I think that a rebuild isn't really possible given the current state of contracts. If you were to look at the players who are going to have to stay for the retool (or it would be silly to move), you start selling two of my favorite players on the team (Lindholm and Eat Bread). I'm not sure how I would react as a fan if that were to happen. What the team would look like for a retool :

Huberdeau - Kadri - Dube
Pelletier - Backlund - Coleman
Lucic - Ruzicka - Phillips
Lewis - Zohorna - Ritchie

Weegar - Andersson
Zadorov - Tanev
Mackie - Stone

Hanafin, Toffoli, Lindholm, Mangiapane sold at a high.
Zary, Kylington, Coronato, Wolf and various 'B' prospects waiting in the wings.

Is it worth it, or does the current lineup start to produce? Laid out, I would almost sit with the current lineup and hope that they turn the corner. You could also get a king's ransom for those four players in trade at the deadline.
