- They have several core players in their prime
- They are trying to get a new building
There's just no way. If Johnny leaves they will re-sign Tkachuk and then try to sign someone via free agency to replace Johnny.
The summer after is potentially when I can see them starting to consider the timing of a re-build. But not this year. No way. Ain't happening and we should all come to grips with that as those who want a re-build are going to be disappointed.

I agree with this. And for anyone that really wants a rebuild, I assume it's because you're not happy with the current version of the team. Is there any reason to believe the next build will go any better?
At this point, it at least feels like we have a team that is capable of being in the mix.
