Get the core signed, get lucky on draft picks and the cap going up enough to dilute the big contracts. Anyone expecting anything else is deluding themselves.

Fans started to stop showing up this year in a season where the team wasn't eliminated from the playoffs until game 81.
The team had 100% attendance from 2013-2016 if we want to call that the last 'rebuild' era.
I don't think fans will be as excited to pay 50% increased ticket/concession prices in a new building with a team that has drafted 16th overall for the last 4 years. And short of getting another Gaudreau with a late round pick, help isn't coming.
