If we ran a poll asking how long a rebuild should take, I would bet less than 10% respond “2 seasons”.



Not after nearly a decade relying on Iggy and Kipper. Doesn’t matter how good this Johnny Hockey kid is - you’re gonna need more than him.
Actually I agree. Honestly the problem is two prong. Talent evaluation and forecasting. Hand in hand. BT is pitiful at both IMO

Amateur scouting is good though. Get them as many picks as possible. Work to your strengths and hopefully hire someone who doesn't throw darts on July 1st and for some reason thinks a surplus of bodies on D is more important than scoring depth

Maybe someone who can learn and gets better. No rookies. No retreads.

Easier said than done obviously
