I love how the “rebuild” crowd makes it sound like a professional team should suit up 21 AHL players.

All teams need a blend of players from 19 to 35 and you have to have good competitive players who push each other or you won’t build a winning team in 4-5 years.

They got younger, faster, cheaper and another pick in a good draft - is this really win now?????

Rebuild, retool use whatever buzzwords you like, it’s been done this way everywhere. You can start to worry if we offered Toffoli an extension or overpay a UFA on July 1st, pretty sure that’s not happening so be thankful.

This is different and refreshing.
