Retooling teams do not make the trades we made, those are rebuilding trades.
I also believe Kuzmenko is not in our long term plans either, they brought him in to rebuild his value and dump him at the next deadline.

I could see Kuzmenko getting an offer though. I just think it likley does not happen as he will want more than Conroy is offering.
I think why some are saying this is not a rebuild is because Conroy will probably try re-sign Kuzmenko and Sharangovich and he won't trade guys like Coleman or Weegar or Rasmus unless they ask to be traded.
But I agree more players will be traded as some won't get the offer they want. I think Conroy just gets that if you ink a young player that can score 40+ goals to the correct contract, that's more valuable than hoping to get a 40+ goal guy with a late 1st or 2nd. You maybe have a 10% chance of that with those types of picks and we already have extras. If we are already near the bottom of the standings, why do we need to run more guys out?
