Generally media and fans under-rate how hard rebuilds are and how often they fail.
I would also point to the Kings and suggest there are major questions about if their re-build will succeed. They have had a ton of high picks, but it's questionable if they've made the right choices with guys like Byfield, Clarke, and Turcotte.
And now they may be making the same mistake that so many teams do, trying to kick open their contention window.
Carolina are certainly the media darlings too right now.
