I’d call it a half measure. Draft picks and prospects are rebuilding.
Honestly, other than an expansion team, are there any successful teams right now that have traded their way there instead of using high draft picks from a few rebuilding years? Other than the Rangers who get gifted players like Panarin and Fox, and even then they drafted twice in the top 2
