They traded Smith, Jurco Ott and Vanek in 2017 for a former 1st round pick, a 2nd round pick, three 3rd round picks and a 6th round pick
They traded Tatar for a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd in February of 2018.
Pretty sure trading all your vets for picks is rebuilding so I would consider 2017 their starting point for their rebuild.
