New GM though could spark a rebuild as it's not the new guys team

The difficulty with a rebuild is the age/contract of some guys. They don't match with a complete overhaul and rebuild with newbies. They will still be eating pretty significnt cap space when new guys are RFAs.
Colorado won with all their key guys except Landeskog on RFA contracts. Two were sizable, but Mackinnon's was gold and Kadri was still under $5. they made a lot of hay with Nichuskin making 2.5 as well.
