They can pretend it's a retool and call it a retool. But it's a rebuild. How is the team next season going to better than this season without Hanifin and Tanev and Lindholm?
IMO they flames playbook will be as follows:
1) sign UFA for 1-3 years
2) try to find misfits to buy at low prices
3) try to compete
4) sell off pending UFAs at deadline for picks and prospects
5) end the 2024-25 season missing the playoffs
6) hold a press conference around garbage day and say it's still a retool
