They're going re-tool, not re-build. No scorched Earth. As long as the goal by ownership is to contend for a playoff spot every year that's what is going to happen.
They can re-sign Lindholm and still trade others for a mix of players/picks/prospects coming back the other way. It's going to be a bit of a tough job but Conroy can help re-stock the prospect cupboard, get younger, and still be very competitive next year. I think that's the plan. And I'm pretty excited, after a pretty ugly season last year I'm pumped to see what team Conroy can put on the ice in October.
