We'll see how the rest of the deals do (or don't go) but to me with this deal I get the impression that the team still thinks they will be competing for a play-off spot next season, if you are trying to compete for the play-offs you are not rebuilding.
I would also say that a 25 year old player with 3 NHL seasons is not a prospect, not a player for the future and not any part of a rebuild.
