that dictate things such as roster turnover and drafting higher.

If an Eichel trade backfires and Gaudreau doesn't sign, it might not even be a decision to rebuild or not.

Which is why protect 2023 1st overall
2023-24 Flames
Mangiapane - Bedard - Tkachuk
Pellettier - Lindholm - Coronato
Coleman - Backlund - Duehr
Eichel LTIR
And then Eichel is magically healthy in time for the 2024 playoffs and OldMan Backlund is 4C
