I'd be okay with a rebuild myself. But I expect that it could be 8 years until a real strong perennial top 5 team could be built if not longer.

I'd still do it.
You could also end up like Chicago and get Bedard.
Odds are they'll be through multiple successful rebuilds in a 10-15 year span.
Part of me hopes Buffalo win the cup so people stop using them as the example of why not to rebuild.
