Sure, that's fine. Again point to Edmonton and Buffalo who tried to replicate it and failed spectacularly. But you're pretty much making up stuff when you say the Penguins kept their best players. They didn't.

I don’t even know of accidental successful tear downs. And certainly not ones involving trading the best players on the team. The Pens famously tanked to get Mario, and arguably later for Sid. But they kept their best players to play with those high draft picks.

You brought up the most famous and obvious successful accidental tear down while talking about not knowing about one. It's just absurd.
