If a team isn’t a contender in year 3-4 after a top pick, they need to rebuild/retool or aggressively add veterans. Most teams that rebuild remain in the middle ground and never really accomplish anything. A big part of this is the fact that Cup winners very often have star-calibre players on entry level deals. As soon as a couple of the young guys are on their second contract, you’re basically in the #### for the foreseeable future and the job becomes significantly more difficult.

Goriders option is best for a cup? goriders has many times this late season/off season expressed that he's done with sucking and wants conroy to be using our excess cap space to bring ufas in and try to compete next season....1/4 season after selling players off at the deadline for the first time in this rebuild.
I mean if you include back to last summer with the tofolli trade that's a one year rebuild before adding ufas and going for it.
