Nah, they drafted Stamkos and Hedman in 08 and 09. If that was a rebuild, it flopped and saw them once again drafting top 3 four years later (which they blew by drafting Drouin). They were still rockin' with older players like Vinnie LeCav, MSL, Brewer, by then, so I'm not sure how it was even a rebuild. Do most rebuilds take 10 years?
It was the emergence of Kucherov, Point and Vasilevsky that pushed them to the top.
