The Rangers traded Hayes for a first but nothing has come of that yet. Same with trading Zuccarello. Same with McDonough and Miller. So I’m not seeing the burn down by NYR either. Maybe I’m missing the time you are talking about.

In the last few years:
LA: Jeff Carter, Derek Forbort, Alec Martinez, Tyler Toffoli, Jack Campbell, Oscar Fantenberg, Carl Hagelin, Jake Muzzin
NYR: Brady Skjei, Jimmy Vesey, Adam McQuaid, Kevin Hayes, Mats Zuccarello, Ryan McDonagh, J.T Miller, Rick Nash, Michael Grabner
That’s ripping it down.
It takes years for things to come together. Ripping it down doesn’t mean you all of a sudden compete for a Cup, but you’re hoping you build the foundation for a Cup run. It’s a plan.
