And the reason why teams wait to start them is because they can take so long.
I don't disagree with your broader point, but when GMs/Owners look around the league at extended re-builds, it certainly would reinforce a desire to squeeze every year you can from a core before you pull the plug on it.
I like how teams like the Canes manage for the short-term and long-term, but that's also yet to prove out to result in championships.
