2. Wolf somehow doesn’t pan out, which leaves us with absolutely nothing in net for when we’re trying to come out of a rebuild
Basically, if we do end up in the 1-4 range a couple times, it means our younger guys are significantly worse than we thought and we have significantly further to go.

The other thing against any rebuild is the age of the defensemen:
Kylington 25
Andersson 26
Hanifin 26
Zadorov 27
Weegar 29
When you have a D core like that, right in their prime, you don't rebuild. And then you add Wolf to that. IMO, that means you look for a quick and ongoing retooling with the forwards
