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.

Well, we’ll see I guess. I had thought you were referring to successful rebuilds based on a burn down. Those examples haven’t really been determined yet. Most of those picks from those trades haven’t even really made the NHL by and large. And some were pretty minimal (eg Vesey).
